Top five songs of....... Chuck Berry

Henry IrvingHenry Irving
edited October 2008 in Not Sports Related
First poet of Rock and Roll and the writer of the song chosen to represent the Human race in space.

5. Promised Land although prefer the Johnnie Allen version

4. Maybellene "The rain water blowin all under my hood, I knew that was doin my motor good."

3. Brown Eyed Handsome Man - always wondered if brown eyed was a euphemism of brown skinned.

2. Johnny B Goode - inspired a generation of guitar players

1. Back in the USA

    5 Chuck Berry songs? I thought there was only one, he just sings different words to the same tune.

    I got hold of The Best of Chuck Berry not so long ago as I love 'Johnny B Goode'

    Can't say any of the other songs really do it for me although 'Maybelline' is quite good.

    Top 5 of The Velvet Underground may be OK but I'd forget the others Henry.

    Didn't he do "Too much monkey business" too? Wee wee hours is good too.

    Inspired me to play when discovering some of the old greats. What name did he write under? Didn't he write other stuff too or am I think of someone else - don't have the CD case handy.

    Didn't he get done for having cameras in the Ladies in his night club??

    :D

    Ok just found this as a guide.
