I got to meet cash when I was little. My great grandfather loved him and never missed a show when he would come through. I don't remember much other than him saying 'quite don't you know who that man is. It's Johnny Cash.' I later got to shake his hand and he told me I was a beautiful little girl. Ah now I miss my grandpa.
It was very funny, Elvis must have laughed a lot when he saw this.😁 they were good friends, I wish they had a performance together, and how good Johnny sounds, I wish he performed the whole song seriously too.
Yeah ..that was 1956 .. Johnny Cash saisd himself in an interview in the '80's that he never spoke to or saw Elvis again after Elvis went into the Army.. He did'nrt say anything bad about him...just stating a fact.
One of Johnny's own biographer has an in-depth detailed interview in the book where Johnny states matter-of-factly he and Elvis were not as tight or close in the 1970s as they were in the younger years, BUT he did say that he and Elvis saw each other a couple times in the Vegas years and they spoke on the phone as well. He also spoke very affectionately and emotionally on a number of video interviews reflecting on what he himself refer to as "my friend" when talking about Elvis. I find it silly to try to downplay a friendship between two people. At the end of the day, bottomline, even though they were not extremely close and didn't talk all the time throughout the years, they both respected each other and considered each other friends.
He does the Elvis dance so well! (Sorry I don’t know the name of the dance); I’m only 20; how did Johnny live so long! What an absolute legend! 50/60’s music was amazing! Wish I lived when they did! Jerry lee, Elvis and Johnny would have been incredible to see live!
I forgot to mention after he did the imitation of Elvis, Marshall Grant had a revolver in his coat and pulled it out as Johnny was combing his hair and dropped his comb on the stage floor after imitating Elvis as shooting at Lice on the comb of Johnny Cash. I think it was a Colt 45 or something like that.and the crowd jumped up for the noise scared the shit out of everybody as it was echoed through the arena. I remember the nice brown suit he was wearing with Goochie shoes. I was young at the time now I'm 75. Buck Owens was also pretty big at that time.
I saw him do that imitation in person in 1962 at the McIntyre arena in Timmins. Good show, him and Johnny Western, Gordon Terry. Gates Lepine was there also and spoke with the man himself about song writing. I was right at his feet in front of the stage.. I think he was a little zonked out haha. He kept putting his thumb in his mouth as if he was holding his teeth or something haha. But he looked good in a nice brown suit and a tie which he pulled of after busting a few guitar strings. hehee. "Johnny Yuma the Rebel" was on his roster then. Jim prince from CKGB radio was hoping he'd come to the station to say hello. Good luck on that one. haha. Love the man.
For all you haters out there Johnny cash is awesome, maybe not as awesome as elvis but he wasn't trying to make fun of him he was trying to impersonate and elvis impersonator he clearly stated that before he started
for all you haters out there is a strong word, its not right of you to do that, just because some question it, in turn, i could say to all you haters out there, see my point, its useless, and serves no purpose, in life,
Love this! Just a joke. Elvis was hilarious too, when he was supposed to assume "macho" attitudes (see him in "Trouble", he's giggling with the audience). Johnny is such an special person and artist. Love his voice, his acting, his funny and thoughtful moments.
omg guys stop arguing, johnny cash did this as a comedical thing. He never mocked him he stated what he was doing before he did it and it was supposed to be a funny thing not being jelous. you are just hating johnny cash lol
I read in George Klein's book Elvis My Best Man he and Elvis were on a train a girl saw him she thought Elvis was Johnny Cash she asked him to sing a line of his songs and a signature so Elvis Inpersonated Johnny Cash and inpersonatinated his signature
Johnny did a great impersonation of a man impersonating Elvis.. So hilarious. But when asked of Elvis who his favorite Elvis impersonator was, Elvis answered, Andy Kaufman.
@@leslieweger3586 yeah. You should check out Elvis' impersonation of Johnny Cash in 1970, where unlike this where it wasnt meant to sound like Elvis, in Elvis' impersonation of Johnny, Elvis sounds just like Johnny. Crazy. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1CAudY_pAjw.html
Hauru Eikichi Why would you wish ill will on other people? You shouldn't do that. Weren't we taught be our Savior to love, pray for, not judge, not condemn and to forgive one another? Yes he did. So please stop.
Linda Lee : Johnny Cash is as great as Elvis, one of them is The country man and the other The rock'n'roll man and in fact they liked very much both of them. If you dont know what a joke is, then go away, and keep silent.
Cash was not jealous of Elvis. Both had very different personalities. Both sang wonderful gospel songs and were an inspiration to many. But like all men, they had their faults. Elvis loved the women. Cash had a hard time with the drugs. I don't think you could say either was "better" in that respect.
Kevin Barry Man, I guess you don't understand the kind of humour Johnny had...and Elvis impersonated Johnny too...they were good friends and both big worldstars...legends on the same level
Kevin Barry What does dropping out of school to tend to your personal matters have to do with anything? You should have fixed this problem either after your father died or during his last days. I'm not trying to be mean or offensive. I'm telling you to quit your whining and get your shit together. You shouldn't fix your grammar because someone on RU-vid told you to. You should fix your grammar because it is one of the many necessary tools required to function both effectively and productively in society.
