Johnny Cash, a highly influential figure in the music industry, is remembered for numerous significant moments that have left a lasting impression. The Loud List aims to provide a glimpse into the extensive influence Johnny Cash had on popular culture throughout his life.
Johnny Cash was present during the birth of rock 'n' roll, and he is often remembered as a part of the famous "Million Dollar Quartet". This quartet also featured Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and the iconic Elvis Presley. To start off our list, we have a glimpse of Cash playfully imitating "The King" in front of the cameras.
Despite the serious tone of Cash's songs, the musician had a great sense of humor. We have a funny moment to share with you where Johnny is seen laughing with comedian Steve Martin while attempting a card trick that doesn't go as planned. Later on, Cash would make appearances on Saturday Night Live and even have a guest role on The Simpsons.
However, the most important aspect of "The Man in Black" was his music and how it transcended genres. At one particular moment, he even moved contemporary rocker Beck to tears with a heartfelt compliment on one of his performances. As a final note, we present Cash's last interview where he discusses the afterlife with MTV News host Kurt Loder.
