Johnny Cash, a renowned music figure, was known for his remarkable life and numerous unforgettable moments. In this Loud List, we will provide insights into how the legendary artist influenced popular culture throughout the years.
Cash was present during the birth of rock 'n' roll, and he played a significant role in what is now referred to as the "Million Dollar Quartet." This quartet consisted of Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and the iconic Elvis Presley. To start off this list, we offer you a sneak peek of Cash entertaining the cameras by impersonating "The King" himself.
Despite the serious tone of Cash's songs, the musician had a great sense of humor. We have a video clip of Johnny having a good laugh with comedian Steve Martin while attempting a card trick that doesn't go as planned. Afterward, he made appearances on Saturday Night Live and even had a cameo on The Simpsons.
However, above all else, Johnny Cash was renowned for his musical talent and his ability to transcend genre boundaries. He had a profound impact on the music industry, so much so that he even moved contemporary rocker Beck to tears with his admiration for one of his performances. As a parting gift, we present Cash's last interview, where he delves into the topic of the afterlife with MTV News host Kurt Loder.
