Johnny Cash, a renowned figure in the music industry, was known for his extraordinary life and numerous memorable moments. In this Loud List, we will provide you with a glimpse into the significant influence he had on popular culture throughout his career.
Johnny Cash was present during the early days of rock 'n' roll, and he is often mentioned as being part of the famous "Million Dollar Quartet." This quartet also consisted of Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and the iconic Elvis Presley. To start off this list, we have a glimpse of Cash playfully imitating "The King" in front of the cameras.
Even though Cash's songs were typically serious, he had a good sense of humor. We have a clip of Johnny having a laugh with comedian Steve Martin while attempting a card trick that doesn't go as planned. Later, Cash would go on to make appearances on Saturday Night Live and even make a cameo on The Simpsons.
However, above all else, Johnny Cash was famous for his music. His influence transcended genres, and at one particular moment, he moved contemporary rocker Beck to tears by praising one of his performances. As a parting gift, we present Cash's last interview, in which he talks about the afterlife with MTV News presenter Kurt Loder.
