Johnny Cash was an iconic figure in the music industry, known for his remarkable life and the countless memorable moments he left us with. In this Loud List, we will provide you with a glimpse of the significant influence Johnny Cash had on popular culture throughout the years.
Cash was present during the emergence of rock 'n' roll, and he is often remembered for being part of the famous "Million Dollar Quartet." This quartet also included Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and the iconic Elvis Presley. To start off this list, we have a glimpse of Cash entertaining the cameras by impersonating "The King" himself.
Even though Cash's songs were usually serious, the artist had a great sense of humor. We have a clip of Johnny enjoying a laugh with comedian Steve Martin while attempting a card trick that doesn't go as planned. Later on, Cash would also make appearances on Saturday Night Live and even have a cameo on The Simpsons.
However, above all else, "The Man in Black" was renowned for his musical talent and his ability to transcend genres. At one particular moment, he even moved contemporary rock musician Beck to tears with his heartfelt praise for one of his performances. Lastly, we conclude with Cash's last interview, where he engaged in a thought-provoking conversation about the afterlife with MTV News host Kurt Loder.
