Johnny Cash, a renowned musician, was highly influential and left behind a collection of remarkable moments that will be remembered. In this Loud List, we will explore some of the significant ways in which he influenced popular culture throughout his lifetime.
Johnny Cash was present at the beginning of rock 'n' roll, and he is often remembered for his involvement in the famous "Million Dollar Quartet." This quartet consisted of Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and the iconic Elvis Presley. To start off this list, we are providing a sneak peek of Cash entertaining the audience in front of the cameras, imitating "The King" himself.
Despite Cash's songs usually being serious, the musician possessed a decent sense of humor. We present to you a moment where Johnny is seen enjoying a laugh with comedian Steve Martin while attempting a card trick that doesn't go as planned. Later on, he would make appearances on Saturday Night Live and even make a cameo on The Simpsons.
However, above all else, "The Man in Black" was renowned for his musical talent. He defied the boundaries of genres and even managed to move contemporary rocker Beck to tears with his heartfelt praise for one of his performances. As a parting gift, we present Cash's last interview where he engages in a conversation about the afterlife with MTV News host Kurt Loder.
