Yup, Chuck Berry was The King of Rock. This song was selected to be put on a golden record and placed aboard the Voyager Spacecraft. In a million years we may we may all be gone, but somewhere in the universe Chuck Berry will remain imprinted on cold, one the last remnants of humanity.
huck Berry was the king of guitar rock. Every guitarist worth his salt TODAY knows how to play his music. I was blessed to see Chuck Berry at a small club in San Diego back in 1990. He was insanely entertaining! We sat through both shows that night.
I was 14 in 1958, and loved this song so much, that era was just getting into rock 'n roll with all the new music and stars like Elvis, Fats Domino, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly and so many greats, just getting started. We really were lucky to be witness to it all. Now I can relive those times when I see people like yourself, reacting in such a wonderful way to "my" music! Thank you!
you hit the nail on the head....this is the original king of rock.... they sent Chuck Berry's "Johnny B Goode" song into outer space along with Beethoven and a few other pieces of music to explain Our World
Chuck Berry is considered the king of rock n roll guitar. Rock guitarists are still using his licks. I got the privilege of seeing him at a club in San Diego 28 years ago. We sat through both shows. He is so entertaining!
Chuck Berry really was the greatest he had lots of great hit songs as well as the songs that weren't hits were great as well he wrote almost all of the songs he played.
You're right about that. I was never into Elvis. Chuck Berry was King. He was so cool, was his own man, he was funny with his stage antics, and his lyrics were great. He also fused blues with country and made it into his own style.
The father of guitar rock! My mother was a teenager when Chuck came out. Back in '89 I had the privilege of taking my mother and a lady from my work to see Chuck Berry at a small club in San Diego. As the band warmed up Chuck came strolling through the back door and onto the stage. He always drove himself to his gigs in an old beater car. He set his guitar case on the floor by the drums and then pulled out that legendary guitar. Total silence. The anticipation was nuts. He casually plugged the guitar into a small Fender amp that was waiting for him. There were a lot of crackling and buzzing noises. One of the band members came over to help him figure out where it was coming from. We were all practically wetting our pants at this point. They discovered that his guitar cord was trashed. They gave him a new one. He plugged it in, faced us, and then let go with both barrels. Damn near knocking us off our seat, starting with Roll Over Beethoven. The excitement didn't stop until he left the stage. Even his exit was amazing. He invited everyone in the club to come up on the stage and dance. Of course they did and the stage was jam packed with dancers. Chuck held the guitar above his head and kept on playing as he made his way to the exit. He played two shows that night. We stayed through both. Oh JB, if you could only have been there. I was born in '62, so by the time that I knew who he was he was already practically a legend. He was like a hero to me from the time I was a little boy, so getting to see him so close (he got his sweat on us when he shook his head) was one of the most exciting times of my life.
i was born in 1976 we were raised on his music my daddy loved him and so do we he melts my heart when i hear him i watch his lives all the time his last one i cried but he still rocked that guitar
Oh sweetie, 1958 is a year after I graduated from HS! (yes, that makes me 79 years old :0 ) and I so enjoy your reactions! Seems like yesterday to me, but then that's my perspective, not yours. Elvis was just getting started, he even came to my hometown, Daytona Beach FL to perform and I think he was only 17 or 18 years old himself. Keep up the good work, you are special. :)
Thank you, it is easy to appreciate his personality. The memories he shares and appreciate touch each of us in different ways depending on what experiences we attach to each song.
See Chuck in 1995, at the UNO Lake Front Arena, in New Orleans, and he was awesome and his playing set the amplifier on fire, he brought the house down. He was the founder, the chairman of the board the King Of Rock.
I grew up listening to this and a lot of other 50's and 60's music on my mom's old 45 records. My dad listened to classic country, and my grandmother listened to gospel and very early country. My teenage aunt and her friends all listened to 70's classic rock and pop. I think I had a very priveleged childhood, musically speaking. I appreciate music of all genres and generations, and I see that you do too. 👍👍
I admire you for exploring music. Yes, you are correct Chuck berry was the true king of rock and roll. Chuck berry started in 1952 Elvis Presley started in 1954. It's just that Elvis Presley was televised and exposed to America and the world. Chuck berry took some time, but he got his recognition.
My father got to see all the greats from the early wave of rock like Chuck, Little Richard, et al. He was a 19 year old kid in 1958, going to the Uptown Theater in Philadelphia to see the originals with my uncle. What lucky guys they were...💚🦅🏈 #FlyEaglesFly
I think this is the best era for music because you can hear ALL of it - any music, from any era at your fingertips because of UA-cam and the internet. The only obstacle is lack of curiosity and close-mindedness. Take yourself...you only listened to rap before. Now the entirety of humanity's musical history library is available to you. Just go listen.
Many of rock ’n’ roll’s greatest guitarists list Chuck Berry as one of their influences. As do many other musicians.Keith Richards famously said he lifted all of Berry’s licks.John Lennon said: “If you tried to give rock and roll another name, you might call it ‘Chuck Berry.’”
This really made me smile.😁To see you discover the joys of Chuck Berry’s music, just great. You may know this by now but he was called “The Father of Rock’n’Roll”. He wrote SO many incredible songs, a few of them covered by Elvis over the years. I agree with others who’ve suggested Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard, two MORE pioneers of the first rock era.
About 7 years ago this came on while I was in a big waiting room at the doctors. Every single person reacted to it. Kids started dancing old ladies tapped their cane. This is perfect song. I am still testing my theory that everybody loves this! New music... You gotra listen to more indie. Still a mot of good stuff around😊 Radiohead man radiohead!!
Chuck Berry's catalog of songs literally contains dozens of tunes considered to be rock and roll standards and covered by thousands of bands from kids playing in the garage to The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. (and Jimi Hendrix, Bruce Springsteen, Linda Ronstadt, Elvis, David Bowie and many, many other top bands) Stones guitarist Keith Richards idolized Chuck his whole life as did John Lennon and Paul McCartney. There is a documentary movie (Hail, Hail Rock and Roll) of Keith Richards and Chuck playing and rehearsing and talking music and even bickering that is fascinating, enlightening and hugely entertaining. Chuck Berry's entire life was amazing. He was born and raised and died in his hometown of St. Louis, MO and I was privileged once to see him play. I doubt any single human will ever approach his legacy in the annals of Rock & Roll.

Elvis is the king of rock n roll because he BROUGHT the change to the world. There were lots of rockers but Elvis changed the face of music all over the globe. They wouldn't even show him below the waist on TV because his style of dance was "indecent"! LOL Elvis is king.
Chuck Berry is known as the godfather of Rock. Now if you want to know who I think the godmother of Rock N Roll is I would have to say Sister Rosetta Tharpe. Check out her guitar playing. AMAZING!!!
You were born in your own time. My teens love these songs. You will find happiness because I have been watching you for months. Not weird, had ankle surgery. Layed up
Trevon Womack Little Richard is great mention. That said I'm tired of hearing about "stealing music". Nobody stole anything. Everyone has a right to be influenced by anyone they want. Covering songs is as old as time and in America if someone has the copyright rights to a song they have control or get paid. America needs to stop with the "multi-cultural" crap with the "black music" "white music" bullshit and get back to the MELTING POT which was what made America the great nation it is today. There is a complete difference in those two philosophies.
Thomas DeMay actually The Beach Boys stole music from Chuck berry. He was going to sue them but back then he would’ve had no chance of winning as our system was corrupt as hell. And I’m white but even I know that rock music evolved from blues and jazz which were primarily black musicians. Not trying to be disrespectful or anything just sayin. Have a good day.
evolve is something completely different than "stealing". having influence from someone is common no matter what the race. I understand where Rock evolved from but what does anyone care about the race for? only for politics because it can be called "stealing" to act like it's some race crime. whole debate is a sham.
Thomas DeMay true as some of that may be The Beach Boys flat out STOLE from Chuck berry it’s very common knowledge. And back in the day a lot of black artists were way better and were not allowed to play in certain areas and venues. That’s why sometimes race has to be brought into it. I’m not trying to be difficult or ill tempered just stating what I believe is true.
As a California long haired hippie with flowers in my hair i didn't like Elvis as a teen.But I do now. Yet even back in 1958 when I was 7 I loved Chuck Berry and esp.as a Louisiana native Johnny B Good! It has been so fun watching a sampling of your reactions of all types artist tonight. I subbed earlier for Tom MacDonald,but even if (Gof forbid) you gave upon Tom, I'll still be watching you,
wow....watching your reactions to your videos I had the same thought....you were born a generation too late.....so much GREAT music came out of the 50's, 60's and 70's...R.I.P. Mr. Chuck Berry The Father of Rock and Roll
All of the old legends, are important to rock and roll. They all contributed so much. Little Richard, Elvis, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lewis, Buddy Holly, and more. They all gave so much to the music world, and all deserve the praise they receive.
When NASA sent the Voyager into space, they put a solid gold record on it with directions on how to listen to it. It had something like 50 languages saying Hello and music. CHUCK BERRY singing Johnnie be B. Goode was on that record. So I guess you could say that Chuck Berry is the best in the universe. Lol 😆
I believe rock and roll had four fathers: Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Carl Perkins, and Buddy Holly. They all wrote great songs, they were all great performers, and they were truly originals - inventing a blend of gospel, blues, country, and folk.
In 1958 I was a 10 year old white boy living in a white neighborhood going to a white school. But me and my white friends would listen in on the music that our older brothers and sisters were starting to play on their radios and record players....and a whole new world opened up to me.....the world of rock and roll, the world of blacks, the world of music as a universal language. It was transforming for me, now having black music icons as well as white, and it would prepare me to be on the right side over the next several years as the Civil Rights movement started to end segregation. And you're right....it was an entire court of "Kings of Rock and Roll", all of them, black and white, influencing each other and borrowing from one another, whether it was music or gyrations. I don't think you can discount the African and Caribbean origin, though, to what evolved in to rock and roll. By the way, you said you felt like getting up to dance while you were listening....I did get up and start dancing while I was watching! And at 71 years old I think I still have some pretty good moves. On the other hand, no one was watching me. Hey, keep doing what you're doing. You do it very well!
Chuck Berry started in 1955, after Elvis started the year before. Chuck saw Elvis's very early shows, before the rest of the country knew of Elvis - and Chuck was very impressed. At some point that year, he gave up his day job and became the Chuck Berry we see on that film. But they were both great beyond great, and they both took their styles from both R&B and from Country music. Elvis was more into gospel music and spirituals, though. Chuck Berry was awesome! And he was strictly rock and roll, not ballads or anything else. He was THE influence on surf music. The Beach Boys and all of those California surf groups, the sound was straight Chuck Berry. The Beatles also did a few of his songs. Oh, and clearly, Elvis's favorite Chuck Berry song was "Promised Land." In the 70s, Elvis would go to a Chuck Berry show and yell out "do "Promised Land"!" He finally recorded it himself and it was his last great record in his lifetime. And then there was Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard . . . the whole first group of rock and roll hall of famers. Don't stop exploring Elvis though! You haven't heard, I don't think, his gospel and spiritual songs! "Peace In The Valley": you gotta hear that! If nothing else, you gotta hear that. His gospel singing is something you should do a reaction video for. Elvis sang almost EVERY type of music. Whereas most of the other pioneers stuck with rock and roll.
This took me back my dad was a huge fan of Chuck Berry. Dad passed away in 2010. Love your channel, the reactions are cool and you really listen and go into it with a open mind. Wish you all the best you will be very successful!
My ding a ling is NOT a typical Chuck Berry song and it is not a song I would recommend that anyone should listen to. Its total rubbish, not to mention sexist...
@@lorddaver5729 Lol, well you are certainly entitled to your opinion sir. But here's a fun fact. It was Chuck Berrys ONLY number one hit! And it's a very cute way of describing how a little boy discovered, his ummm... well you know, 😂😂😂😂
@@kimberlycaldwell3124 No. 1 doesn't mean it is musically worth a damn. Secondly, if you are trying to impress upon someone who's never heard a Chuck Berry number the reason he was such a huge influence on the world of rock n roll, there are far more appropriate songs, such as the studio versions of Johnny B Goode or Sweet Little Sixteen. My Ding A Ling, whatever else it might be, is NOT a rock n roll song. You may as well suggest to a Beatles "virgin" that they listen to "Yellow Submarine" as a serious example of what The Beatles were all about. Come on...
@@lorddaver5729 Like I said, that's a matter of opinion. I happen to like silly songs just a much as sad songs, happy songs, love songs, etc...music is about making one feel something. Silly songs make you feel good. They make you laugh. Ray Stevens, Wierd Al, and others made a killing off songs like that. Millions of people enjoy silly songs.
Way to go now I feel old...lol..Chuck Berry was the man we loved him growing up ! Other songs Lucille..my ding a ling, really funny song he has a whole bunch of great music. By the way I was born in 1962 and I love watching your channel....♡
Too many young people are locked into genres and that is sad. I listened to everything growing up! Bluegrass, country, old rock, new rock, Funk and R&B! I love it all!
I love the way you said 1958 lol that's the year I was born always follow your stepfather's advice he knows whats up we had great music back in the day
there were alot of men JELIOUS of ELVIS Presley but he never knocked anyone he believed that there were room enough for everybody that wanted to stand up a chase their dreams he believed we are all God children. Elvis never forgot where he came back a how he was raised to be kind to your fellowman a thank God for your blessings.
Chuck Berry is the REAL deal! Elvis was pretty with a beautiful voice but never wrote his own music; he was a great performance artist and that’s it. Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis; now those were rockers!
Elvis paved the way for Chuck Berry and everyone else so Elvis is the king of rock and roll. Chuck Berry was the original king of electric guitar though!!! Elvis and Chuck were friends!!! Check out Jerry Lee Lewis...Buddy Holiday...B.B. King...the list goes on and on!!! I hope you have a wonderful and blessed day my friend!!! 😊😊😊😊 🐧🐧
My oldest grandson says the same thing as you, that he was born in the wrong generation. He would rather listen to the oldies. I'm glad I was able to expand his taste in music. Myself I listened to everything I just hope I can do the same for my other 9 grandkids. Anyway like your video's and reaction's of all I've seen doing that,. Yours are the best.
Chuck is the real king, don't let anyone twist the facts this man is the original!
Yup, Chuck Berry was The King of Rock. This song was selected to be put on a golden record and placed aboard the Voyager Spacecraft. In a million years we may we may all be gone, but somewhere in the universe Chuck Berry will remain imprinted on cold, one the last remnants of humanity.
It’s funny...you’re discovering this music for the first time and most of us are reliving it. Such a joy to see you appreciate the older music.
The REAL King of Rock and Roll 🤩

Chuck Berry was a showman! I have no problem with Chuck being credited with being the original King of modern Rock & Roll. Elvis was great too.
By FAR.....THE ORIGINAL KING of ROCK & ROLL!!!!!
Chuck Berry really was the greatest he had lots of great hit songs as well as the songs that weren't hits were great as well he wrote almost all of the songs he played.

Everyone who anderstand Rock'n Roll music knows that Chuk Berry is the foundation of that music!
I was born in 1951 and was blessed to have grown up through all this type of wonderful music.
If it weren't for Chuck Berry the Rolling Stones would never have got started.
The balls he had! Chuck is the king of rock!
i was born in 1976 we were raised on his music my daddy loved him and so do we he melts my heart when i hear him i watch his lives all the time his last one i cried but he still rocked that guitar
Also from that time, check out Little Richard doing either Lucille or I hear you knocking.
Little Richard singing Long Tall Sally at the start of Predator as they fly into the jungle.
Oh sweetie, 1958 is a year after I graduated from HS! (yes, that makes me 79 years old :0 ) and I so enjoy your reactions! Seems like yesterday to me, but then that's my perspective, not yours.

you are super sweet. thank you for the kind words to this young man
Thank you, it is easy to appreciate his personality. The memories he shares and appreciate touch each of us in different ways depending on what experiences we attach to each song.
Berry was a HUGE influence on The Beatles, the best selling band in history.
Nailed it. Enough credit to go around to his contemporaries, but Chuck was the original real deal.
See Chuck in 1995, at the UNO Lake Front Arena, in New Orleans, and he was awesome and his playing set the amplifier on fire, he brought the house down. He was the founder, the chairman of the board the King Of Rock.
Chuck berry was way ahead of his time man. He was definitely the creator of rock. Without chuck berry there would no Angus from acdc
Chuck Berry paved the way for many great artists who came after him...both black and white.
He was like the Jackie Robinson of music.
Dude! Chuck Berry's Hail, Hail, Rock-n-Roll!!
Can't wait until a time machine is built. Glad you enjoyed Chuck Berry. So much fun.
Yes he was the real king of rock in my humble opinion.
Ask any of the band's in the ,60:s, 70's and they will always say Chuck Berry was their inspiration
I’ve always said if Elvis is the King of Rock and Roll, then Chuck is the GOD of Rock and Roll
Chuck Berry, a legend
The father of all guitar solos
You got it...this man was the original
Chuck Berry was so great, he has such enthusiasm, Awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chuck Berry was an incredible guitar player and incredible songwriter this man was genius through and through
Chuck is the real king og Rock'n Roll music!
We were jazzing back then baby! Rock and roll will never die!
Chuck brought the guitar to the forefront in rock....as it still stands today!

chuck berry era un fuoriclasse. THE BEST.
You were born in your own time. My teens love these songs. You will find happiness because I have been watching you for months. Not weird, had ankle surgery. Layed up
Chuck Berry was AWESOME!
You right. Both Elvis & Chuck Berry were pioneers of Rock & Roll!
now he just has to do Buddy Holly

Saw Chuck Berry in concert in the 70s. It was awesome.
You younger people need to start a revolution and bring back this kind of music and to hell what anybody thinks! :)
As a California long haired hippie with flowers in my hair i didn't like Elvis as a teen.But I do now. Yet even back in 1958 when I was 7 I loved Chuck Berry and esp.as a Louisiana native Johnny B Good! It has been so fun watching a sampling of your reactions of all types artist tonight. I subbed earlier for Tom MacDonald,but even if (Gof forbid) you gave upon Tom, I'll still be watching you,
Thank you for doing a video on this song!! Yes it's super old, but its one of my favourites. Especially for karaoke :)
A copy of this song is aboard the Voyager spacecraft which has now left our solar system so it could actually last for eternity. Now that's an honor.
if it wasn't called Rock and Roll it would be called Chuck Berry music
wow....watching your reactions to your videos I had the same thought....you were born a generation too late.....so much GREAT music came out of the 50's, 60's and 70's...R.I.P. Mr. Chuck Berry The Father of Rock and Roll
All of the old legends, are important to rock and roll. They all contributed so much. Little Richard, Elvis, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lewis, Buddy Holly, and more. They all gave so much to the music world, and all deserve the praise they receive.
When NASA sent the Voyager into space, they put a solid gold record on it with directions on how to listen to it. It had something like 50 languages saying Hello and music. CHUCK BERRY singing Johnnie be B. Goode was on that record. So I guess you could say that Chuck Berry is the best in the universe. Lol 😆
The very definition of Rock n Roll!
Deserves the title of High King.
I believe rock and roll had four fathers: Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Carl Perkins, and Buddy Holly. They all wrote great songs, they were all great performers, and they were truly originals - inventing a blend of gospel, blues, country, and folk.
In 1958 I was a 10 year old white boy living in a white neighborhood going to a white school. But me and my white friends would listen in on the music that our older brothers and sisters were starting to play on their radios and record players....and a whole new world opened up to me.....the world of rock and roll, the world of blacks, the world of music as a universal language. It was transforming for me, now having black music icons as well as white, and it would prepare me to be on the right side over the next several years as the Civil Rights movement started to end segregation. And you're right....it was an entire court of "Kings of Rock and Roll", all of them, black and white, influencing each other and borrowing from one another, whether it was music or gyrations. I don't think you can discount the African and Caribbean origin, though, to what evolved in to rock and roll. By the way, you said you felt like getting up to dance while you were listening....I did get up and start dancing while I was watching! And at 71 years old I think I still have some pretty good moves. On the other hand, no one was watching me. Hey, keep doing what you're doing. You do it very well!
We metalheads all know that black artist's where the OGs of rock and whe honour it. We all have there CDs 🤘
"The original King of Rock." The birth of Rock and Roll, bra.
Chuck Berry started in 1955, after Elvis started the year before. Chuck saw Elvis's very early shows, before the rest of the country knew of Elvis - and Chuck was very impressed. At some point that year, he gave up his day job and became the Chuck Berry we see on that film. But they were both great beyond great, and they both took their styles from both R&B and from Country music. Elvis was more into gospel music and spirituals, though.
Chuck Berry was awesome! And he was strictly rock and roll, not ballads or anything else. He was THE influence on surf music. The Beach Boys and all of those California surf groups, the sound was straight Chuck Berry. The Beatles also did a few of his songs. Oh, and clearly, Elvis's favorite Chuck Berry song was "Promised Land." In the 70s, Elvis would go to a Chuck Berry show and yell out "do "Promised Land"!" He finally recorded it himself and it was his last great record in his lifetime.
And then there was Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard . . . the whole first group of rock and roll hall of famers.
Don't stop exploring Elvis though! You haven't heard, I don't think, his gospel and spiritual songs! "Peace In The Valley": you gotta hear that! If nothing else, you gotta hear that. His gospel singing is something you should do a reaction video for. Elvis sang almost EVERY type of music. Whereas most of the other pioneers stuck with rock and roll.
This took me back my dad was a huge fan of Chuck Berry. Dad passed away in 2010. Love your channel, the reactions are cool and you really listen and go into it with a open mind. Wish you all the best you will be very successful!
You CANNOT ignore Chuck Berrys, "My Ding-a-ling". You HAVE to react to that! 😂
LOL
My ding a ling is NOT a typical Chuck Berry song and it is not a song I would recommend that anyone should listen to. Its total rubbish, not to mention sexist...
@@lorddaver5729 Lol, well you are certainly entitled to your opinion sir. But here's a fun fact. It was Chuck Berrys ONLY number one hit! And it's a very cute way of describing how a little boy discovered, his ummm... well you know, 😂😂😂😂
@@kimberlycaldwell3124 No. 1 doesn't mean it is musically worth a damn. Secondly, if you are trying to impress upon someone who's never heard a Chuck Berry number the reason he was such a huge influence on the world of rock n roll, there are far more appropriate songs, such as the studio versions of Johnny B Goode or Sweet Little Sixteen. My Ding A Ling, whatever else it might be, is NOT a rock n roll song. You may as well suggest to a Beatles "virgin" that they listen to "Yellow Submarine" as a serious example of what The Beatles were all about. Come on...
@@lorddaver5729 Like I said, that's a matter of opinion. I happen to like silly songs just a much as sad songs, happy songs, love songs, etc...music is about making one feel something. Silly songs make you feel good. They make you laugh. Ray Stevens, Wierd Al, and others made a killing off songs like that. Millions of people enjoy silly songs.
You're without any doubt definitely a 12 Bar man at heart my friend, great reaction!
chuck berry was the king of rock n roll guitar, he mad ehis gjitar sing

Mike Douglas TV Show, 1972
Loved the Mike Douglas Show! He brought on so much great talent.
Too many young people are locked into genres and that is sad. I listened to everything growing up! Bluegrass, country, old rock, new rock, Funk and R&B! I love it all!
Chuck Berry really is the best.
Chuck Berry is the king of the guitar
I wasn't born until 1977, but these oldies are timeless. You should check out Dion singing The Wanderer.
For me Chuck will always be the King of Rock 'n' Roll ! I was two years old when this was filmed. I saw him doing his thing in London in 1976.
That is the birth of rock and roll.
Lol I was born in 1958! Chuck Berry was ALWAYS great
Let's be honest. Chuck Berry was held back then because of his skin color. Pioneer.
I love the way you said 1958 lol that's the year I was born always follow your stepfather's advice he knows whats up we had great music back in the day
that's what you call rock n roll.
Im 11 and i love this type of music i agree with others this type of music should come back
That's right bro
I am 15 (soon 16 years) old from Bulgaria and....Hail Hail Rock'n'Roll
@Randy Rome I'm still listening!
@@nikolayyanev9148 Hope your birthday went well
Elvis is the true King Of Rock 'n' Roll.
This is what today's music is missing !
The original KING of Rock. If you don't know where your from how do you know where you're going or who you are
there were alot of men JELIOUS of ELVIS Presley but he never knocked anyone he believed that there were room enough for everybody that wanted to stand up a chase their dreams he believed we are all God children. Elvis never forgot where he came back a how he was raised to be kind to your fellowman a thank God for your blessings.
Chuck Berry is the REAL deal! Elvis was pretty with a beautiful voice but never wrote his own music; he was a great performance artist and that’s it. Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis; now those were rockers!
Everyone after Chuck was influenced by him. He set the trend for years to come.
Elvis paved the way for Chuck Berry and everyone else so Elvis is the king of rock and roll. Chuck Berry was the original king of electric guitar though!!! Elvis and Chuck were friends!!! Check out Jerry Lee Lewis...Buddy Holiday...B.B. King...the list goes on and on!!! I hope you have a wonderful and blessed day my friend!!! 😊😊😊😊 🐧🐧
It's impossible to sit still listening to this, lol! That was fun 😄
Beatles Queen and a lot of others loved chuck Berry
One of the Kings of Rock n Roll
Chuck berry, Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino - back when music was good. The golden age of music
My oldest grandson says the same thing as you, that he was born in the wrong generation. He would rather listen to the oldies. I'm glad I was able to expand his taste in music. Myself I listened to everything I just hope I can do the same for my other 9 grandkids. Anyway like your video's and reaction's of all I've seen doing that,. Yours are the best.
