Johnny Cash was an iconic musician who had a profound impact on popular culture. Throughout his life, he created numerous unforgettable moments that continue to be cherished by fans. In this Loud List, we will provide you with a glimpse into the wide-ranging influence that this legendary artist had on our society.

Cash was present during the birth of rock and roll and was part of a group that would later be called the "Million Dollar Quartet." This group included Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and the iconic Elvis Presley. To start off this list, we have a glimpse of Cash joking around in front of the cameras, imitating "The King" himself.

Despite the serious tone of Cash's songs, the artist possessed 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. In the future, he would also make appearances on Saturday Night Live and even make a cameo on The Simpsons.

However, above all else, "The Man in Black" was famous for his music, which transcended genres, and at one time, he moved modern-day rocker Beck to tears by praising his performance. And finally, we present Cash's last interview, where he talks about the afterlife with MTV News host Kurt Loder.
