In this Loud List, we will provide you with a glimpse of how Johnny Cash influenced 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 "Million Dollar Quartet."

However, above all, "The Man in Black" was renowned for his musical talent, which transcended traditional genre boundaries.

As a parting note, we present Cash's last interview, where he discussed the concept of the afterlife with MTV News presenter Kurt Loder.
