Johnny Cash, a renowned music legend, has left behind numerous unforgettable moments that have made a lasting impact on popular culture. In this Loud List, we will provide you with a glimpse into the wide-ranging influence he had throughout his life.
Cash was present during the emergence of rock & roll, and he played a significant role in what is now referred to as the "Million Dollar Quartet." This quartet also included Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and the iconic Elvis Presley. To begin our list, we have a delightful moment captured on camera where Cash humorously imitates "The King" himself.
Despite the serious tone of Cash's songs, the musician had a decent sense of humor. We have a video of Johnny having a good laugh 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 make a cameo on The Simpsons.
However, above all else, Johnny Cash was famous for his music and his ability to transcend genres. His influence was so powerful that he once moved contemporary rocker Beck to tears with his praise for one of Beck's performances. As a final note, we present Cash's last interview, where he discusses the concept of the afterlife with MTV News host Kurt Loder.
