There were 12 remarkable moments in the life of Johnny Cash, a legendary musician who left a lasting impact on popular culture. In this Loud List, we will provide you with a glimpse into the significant influence he had throughout the years.
Cash was present at the beginning of rock 'n' roll, and is often remembered for being part of the famous "Million Dollar Quartet." This group also included Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and the iconic Elvis Presley. To start off this list, we have a video of Cash joking around in front of the cameras, imitating "The King" himself.
While Cash's songs typically had a serious tone, the musician did possess a good sense of humor. We present a moment where Johnny shares a laugh with comedian Steve Martin while attempting a card trick that doesn't go as planned. Later on, Cash would make appearances on Saturday Night Live and even have a cameo on The Simpsons.
However, above all else, Johnny Cash was primarily recognized for his musical talents. His influence transcended genre boundaries, and at one particular moment, he moved contemporary rocker Beck to tears by praising his performance. As a concluding note, we present Cash's last interview, in which he engages in a conversation about the afterlife with Kurt Loder, the host of MTV News.
