Johnny Cash was a legendary figure in the music industry, known for his influential career and numerous memorable moments. In this Loud List, we will provide you with a sneak peek into the profound impact he had on popular culture throughout the years.
Cash was present during the emergence of rock 'n' roll, and he is often recognized as part of the "Million Dollar Quartet." This group also included Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and the iconic Elvis Presley. To start off this list, we provide you with a glimpse of Cash entertaining the cameras, as he imitates "The King" himself.
Despite the serious tone of Cash's songs, 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 also make appearances on Saturday Night Live and even make a cameo on The Simpsons.
However, above all else, Johnny Cash was renowned for his music and his ability to transcend genres. His influence was so powerful that it even moved contemporary musician Beck to tears when Cash praised one of his performances. As a final note, we present Cash's last interview, where he discusses the concept of the afterlife with MTV News host Kurt Loder.
