Chuck Berry - Johnny B. Goode 1958

"Johnny B. Goode" is a song by American musician Chuck Berry, written and sung by Berry in 1958. It peaked at number two on the Hot R&B Sides chart and number eight on its pre-Hot 100 chart. The song remains a staple of early and later rock music. "Johnny B. Goode" is considered one of the most recognizable songs in the history of popular music. Credited as "the first rock & roll hit about rock & roll stardom", it has been covered by various other artists and has received several honors and accolades. This includes being one of the 27 songs on the Voyager Golden Record, a collection of music, images, and sounds designed to serve as a record of humanity, that is travelling into deep space outside the solar system.

Berry acknowledged that the song is partly autobiographical and that the original lyrics referred to Johnny as a "colored boy", but he changed it to "country boy" to ensure radio play. As well as suggesting that the guitar player is good, the title hints at autobiographic elements, because Berry was born at 2520 Goode Avenue, in St. Louis. The song was initially inspired by Johnnie Johnson, the regular piano player in Berry's band, but developed into a song mainly about Berry himself. The opening guitar riff of "Johnny B. Goode" borrows from the opening single-note solo on Louis Jordan's "Ain't That Just Like a Woman" (1946), played by guitarist Carl Hogan. "Johnny B. Goode" received 86% total yes votes! The other 14% are just not ready for it yet…but their kids are gonna love it.

Disclaimer:

This is part of a series of polls I want to make. This set of musicians are those who were making rock music prior to the late 1970s/1980s, (That is why artists like Prince and Tina Turner are not featured on here). As well as this not including subgenres of rock like punk, metal, funk rock and so forth.

I also just wanted to make this so I could probably get some suggestions on BLACK musicians that made rock music. It's not a contest, I just want to see which musicians some people like and for this to be a way for people to discover them.

Other Polls:

Punk

Metal

Randomly selected musicians in rock
