We will delve into these moments, showcasing the extent of his influence over the years.
Cash was present at the beginning of the rock 'n' roll era, and he was part of a group called the "Million Dollar Quartet." This quartet included other famous musicians like Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and the iconic Elvis Presley. To start off this list, we have a video of Cash entertaining the audience by imitating "The King" himself in front of the cameras.

We have a video clip of Johnny enjoying a funny 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 in The Simpsons.
However, above all else, "The Man in Black" was famous for his music and his ability to transcend genre boundaries.

As a parting note, we present Cash's last interview where he converses with MTV News host Kurt Loder about the concept of the afterlife.
