Johnny Cash, a renowned figure in the music industry, had a remarkable life and gifted us with numerous memorable moments. In this Loud List, we will provide you with a sneak peek into the extensive influence this legendary artist had on popular culture throughout the years.
Johnny Cash was present during the emergence of rock 'n' roll, and he is often remembered as part of the famous "Million Dollar Quartet." This group also included Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and the iconic Elvis Presley. As a way to start this list, we have a video of Cash entertaining the audience by imitating "The King" in front of the cameras.
Even though Cash's songs were usually serious, the musician had a great sense of humor. We have a funny moment of Johnny laughing with comedian Steve Martin as they try to perform a card trick that doesn't go as planned. Later on, Cash would make appearances on Saturday Night Live and even have a guest appearance on The Simpsons.
However, above all else, "The Man in Black" was famous for his music and the way it transcended different genres. At one point, he even moved contemporary rocker Beck to tears with his heartfelt praise for one of his performances. As a final note, we present Cash's last interview, where he talks about the afterlife with MTV News host Kurt Loder.
