"ROCK AND ROLL MUSIC" CHUCK BERRY (1957)

This is one of rock’s legendary pioneers. Without Chuck Berry, who knows where we’d be. You can’t go wrong with any of his songs playing on your mental jukebox, but today I’ll go with “Rock and Roll Music”. A simple, melodic hook. Eruptive electric guitar playing. Berry’s signature rhyme delivery. And a heavy dose of old time rock and roll nostalgia.

“Just let me hear some of that rock and roll music. Any old way you choose it. It's got a back beat, you can't lose it. Any old time you use it. It's gotta be rock and roll music. If you want to dance with me.”
