There are 12 moments involving Johnny Cash that are truly memorable. Johnny Cash, a renowned figure in the music industry, lived a fulfilling life and gifted us with numerous unforgettable experiences. In this Loud List, we will provide you with a peek into the extensive influence that this legendary artist had on popular culture throughout the years.
Johnny Cash was present at the beginning of rock 'n' roll, and he was part of a group that would later be called the "Million Dollar Quartet." This quartet also consisted of 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.

Cash later made appearances on Saturday Night Live and even had a cameo in The Simpsons.
