Johnny Cash was an iconic figure in the music industry. He lived a fulfilling life and left behind numerous memorable moments. In this Loud List, we will provide you with a glimpse into the profound influence Johnny Cash had on popular culture throughout his career.
Cash was present during the emergence of rock 'n' roll, and he played a significant role in what is now referred to as the "Million Dollar Quartet." This quartet consisted of Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and the iconic Elvis Presley. To start off our list, we provide you with a glimpse of Cash entertaining the audience and imitating "The King" in front of the cameras.
Even though Cash's songs were frequently serious, the musician possessed a decent sense of humor. We have a clip showing Johnny amusing himself with comedian Steve Martin while attempting a card trick that doesn't go as planned. Furthermore, Cash would later 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 music. His influence transcended traditional genres, and there was a moment when he moved contemporary rocker Beck to tears by praising one of his performances. As a parting note, we present Cash's last interview where he converses with MTV News host Kurt Loder about the concept of the afterlife.
