Rock & Roll is recognized by the heavy back-beat, i.e., accent on beats 2 and 4. (1-2-3-4)

Wow! I know people who have been looking for the definition of rock & roll for ages. Exactly where did you find it?

Certainly one of the founding fathers of rock & roll. "Nadine, honey is that you?"

No, it's "Maybeline" and she can't be true.

Loved his "Wee Wee Hours". Great rock & roll song!

I don’t think Chuck Berry recorded a bad, or a groaner recording. There are a couple of his slower tunes which I give little play, such as “Drifting Heart”, Havana Moon”, “I’ve Changed”, and “Time Was”, but I like the slow bluesy ones such as, “Wee Wee Hours”, “You Two”, and “Have Mercy Judge”.

Trivia: CB recorded a tune on which he played an instrument other than his six string guitar.

Two part question: What was the instrument, and, what is the song title?

Stinkin', rotten, no good motor. ;D

Chuck Berry one of the Pioneers of Rock Roll, innovator ...reduced to a pathethic live show today, no energy, take the money and run. I've been burned at the last two CB concerts ..no more.

Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis old and decrepit.......still give 110%.

What's sad about Chuck Berry is that is great hits like "Sweet Little Sixteen, Johnny B Goode" etc, never got to #1.
Only "My Ding A Ling" achieved that stature. Sad IMO.

Even more incredible Fats Domino whose number of charted hits are second only to Elvis never had a #1. Those great Bartholomew lush arrangements and that great Nawlins' style...you could Jitterbug.....stroll.....do anything to Fats music.

That is incredible. I believe that Fats sold the 2nd or 3rd most amount of records in the 50s.
Obviously Elvis was first.

Well, since this is the Fantasy Programming thread, how about some dreamy tunes:

I Like Dreamin' - Kenny Nolan
Dreamin' ('til my dreamin' comes true) - Johnny Burnette

So nobody wants to touch the Chuck Berry trivia question, huh?

Well, that’s too bad, but there is still time left to enter.

First place prize: A fully loaded Cadillac Coup DeVille - a yellow convertible with a continental spare and wire chrome wheel; power steering, power brakes, powerful motor with a jet off-take; air conditioning, automatic heat, a full Murphy bed in the back seat; short-wave radio, TV and a phone (in case you need to talk to your baby when you’re riding alone), four carburetors and two straight exhausts (no matter what they cost), railroad air horns and a military spot … win the prize and that’s what you got.

Second place: A day pass to Berry Park at Wentzville and lunch at The Southern Air.

Third place: A broken down ragged Ford.

Trivia: CB recorded a tune on which he played an instrument other than his six string Gibson guitar.

Two part question: What was the instrument, and, what is the song title?

 

[radioman148]

I don't know the answer, but I'm anxious to find out.

 

[GridLeakBias]

I don't know the answer, but I'm anxious to find out.

Stay tuned, I have to run this like a Kasey Kasem Countdown.

Hint #1: It wasn’t a harmonica. The instrumental lead in “Sad Day, Long Night” is a harmonica, but no, it’s not CB.

Two part question: What was the instrument, and, what is the song title?

Roll Over Beethoven - Electric guitar, Double Bass, Drums
Rock and Roll Music - Electric guitar, Electric Bass, Drums, Piano and Saxophone

But that is according to Wikipaedia. Was it an open book quiz?

Sorry Silkie, not the answer I'm looking for. (Did Chuck actually play all these instruments on these recordings?)

But that is according to Wikipaedia. Was it an open book quiz?

This is open book, open internet, open mind (?)

The countdown continues, 9...8...

Hint #2: The original of the tune in question was first recorded under a different title name.

Okay, my shot in the dark here is "You Never Can Tell", from the movies; knowing the lyrics to "C'est la vie", and the music to said song, I have to go with "C'est la vie", and he played the piano.

You’ve got moxie, Silkie, but this answer is not the one I’m looking for either.

Hint #3: Chuck had to sit down to play the instrument in question.

7…6…
