There are 12 remarkable moments associated with Johnny Cash, who was an emblematic figure in the music industry. He lived life to the fullest and left behind a collection of unforgettable experiences. In this Loud List, we will provide you with a glimpse into the extensive influence Johnny Cash had on popular culture throughout the years.
Cash was present during the inception of rock 'n' roll, and he is often remembered for being part of the "Million Dollar Quartet." This quartet also included Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and the iconic Elvis Presley. To start off this list, we provide you with a sneak peek of Cash entertaining the cameras by imitating "The King" himself.
Even though Cash's songs were typically serious, the singer actually had a great sense of humor. We have a video clip of Johnny having a good laugh 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 make a cameo on The Simpsons.
However, above all else, Johnny Cash was primarily recognized for his musical talent. His influence extended beyond the boundaries of a specific genre, and at one memorable moment, he even moved contemporary rocker Beck to tears with his kind words about the musician's performance. As a parting gift, we present Cash's last interview, in which he engages in a conversation about the afterlife with MTV News presenter Kurt Loder.
