There are 12 remarkable moments in the career of Johnny Cash, a renowned music legend who lived a fulfilling life and left behind a collection of unforgettable memories. In this Loud List, we will provide you with a glimpse of the significant influence Johnny Cash had on popular culture throughout his career.

Cash was present during the emergence of rock & roll, and he is often recognized 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 charming glimpse of Cash imitating "The King" in front of the cameras.

Despite the serious tone of Cash's songs, the musician had a notable sense of humor. We have a delightful moment of Johnny engaging in laughter with comedian Steve Martin as they attempt a card trick that doesn't go as planned. Cash would later make appearances on Saturday Night Live and even have a cameo on The Simpsons.

However, the most significant aspect of Johnny Cash's legacy was his music, which transcended genres and had a profound impact. One instance of this impact was when he moved contemporary rock artist Beck to tears with his compliments on one of his performances. As a parting note, we present Cash's last interview where he delves into the topic of the afterlife with MTV News host Kurt Loder.
