Johnny Cash, a well-known musician, was a highly influential figure in the music industry. Throughout his life, he created numerous memorable moments that have left a lasting impression. In this Loud List, we will provide you with a sneak peek into the significant impact that Johnny Cash had on popular culture throughout the years.
Johnny Cash was present during the birth of rock 'n' roll, and he was part of a group that later became known as the "Million Dollar Quartet." This group also included Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and the iconic Elvis Presley. To start off the list, we have a video of Cash playfully imitating "The King" in front of the cameras.
Despite the serious tone of Cash's songs, the musician had a good sense of humor. We have a clip of Johnny having a great time with comedian Steve Martin as they attempt a card trick that doesn't go as planned. Later on, Cash would also make appearances on Saturday Night Live and even have a cameo on The Simpsons.
However, most importantly, Johnny Cash was primarily recognized for his musical talent and his ability to transcend genre boundaries. At one particular moment, he moved the contemporary rocker Beck to tears with his heartfelt praise for one of the musician's performances. As we conclude, we present Cash's last interview in which he engaged in a conversation about the afterlife with MTV News presenter Kurt Loder.
