Johnny Cash, a renowned music figure, was known for his remarkable life and numerous unforgettable moments. This Loud List aims to provide a peek into the significant influence he had on popular culture throughout the years.
Cash was present at the beginning of rock 'n' roll, and many people remember him being part of a group called 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 video of Cash having fun in front of the cameras, imitating "The King" himself.
Despite the serious tone of Cash's songs, the musician possessed a decent sense of humor. We present a clip of Johnny engaging in laughter with comedian Steve Martin as they attempt a card trick that does not go as planned. Furthermore, Cash went on to make appearances on Saturday Night Live and even had a cameo on The Simpsons.
However, above all, "The Man in Black" was renowned for his music and his ability to transcend genres. He even had a profound influence on modern day rocker Beck, who was moved to tears when Cash praised one of his performances. To conclude, we present Cash's last interview, where he discusses the concept of the afterlife with MTV News host Kurt Loder.
