I could stay busy just posting songs by Check Berry.
Chuck Berry helped launch hundreds if not thousands of bands inspired by his guitar playing and three-minute songs. Here’s a fun one that the Beatles used as their model for Back in the USSR.
That’s the imitable Johnnie Johnson banging the piano keys. Willie Dixon plays the bass. The background singers include Etta James and The Marquees, who counted a young Marvin Gaye among their members.
New York, Los Angeles, oh, how I yearned for you (uh-huh-huh, mm-huh)
Detroit, Chicago, Chattanooga, Baton Rouge (uh-huh-huh, mm-huh)
Let alone just to be at my home back in ol’ St. Lou’ (mm-huh, mm-huh)
Sending this out specially for my friend Caitlin Flynn, who just relocated back in the USA after living in Portugal.
