Johnny Cash, a renowned music legend, had a remarkable life and left behind numerous memorable moments. This Loud List aims to provide a glimpse into the significant influence he had on popular culture throughout the years.
Johnny Cash was present during the birth of rock and roll, and he is often remembered as part of the famous "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 glimpse of Cash goofing around in front of the cameras, impersonating "The King" himself.
Despite the serious tone of Cash's songs, the musician had a great sense of humor. We have a video clip of Johnny enjoying a good laugh with comedian Steve Martin while attempting a card trick that doesn't go as planned. Cash would later go on to make appearances on Saturday Night Live and even have a guest role on The Simpsons.
However, above all else, Johnny Cash was famous for his music and his ability to transcend genres. He had such a profound impact that he even moved contemporary artist Beck to tears with his praise for one of Beck's performances. As a final note, we present Cash's last interview where he discusses the afterlife with MTV News host Kurt Loder.
