There were 12 remarkable moments in the life of Johnny Cash, a renowned musician who made the most out of his time and left behind a collection of unforgettable memories. In this Loud List, we will provide you with a glimpse into the extensive influence that this legendary figure had on popular culture throughout the years.
Johnny Cash was present during the birth of rock & roll and was part of a famous gathering known as the "Million Dollar Quartet." Alongside him were Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and the iconic Elvis Presley. To begin our list, we have a glimpse of Cash entertaining the cameras by imitating "The King" himself.
Even though the songs of Cash were usually serious, the musician had a good sense of humor. We have a clip of Johnny having a fun time 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 have a cameo on The Simpsons.
However, above all, the legendary musician known as "The Man in Black" was primarily recognized for his music and his ability to transcend musical genres. He once moved contemporary rock artist Beck to tears with his heartfelt praise for one of Beck's performances. As a final tribute, we present Cash's last interview, where he engages in a thought-provoking conversation about the afterlife with MTV News presenter Kurt Loder.
