Johnny Cash, a renowned musician, had a significant influence on popular culture throughout his life. He created numerous memorable moments that continue to resonate with people. In this Loud List, we will provide you with a glimpse of the wide-ranging impact that this legendary figure had.
Cash was present when rock 'n' roll was born, and he is often remembered as part of the "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 video of Cash joking around in front of the cameras, imitating "The King" himself.
Even though Cash's songs were typically serious, the musician had a good sense of humor. We have a clip of Johnny amusing himself with comedian Steve Martin as they attempt a card trick that doesn't go as planned. Later on, Cash 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. His influence transcended genre boundaries, and at one particular moment, he moved contemporary rock artist Beck to tears when he praised one of his performances. As we conclude, we present Cash's last interview, in which he engages in a conversation about the afterlife with MTV News presenter Kurt Loder.
