Johnny Cash, a renowned music legend, lived a remarkable life and created numerous unforgettable moments. In this Loud List, we will provide you with a glimpse into the profound influence he had on popular culture throughout the years.
Cash was present during the emergence of rock 'n' roll, and he is often associated with what is now referred to as the "Million Dollar Quartet." This quartet consisted of Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and the iconic Elvis Presley. To begin our list, we have a glimpse of Cash playfully imitating "The King" in front of the cameras.
Even though Cash's songs were often serious, the musician had a good sense of humor. We have a clip of Johnny having a lighthearted moment with comedian Steve Martin while attempting a card trick that doesn't go as planned. He later went on to make appearances on Saturday Night Live and even had a cameo on The Simpsons.
However, primarily, Johnny Cash was famous for his music and his ability to transcend different genres. He was so influential that he once moved contemporary rocker Beck to tears with his praise for one of Beck's performances. Lastly, we present Cash's last interview where he talks about the afterlife with MTV News host Kurt Loder.
