There are 12 memorable moments in the life of Johnny Cash, a renowned musician who had a significant influence on popular culture. This Loud List provides a glimpse into the lasting impact he had throughout his career.
Cash was present during the birth of rock 'n' roll, and many people acknowledge his participation in what is now famously referred to as the "Million Dollar Quartet." The quartet also consisted of Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and the iconic Elvis Presley. To begin our list, we present a moment captured on camera where Cash playfully 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 playful moment with comedian Steve Martin while attempting 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, above all else, "The Man in Black" was renowned for his musical talent and his ability to transcend genres. At one particular moment, he even moved modern-day rocker Beck to tears with his heartfelt compliment on one of Beck's performances. As a parting gift, we present Cash's last interview, where he delves into the topic of the afterlife with MTV News host Kurt Loder.
