Ladies and Gentleman: Mr. Chuck Berry! simply the best....a trailblazer.....the word "iconic" is used way too much nowadays, but truly he was iconic....there are many who have followed.....but none ever surpassed him

This is dated the way that Bach and Duke Ellington are dated. This is important music because it is classic. I love hearing it. |

I second that emotion! |

alot of people recorded this that were better guitar players than Chuck but most didn't bring the dynamics to the stage Chuck did , he opened for the Stones and put on a show that was flat amazing, Stones came on played several numbers and everybody started chanting Chuck Chuck Chuck, think they dropped him as opener after that

Okay 10 as a history lesson, 5 as a song.
Every guitarist in the world could play this when they were 5 years old.
Most were sick of it when they were 6.

But, didn't Keith Richards, in his movie about Berry, make the roundabout point that this must've been written by the piano player?

Who is the soulless freak who rated this a 1?  This is why there is a "10". |

Did anyone see him on Leno the other night? Or was it Letterman? He was still excellent!

I didn't know that Chuck covered this Grateful Dead song!  Ha ha ha. After all these decades, the genius of this song and the Chuck Berry sound continues to shine. |

In general I might say Planet 10 to such a question, but in this case you're right on. (Sorry folks. I know it was a weak troll, but I just couldn't help myself.  ) |
