Johnny Cash was an influential figure in the music industry, known for creating lasting memories through his incredible life and career. In this Loud List, we will explore some of the remarkable moments that showcased his immense influence on popular culture throughout the years.
Cash was present during the beginning of rock and roll, and his participation in the "Million Dollar Quartet" is well-known. This quartet consisted of Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and the iconic Elvis Presley. To start off this list, we have a glimpse of Cash entertaining the audience in front of the cameras, imitating "The King" himself.
Even though Cash's songs were often serious, the musician had a good sense of humor. We have a video clip of Johnny having a good time with comedian Steve Martin while attempting a card trick that doesn't go as planned. Later on, he would go on to make appearances on Saturday Night Live and even have a cameo in The Simpsons.
However, above all else, Johnny Cash was primarily recognized for his musical talent and his ability to transcend genres. His influence was so profound that he even moved contemporary rocker Beck to tears with his heartfelt praise for one of Beck's performances. To conclude, we present Cash's last interview, where he delves into a conversation about the afterlife with MTV News host Kurt Loder.
