There are 12 remarkable moments in the life of Johnny Cash, a well-known music icon who made the most out of his life and left behind a collection of unforgettable memories. In this Loud List, we will provide you with a peek into the extensive influence that this legendary figure has had on popular culture throughout the years.
Cash was present at the beginning of rock 'n' roll, and he was part of a group called the "Million Dollar Quartet" along with Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and the iconic Elvis Presley. To start off this list, we have a video of Cash jokingly imitating "The King" in front of the cameras.
Despite the serious tone of Cash's songs, the musician had a strong sense of humor. We have a video clip of Johnny having a great time with comedian Steve Martin while attempting a card trick that doesn't go as planned. Later on, Cash went on to make appearances on Saturday Night Live and even made a cameo in The Simpsons.
However, above all else, "The Man in Black" gained fame for his musical talent and his ability to transcend genre boundaries. He even had a profound impact on renowned contemporary artist Beck, who was moved to tears when Cash praised one of his performances. To conclude, we present Cash's last interview in which he discusses the afterlife with MTV News host Kurt Loder.
