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 …

Rock ‘N’ Roll Is Here To Stay
http://www.youtube.com/user/sirfabiansierra
Del grupo Danny and The Juniors…
Gran video que me da cuenta cuan original se era en aquellos tiempo, es impactante como se paran de sus asientos y chasquean sus dedos al compas de la cancion
Aparece en la pelicula Grease pero ahi es cantada por otro grupo…
Aqui la letra:
Rock ‘n roll is here to stay, it will never die
It was meant to be that way, though I don’t know why
I don’t care what people say, rock ‘n roll is here to stay
(We don’t care what people say, rock ‘n roll is here to stay)
Rock ‘n roll will always be our ticket to the end
It will go down in history, just you wait, my friend
Rock ‘n roll will always be, it’ll go down in history
(Rock ‘n roll will always be, it’ll go down in history)
So come on, everybody rock, everybody rock,
everybody rock, everybody rock
Everybody rock
Now everybody rock ‘n roll, everybody rock ‘n roll,
everybody rock ‘n roll
Everybody rock ‘n roll, everybody rock ‘n roll
Rock ‘n roll will always be our ticket to the end
It will go down in history, just you wait, my friend
Rock ‘n roll will always be, it’ll go down in history
If you don’t like rock ‘n roll, think what you’ve been missin’
But if you like to bop and strawl, come on down and listen
Let’s all start to have a ball, everybody rock ‘n roll
Ah, oh baby, ah, oh baby, ah,
oh baby, ah, oh baby, rock!
