There are 12 memorable moments in the life of Johnny Cash, a renowned musician who had a significant influence on popular culture throughout his career. This Loud List will provide you with a glimpse into the lasting impact he had on the world.
Johnny Cash was present during the emergence of rock 'n' roll and is often remembered for being part of the famous "Million Dollar Quartet." This group also consisted of Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and the iconic Elvis Presley. To start off this list, we offer you a sneak peek of Cash's playful interaction in front of the cameras, as he impersonates "The King" himself.
While Cash's songs typically had a serious tone, the musician possessed a notable sense of humor. We present to you a moment where Johnny shares some laughter 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 on The Simpsons.
However, above all else, Johnny Cash was primarily recognized for his musical talent and his ability to transcend different music genres. His influence was so great that he even moved contemporary rocker Beck to tears with his praise for one of his performances. As a parting gift, we present Cash's last interview where he engages in a conversation about the afterlife with MTV News host Kurt Loder.
