In this Loud List, we will provide you with a glimpse into the extensive influence he had on popular culture.
Johnny Cash was present during the birth of rock 'n' roll, and he is often remembered as being part of the famous "Million Dollar Quartet." This quartet also included Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and the iconic Elvis Presley. To start off this list, we have a glimpse of Cash showcasing his talent in front of the cameras, impersonating "The King" himself.
Despite the serious tone of Cash's songs, the musician possessed a considerable sense of humor. We present to you a moment of Johnny enjoying 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 guest appearance on The Simpsons.
However, above all else, "The Man in Black" was primarily recognized for his musical talent and the significant influence he had on various music genres. At one particular moment, he moved modern-day rocker Beck to tears with his praise for one of Beck's performances. And as a final note, we present Cash's last interview where he engages in a conversation with MTV News host Kurt Loder about the concept of the afterlife.
