Chuck Berry – Rock and Roll Music
Of all the early breakthrough rock & roll artists, none is more important to the development of the music than Chuck Berry. He is its greatest songwriter, the main shaper of its instrumental voice, one of its greatest guitarists, and one of its greatest performers. Quite simply, without him there would be no Beatles, Rolling Stones, Beach Boys, Bob Dylan, nor a myriad others. There would be no standard “Chuck Berry guitar intro,” the instrument’s clarion call to get the joint rockin’ in any setting. The clippety-clop rhythms of rockabilly would not have been mainstreamed into the now standard 4/4 rock & roll beat. There would be no obsessive wordplay by modern-day tunesmiths; in fact, the whole history (and artistic level) of rock & roll songwriting would have been much poorer without him. Like Brian Wilson said, he wrote “all of the great songs and came up with all the rock & roll beats.” Those who do not claim him as a seminal influence or profess a liking for his music and showmanship show their ignorance of rock’s development as well as his place as the music’s first great creator. Elvis may have fueled rock & roll’s imagery, but Chuck Berry was its heartbeat and original mindset.

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,
if you want to dance with me.
I’ve got no kick againt modern jazz,
unless they try to play it too darn fast;
and change the beauty of the melody,
until they sounded like a symphony,
that’s why i go for that
rock and roll music …
I took my loved one over cross the tracks
so she can hear my man await a sax,
i must admit the have a rockin’ band,
man they were going like a hurricane
that’s why i go for that
rock and roll music …..
Way down south they gave a jubilee,
the jockey folks they had a jamboree,
they’re drinkin’ homebrew from a water cup,
the folks dancin’ they all got shook up
and started playin’ that
rock and roll music ….
Don’t care to hear ‘em play a tango,
i’m in the mood to dig a mambo;
it’s way to early for a congo,
so keep a rockin’ that piano
so i can hear some of that
rock and roll music …

Great Rockabilly / 50’s Rock and Roll – Slim Rhodes
Take and Give.. Sandy Brooks is singing lead. Slim Rhodes is doing the great, catchy guitar work. I think this has cross appeal to the 50’s Rock and Roll fans and rock fans in general. Very easily likable tune.

The Beatles – Rock and Roll Music (live in japan)
Valdy – Rock And Roll Song
Issued in Canada October 1972 on Haida 101. From the LP “Country Man” on Haida HL-5101. Produced by Claire Lawrence (of Chilliwack).
Valdy (Valdemar Horsdal) is a Canadian music legend. He is first and foremost a folk singer, and has built a solid, worldwide following over the years with his intimate, gentle songs. One of his experiences, being booed at an early concert where he was mis-booked with loud rock bands, led to this record, which is pretty much his only “rock and roll song.” A&M Records took him to Los Angeles to make his first album, on which the great Jim Gordon plays drums. He recut this song at one point, and for quite awhile, that was the only version that got any airplay. This is the original version that you remember.
Valdy has won two Juno awards and seven further nominations, and amassed sales of a half-million records to date. He is still performing.
Elsewhere on Youtube, there is an absolutely charming clip of him performing this song solo in an instructional video. Go look it up!
