.....everything that is RocknRoll is encompassed in this performance. Chuck Berry engages his audience in a charming, old school style, & plays it like a virtuoso. This is celebratory with a capital F for fun. His sly wit, lyrically & on his guitar is a delightful marvel & wonder.All Hail The King!!

Chuck Berry, The One True King Of Rock & Roll, may have done more to connect the dots linking the emerging "rocknroll" music to both teenage concerns.......Girls & cars. His catalog bristles with great car songs. Arguably, the success of such hits as Maybelline, No Particular Place To Go, & others, was the inspiration to a veritable slew of Hot Rod Songs. (many of which were blatant rewrites ...

..........I have said it here before & I'm sure I'll say it again....Chuck Berry is the King Of Rock & Roll. There really aren't any close contenders. Elvis? Please! Get away from me with that. Chuck Berry just wipes up the floor with the guy. For cryin out loud, make a list of bands that hasn't recorded a Chuck Berry song. The man was the first self-contained, guitar god singer song...

Yes, I'll stand by my assertion that"Chuck Berry Is Rock's Poet Laureate":http://mog.com/blog_post/view/138469#comment-524215 and I offer this little number as further evidence.**You Never Can Tell** again finds C. B. at his playful best, toying with the language(s)in such an easy, relaxed yet masterfull way. You won't find any stilted 'Paul Simonisms' in Chuck's works.

I'm sick of people calling Elvis Presley the king of rock an roll. NO WAY IN HELL.The true KING is CHUCK BERRY. Always was, always will be.Elvis's Sun singles are not bad, but how far removed from a minstrel show WAS his schtick? I mean really, all he did was ape any number of performers on the chitlin circuit! HE BROUGHT NOTHING ORIGINAL TO THE MUSIC. Most of the songs he recorded were ...
