There are 12 remarkable moments in Johnny Cash's career that are impossible to forget. Johnny Cash was not only a music icon but also someone who lived his life to the fullest, creating numerous unforgettable moments for us. This Loud List aims to provide you with a glimpse of the significant influence Johnny Cash had on popular culture throughout the years.
Cash was present during the inception of rock 'n' roll, and his involvement in what is now referred to as the "Million Dollar Quartet" is widely acknowledged. Alongside him were Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and the iconic Elvis Presley. To start this list, we offer you a sneak peek of Cash playfully imitating "The King" in front of the cameras.
Despite Cash's songs often having a serious tone, the musician had a great sense of humor. We present to you a moment where Johnny shares a laugh with comedian Steve Martin while attempting a card trick that doesn't go as planned. Later, he would make appearances on Saturday Night Live and even make a cameo on The Simpsons.
However, above all else, Johnny Cash was primarily recognized for his music and the way it transcended genres. His influence was so powerful that it once moved contemporary rocker Beck to tears when Cash praised one of his performances. As a parting note, we present Cash's last interview where he converses with MTV News host Kurt Loder about the concept of the afterlife.
