Johnny Cash, a renowned figure in the music industry, left behind numerous noteworthy moments that are impossible to forget. This Loud List aims to provide a glimpse into the profound influence he had on popular culture throughout his life.
Cash was present at the beginning of rock 'n' roll, and he is often remembered for being part of the famous "Million Dollar Quartet." This group also included Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and the iconic Elvis Presley. To start off this list, we have a glimpse of Cash joking around in front of the cameras, imitating "The King" himself.
Despite the serious tone of Cash's songs, the musician had a strong sense of humor. We have an amusing clip of Johnny engaging in laughter 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 have a guest role on The Simpsons.
However, above all else, "The Man in Black" gained recognition for his music and the way it transcended genres. He even had a profound impact on modern day rocker Beck, who was moved to tears when Cash praised one of his performances. As a final offering, we present Cash's last interview in which he delves into the topic of the afterlife with MTV News host Kurt Loder.
