Johnny Cash, an influential figure in the music industry, had a remarkable life that resulted in numerous memorable moments. In this compilation, known as the Loud List, we will be provided with a sneak peek into the wide-ranging influence Johnny Cash had on popular culture throughout the years.
Johnny Cash was present during the early days of rock and roll, particularly during the gathering that later became known as the "Million Dollar Quartet." This quartet included other notable musicians such as Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and the iconic Elvis Presley. To begin our list, we offer you a sneak peek of Cash playfully imitating "The King" in front of the cameras.
Despite the serious nature of Cash's songs, the musician had a good sense of humor. We have a video where Johnny is seen laughing and having fun with comedian Steve Martin while attempting a card trick that doesn't go as planned. Later, Cash would also make appearances on Saturday Night Live and even have a cameo in The Simpsons.
However, above all else, Johnny Cash was renowned for his musical talent and his ability to transcend genre boundaries. He had a profound impact on the music industry, to the extent that he once moved contemporary rock artist Beck to tears with his compliments on one of his performances. As a parting gift, we present Cash's last interview where he engages in a conversation about the afterlife with MTV News presenter Kurt Loder.
