Johnny Cash, a renowned music figure, had a remarkable life and created numerous memorable moments for us to cherish. In this Loud List, we will provide you with a glimpse into the extensive influence he had on popular culture throughout his career.
Johnny Cash was present during the birth of rock 'n' roll, and he is famously known to have been part of the "Million Dollar Quartet." This quartet also included Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and the iconic Elvis Presley. To start off, we have a delightful moment captured on camera where Cash playfully imitates "The King."
Even though Cash's songs were typically serious, the musician did possess a good sense of humor. We have a clip of Johnny having a great time with comedian Steve Martin as they attempt a card trick that doesn't go as planned. Additionally, he would later make appearances on Saturday Night Live and even have a cameo on The Simpsons.
However, above all, Johnny Cash was primarily recognized for his music. His influence transcended genres and was so profound that he once moved contemporary rock artist Beck to tears with a heartfelt compliment about 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.
