Johnny Cash, a well-known figure in the music industry, had a profound impact on our lives through his music and created numerous memorable moments. This Loud List aims to provide a brief insight into the extensive influence he had on popular culture throughout the years.
Cash was present during the birth of rock 'n' roll and is often remembered for being part of the famous "Million Dollar Quartet." This quartet included Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and the iconic Elvis Presley. To start off this list, we have a glimpse of Cash entertaining the cameras by impersonating "The King" himself.
