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!
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!
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
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.
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.
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!!!
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.
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
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 wouldâve had no chance of winning as our system was corrupt as hell. And Iâm 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 itâs 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. Thatâs why sometimes race has to be brought into it. Iâm not trying to be difficult or ill tempered just stating what I believe is true.
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'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.
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...đđŠ đ #FlyEaglesFly
This really made me smile.đTo see you discover the joys of Chuck Berryâs music, just great. You may know this by now but he was called âThe Father of RockânâRollâ. He wrote SO many incredible songs, a few of them covered by Elvis over the years. I agree with others whoâve suggested Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard, two MORE pioneers of the first rock era.
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. đđ
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, đđđđ
@@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.
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 aroundđ 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. Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction: www.rockhall.com/inductees/chuck-berry#keith-richards-inducts-chuck-berry-into-the-rock-hall-1986
Many of rock ânâ rollâs greatest guitarists list Chuck Berry as one of their influences. As do many other musicians.Keith Richards famously said he lifted all of Berryâs licks.John Lennon said: âIf you tried to give rock and roll another name, you might call it âChuck Berry.ââ
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
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,
That was recorded the year I was born.. There are a few of his songs on my play list. "Maybelline", "You never can tell", "Mean old world" and "No money down"..
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 CZcams 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.
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....âĄ
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 đ
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.
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
react to Buddy Holly he is another guy often credited as a Pioneer of Rock who had a big influence on guys like Chuck Berry and Elvis. Unfortunately Holly died at age 27 in the late 1950s in a Plane Crash. The crash also killed Richie Valens and "the Big Bopper" who asked to take Waylon Jennings' seat (who later became a HUGE Country Music Star). Buddy Holly was one of the most creative and original artists as the time but because of the plane crash we never got to see what his Music could have evolved into. Regardless he was ahead of the game and he influenced almost all the early Rock and Roll legends. Some of his classic hits "Oh Boy" , "Peggy Sue" or dozens of other top Hits from the 1950s.
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
I love your reaction to this. It's the first time I've seen this performance too by Chuck Berry and it's blown me away. It's futile trying to state who the overall King of Rock and Roll was because both Chuck and Elvis had their own individual and unique talents which have added so much to the music.
Your reaction was priceless! Freakin awesome yes it is. I was born in 58, I'm 60 years old.. let that sink in how old this is! But I'm not to old to still be rockin! â
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.
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.
As a wise man once said: "You can't know where you're goin', till you know where you been." I love watching young people react to older music. Trips through history can teach you not just about old music, but also where modern music comes from, how the techniques grew and developed. And you can learn about yourself, too. The things that move you, the things the music make you feel. Some of those are timeless. When you bop your head to "Johnny B. Goode", you're doing the same thing your great-great-grandfather did. These are pieces of who *everybody* is, deep down.
Oops! I hit my send button accidentally. Anyway, about Sister Rosetta - she was doing some great rock-n-roll guitar riffs 10 years before Chuck Berry. Check her out live in London in 1964 doing âDidnât It Rain â or another great one is âUp Above My Headâ. Thereâs a good video on CZcams of her guitar solos(for film) and a fantastic documentary about her life and career. She was very influential and way ahead of her time, yet many people have never heard of her. She was finally inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2017 or 2018 (I think). Keep up with your great reactions and know that this subscriber will be traveling with you on your musical journey.
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.
Itâs funny...youâre discovering this music for the first time and most of us are reliving it. Such a joy to see you appreciate the older music.

Dude! Chuck Berry's Hail, Hail, Rock-n-Roll!!
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.
The balls he had! Chuck is the king of rock!
We were jazzing back then baby! Rock and roll will never die!
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.
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.
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!

The crash also killed Richie Valens and "the Big Bopper" who asked to take Waylon Jennings' seat (who later became a HUGE Country Music Star). Buddy Holly was one of the most creative and original artists as the time but because of the plane crash we never got to see what his Music could have evolved into. Regardless he was ahead of the game and he influenced almost all the early Rock and Roll legends. Some of his classic hits "Oh Boy" , "Peggy Sue" or dozens of other top Hits from the 1950s.
Buddy Holly was only 22 when he died. Excellent choice for a reaction.
Holly was actually 22
Loving it! I was born in 1961 and Iâm loving everything youâre reacting to! Woot, woot!
Chuck is the real king og Rock'n Roll music!
Deserves the title of High King.
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 is the birth of rock and roll.
I grew up then and it was fabulous!
I love your reaction to this. It's the first time I've seen this performance too by Chuck Berry and it's blown me away. It's futile trying to state who the overall King of Rock and Roll was because both Chuck and Elvis had their own individual and unique talents which have added so much to the music.
Real authentic women; Sister Rosetta Tharpe!!!
You're the first person that I've seen mention Sr Rosetta!! Gotta share her with the WORLD !!
Check out some Etta James! Especially at last or I who have nothing.â€ïž
Bee Snort Yes, Etta James, At Last!
She was amazing !
You younger people need to start a revolution and bring back this kind of music and to hell what anybody thinks! :)
Lol I was born in 1958! Chuck Berry was ALWAYS great
To put it simply: No Chuck Berry No Rock and Roll.
I wasn't born until 1977, but these oldies are timeless. You should check out Dion singing The Wanderer.
Youâre thoughts spot onllll
Your reaction was priceless! Freakin awesome yes it is. I was born in 58, I'm 60 years old.. let that sink in how old this is! But I'm not to old to still be rockin! â
One of the Kings of Rock n Roll
chuck berry was the king of rock n roll guitar, he mad ehis gjitar sing
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 was called the Godfather of Rock.
Chuck Berry really is the best.
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.
You were around during Chuck Berry lifetime. He passed away just 2 years ago.
As a wise man once said: "You can't know where you're goin', till you know where you been." I love watching young people react to older music. Trips through history can teach you not just about old music, but also where modern music comes from, how the techniques grew and developed. And you can learn about yourself, too. The things that move you, the things the music make you feel. Some of those are timeless. When you bop your head to "Johnny B. Goode", you're doing the same thing your great-great-grandfather did. These are pieces of who *everybody* is, deep down.
I'm đČđœ and I say chuck isđ .!
love your reactions
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
Oops! I hit my send button accidentally. Anyway, about Sister Rosetta - she was doing some great rock-n-roll guitar riffs 10 years before Chuck Berry. Check her out live in London in 1964 doing âDidnât It Rain â or another great one is âUp Above My Headâ. Thereâs a good video on CZcams of her guitar solos(for film) and a fantastic documentary about her life and career. She was very influential and way ahead of her time, yet many people have never heard of her. She was finally inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2017 or 2018 (I think). Keep up with your great reactions and know that this subscriber will be traveling with you on your musical journey.
