YOU guys Should do a reaction to Bill Healy and His Comets; for Rock around the Clock. You'll see alot of people dancing to his music. Rock around the Clock was the Theam song for "Happy Days".
As a white boy from country Australia... this is the brother that made me pick up a guitar. What a legend, always loved and massively influential beyond people's dreams.
Chuck's expression says it all...he was completely content and happy doing his thing and it rubs off on people. That's the part of music that is contagious and makes someone famous.
A true legend, The Godfather of Rock N Roll !!! If you want to see the kind of respect Chuck had check out the live video of Chuck and Bruce Springsteen at the Rock N Roll hall of fame concert. Bruce was in complete awe of being on the same stage.
Son, you are 100% right about Chuck's performance. Y'all keep our heritage alive - Chuck duck-walked Black guitarists right on into the history books. Nobody could do what he did then or today!
A pure entertainer and musician!!! He's influenced so many musicians, you might as well quit counting. I got to meet him once on a flight from LA to STL. His "My Dingaling" from later in his career is hilarious, especially if you watch the live version where he gets the whole crowd in on the fun.
Considering he's the father of rock and roll and influenced EVERYONE we consider legends today it's amazing. If I didn't know I'd have assumed he'd of had loads of them
You gotta get a Chuck Berry greatest hits cd. There is nothing Chuck Berry can do bad and no one can even try to sound like Chuck Berry. Every time I hear him, it makes me cry. He is so good and it takes me back to my childhood and nobody I mean nobody can keep their feet still listening to Chuck Berry. He is the pride of America.
Proud to say I live near where Little Richard was born in Macon Georgia which is also home of the Allman Brothers {The Big House museum} who made southern rock famous & all the greats like Molly Hatchet, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Charlie Daniels, Marshall Tucker, Elvin Bishop, Wet Willie, Dilbert McClinton & many others recorded a lot of their albums at Capricorn Studios
The very first poet laureate of rock as well as being the single most influential guitarist on the British invasion guys. He was the greatest, hands down.
@@chicochi3 I know who the mother of R&R is --Sister Rosetta Tharpe. You can tell where Chuck got his guitar skills from. I don't know who the father of R&R is. But Berry is too late on the timeline to qualify.
Great song I remember doing like an almost swing dance to this song, it really gets you moving, even now I'm in my chair moving my legs, my arms are going, ty I needed motivation today.
If you want to know how blues turned into rock, then the first names anyone needs to see are Big Mama Thornton, Chuck Berry, and Little Richard, and then Jerry Lee Lewis. Without those names, we wouldn't have rock. All the big names that were pioneers of the genre - Elvis, the Everly brothers, Buddy Holly - they followed the lead of those four. It's no coincidence that several of the Beatles' first songs were Chuck berry covers.
He still lived in the St Louis area before he passed. He'd go to the different casinos and performed at them quite often as well as Blueberry Hill in the Loop in St Louis. There's the Duck Room where he would perform there (pretty much named after the Duck Walk that he'd always do). I met him at the one I worked at, but never went to one of his concerts there. When he was there, we couldn't bother him (which is understandable), but did get to talk to him numerous times when he was there.
How wonderful to see you and your brothers digging to some of the greatest music of all time. Too often forgotten are the great artists Gene Vincent and Eddie Cochran. Gene had a big hit with Be-Bop-a- Lula (the first record Paul McCartney ever bought) and Eddie had big hits with Summertime Blues and Somethin' Else. I know there are some great videos on youtube of these classics. Thanks, Jamel!
chuck berry was the man who turned r&r into teenage americana: highschool, cars and drive ins. with songs like "maybelene," "sweet little 16," "back in the usa," "30 days," "roll over beethoven," "you can't catch me," "little queenie" and "school days" his music celebrated american teenage life in the 50s. he also helped bring the guitar into the forefront of r&r while the sax and the piano were used most often as the go to instruments. he predated elvis and little richard by about a year. the beatles and the british invasion revived his career and in the 60s he was still writing r&r classics like "let it rock," "you never can tell," "no particular place to go" and "the promised land" which he wrote while in prison. the odd, and sad thing is his only number one hit was a crude novelty song from the early 70s called "my ding-a-ling." berry songs also made great covers for other artists. the beatles "roll over beethoven," dave edmunds' "the promised land" and linda rondstadt's "back in the usa" are just 3 great examples.
The Belgian TV show dates from 1965, not 1958. That doesn't detract from this man's utter brilliance in any way. I was lucky to see him in the UK 3 times on that European tour. The greatest solo performer I've ever seen.
Chuck Berry is the original guitar hero. Angus Young says he inspired him and that's why Angus does his duck walk while playing in homage to Chuck Berry.
The crowds on the TV performances back then were told to sit still for some reason. Maybe they didn't want the viewers to think they had the Rock n Roll devil in them.😀
In 1977, NASA launched two spacecraft - Voyager 1 and 2 - to explore Jupiter, Saturn and FAR, FAR BEYOND. Each carried a 12-inch gold plated record that contained music, sounds and images picked to represent the great diversity of life on Earth. The idea was maybe one day extraterrestrial life far away would stumble on the records and learn something from us. Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode'" was embedded with the likes of: Beethoven's; Fifth Symphony; Stravinsky's' Rite of Spring; and Bach's, Brandenburg Concerto No. 2. No other rocker made the cut (not the Beatles, not Elvis, not the Stones, not Hendrix, Joplin, or Morrison). This song is literally "far out" among the stars. Now that's immortality. Who knows, maybe a billion years from now some alien being will be tapping their tentacle to Johnny B. Goode?
Jamal, check out Chuck Berry, playing Johnny B Good with Bruce Springsteen in 1995, at the rock and roll hall of fame concert, Chuck still had his moves down.
Hey Jamal. This is Ted Walli. Love your show man. Oldschool all day!! Was thinking of a group for you to check out, Canned Heat. Maybe watch 1969 Woodstock Boogie full version video on CZcams. Another good one is Rollin And Tumbling from Monterey Pop Festival 1967. I think you’ll dig it.
If Elvis is the King, Berry is the Emperor because he was an infinitely better guitarist. When Berry performed JBG with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, the Boss was so busy fanboying that he almost forgot to play.
Wait what? There's a Wu Tang documentary? WHERE!! Must. Watch. EDIT: Wu-Tang Cla: Of Mics and Men ... I assume that's it, yes? Or is it Wu-Tang: An American Saga Regardless, I'll just watch both. :D Thanks for the heads-up on that.
Jamel, you should check out Chuck Berry with John Lennon (and Yoko Ono!) singing "Memphis Tennessee" and "Johnny B Goode". czcams.com/video/ZbGuxGGOIV0/video.html Chuck Berry was one of John Lennon's idols.
he was f***ed by *sshole promoters & organizers. Made him bitter. He fought back with his music. Picasso, one of the greatest artists was also a bad person. Who is perfect? Definitely not artists. John Lennon to name one.

This television show was in my country (Belgium) - The real King of R&R. His attitude alone kills it!
The studio was in Waterloo, where I lived in the 1970s. It’s a pretty conservative place.

This was a great time to grow up and watch music watching history being made. I was only child when this song came out but I remember it well.
A legend whose music is on board Voyager traveling out of our galaxy, forever Mr. Berry !!
A pure entertainer and musician!!! He's influenced so many musicians, you might as well quit counting. I got to meet him once on a flight from LA to STL. His "My Dingaling" from later in his career is hilarious, especially if you watch the live version where he gets the whole crowd in on the fun.
Amazingly my Ding A Ling was his only number 1

"There is nothing Chuck Berry can do bad" - when it comes to music, you're right. In his personal life though, he was a bad boy!
@@jamesdignanmusic2765 But some things he was jailed for are no longer illegal.
Chuck Berry and Little Richard are the true KINGS of rock and roll. Long live rock.
Proud to say I live near where Little Richard was born in Macon Georgia which is also home of the Allman Brothers {The Big House museum} who made southern rock famous & all the greats like Molly Hatchet, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Charlie Daniels, Marshall Tucker, Elvin Bishop, Wet Willie, Dilbert McClinton & many others recorded a lot of their albums at Capricorn Studios
I don't think there's ever been a better song than this.
You should know that Angus Young mimicked his on stage moves based on Chuck Berry.
Angus Young calls him his rock and roll god.
The very first poet laureate of rock as well as being the single most influential guitarist on the British invasion guys. He was the greatest, hands down.
Great to see the brothers together, bonding with the magic that was Chuck Berry
Seeing you three rockin out together makes me feel good too and now I am up and dancing around!
My Grandmother and crazy Aunt B were this generation. We used to have wild parties to Chuck Berry when they were in their 70's.
Being able to make the guitar do it all..... that's a gift from God!
Chuck berry is the father of rock and roll 🎸
Nope. Not even close.

@@timcarr6401 Chuck Berry is considered to be the father of rock and roll.
@@chicochi3 A pioneer; but not the father. Fats Domino was doing R&R long before Berry. It was just known as R&B back then or "Race Music."
Chuck Berry and Johnnie Johnson, Two of the best ever on Guitar and Piano!!!
He's the man right there, he was the founder of Rock & Roll..
You 3 are fantastic! So great. A great performance of a wonderful song too.
chuck berry for me is the king of rock n roll and all the riffs in johnny be goode is the foundation for 1000s of songs its icionic
Funny, I’m watching this on my dads 83rd birthday and Chuck was one of his favorites. My dad being a Japanese guy from Hawaii.
Great song I remember doing like an almost swing dance to this song, it really gets you moving, even now I'm in my chair moving my legs, my arms are going, ty I needed motivation today.
My father got to see Chuck Berry, Little Richard, & Jerry Lee Lewis all on the same bill as a teen in the 60's. He said it was an absolute rush.
Chuck lived to age 90, and recorded an album of new material shortly before he passed.
Still performed in Saint Louis almost to the day his venue changed permanently.

One of the all-time classics! So good to see you guys enjoying it!
One of the kings of rock n roll.
Chuck Berry always produced fine, clean entertainment. Classic.
True legend in every way❤🎶Johnny B Good was the first song played in Space, and recorded with other songs in space too❤️🎶
you couldn't get much cooler than Chuck Berry back then.
And now still.
The true King of Rock n Roll!

As far as I'm concerned Chuck Berry is the father of Rock and Roll.
👍😎 Chuck Berry and Little Richard, are the KINGS of Rock and Roll. Elvis was a great hired singer.
The Belgian TV show dates from 1965, not 1958. That doesn't detract from this man's utter brilliance in any way. I was lucky to see him in the UK 3 times on that European tour. The greatest solo performer I've ever seen.
As soon as this song comes on, you gotta move. ❤❤❤❤
And no matter how I'm feeling -- good or bad -- when I hear Chuck Berry I immediately start moving and feel good.

The beginning of Rock n Roll music is credited to Chuck, Buddy Holly and Little Richard.

Man, Marty mcfly playing this tune made a million rockers!
We used to sing Chuck Berry songs with my mom and dad. My Ding a Ling was always my favorite.
Chuck Berry, he Be GREAT.
R&R and general musical Titan. Thanks for this. Hope you, your brothers and families are doing well.
Jamal, check out Chuck Berry, playing Johnny B Good with Bruce Springsteen in 1995, at the rock and roll hall of fame concert, Chuck still had his moves down.
Thanks for the recommendation.
Chuck Berry was generous in promoting others artists.
OUTRAGEOUS 😮that’s pretty dam exciting, wild man !
Hey Jamal. This is Ted Walli. Love your show man. Oldschool all day!! Was thinking of a group for you to check out, Canned Heat. Maybe watch 1969 Woodstock Boogie full version video on CZcams. Another good one is Rollin And Tumbling from Monterey Pop Festival 1967. I think you’ll dig it.
Love it. Try this one please. (Chuck Berry, Linda Ronstadt & Keith Richards Back In The Usa St Louis 1987)
1 Saw that doc on WuTang recently myself.Good to see all the brothers ,howdy. 🥰
And my goodness, how many artists have been influenced by this man, and say they picked up a guitar because of seeing him as a kid ...
You mentioned his split move but he was famous for his "duck walk" that he didn't do in this clip.
Went to hear Johnny Johnson, Chuck’s piano player. He was incredible and an important part of the band. Listen to the piano in this song!
Chuck Berry most influential.
Antonio Fargas better known as huggy bear from starsky and hutch, 70's TV show!
A prominent song in the movie "Back To The Future" LOL!!
One brotherhood
I though Just Leon played David Ruffin.
You ain’t no Temptation no more!! Best line of the movie.
Legend!
The original and a classic for sure, but be sure to also check out Peter Tosh’s cover of this.
In those days any participation from the audience was frowned upon and not allowed. Modern performers have retrained us.
Chuck Berry and Budweiser, the greatest treasures St. Louis ever produced.
Just can’t beat the basics!!
Gotta listen to men at work's version of this song "be good, Johnny".
If Elvis is the King, Berry is the Emperor because he was an infinitely better guitarist. When Berry performed JBG with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, the Boss was so busy fanboying that he almost forgot to play.
Oh you gotta treat yourselves to Jimi Hendrix doing his version.Its on youtube.Jimi plays Berkeley album
I love Chuck Berry's Johnny B Goode, but I also love JudasPriest's metalized version/cover.
Thank God for Marty McFly.
and cousin Marvin...
People don't understand...they would arrest you for some of those moves he was doing 😂. Rockstar
U have to understand . This stuff was new. They'd never seen nothing like this.
Wait what? There's a Wu Tang documentary? WHERE!!
Must.
Watch.
EDIT: Wu-Tang Cla: Of Mics and Men ... I assume that's it, yes?
Or is it Wu-Tang: An American Saga
Regardless, I'll just watch both. :D Thanks for the heads-up on that.
Him and Jerry Lee Lewis really rocked....
Check out Larry Collins doing Ramrod 1957.
The piano player is playing jazz chords
Please react to Jerry Lee Lewis. Anything live he was on the same level of Elvis
✌✌💛💛✌💛
Tune mate
Chuck Berry tuning
He had his unique sound. He wasn't try to be Bill Haley
Are you ready for Judas Priest 's version? No no you are not!
Please react to the short video of “Brian Johnson of AC/DC asks Chuck Berry for an autograph “super funny and unexpected 😂
Can I get a kiss too Brian?
Absolutely. Where?
I was rollin'
Chuck Berry was the King of Rock and Roll... not elvis... The Chucker created the sound of Rock and Roll...
He had another one where he skipped on one leg....
look up to the ones below=humble.... be safe ... HAKAD
Did you say 1958? I was one year old

Not a good human. But he wrote catchy songs for the young. His guitar playing was superior to his singing. He used to be called The Black Hillbilly.
