b/w BLUE FEELING

Rock & Roll Music

Just let me hear some of that
Rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it;
Its got a back beat, you cant lose it,
Any old time you use it.
Its gotta be rock and roll music
If you want to dance with me,
If you want to dance with me.

Ive got no kick againt modern jazz,
Unless they try to play it too darn fast;
And change the music of the melody,
Until they sounded like a symphony,
Thats why I go for that
Rock and roll music ...

I took my loved one over cross the tracks
So she can hear my man a wail a sax,
I must admit the have a rockin band,
Man they were going like a hurricane
Thats why I go for that
Rock and roll music .....

Way down south they gave a jubilee,
The jockey folks they had a jamboree,
Theyre drinkin homebrew from a water cup,
The folks dancin they all got shook up
And started playin that
Rock and roll music ....

Dont care to hear em play a tango,
Im in the mood to dig a mambo;
Its way to early for a congo,
So keep a rockin that piano
So I can hear some of that
Rock and roll music .

Charles Edward "Chuck" Berry (born October 18, 1926 in St. Louis, Missouri) is an American guitarist, singer and songwriter.

Chuck Berry is a supremely influential figure and one of the pioneers of rock and roll music. According to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's website, "While no individual can be said to have invented rock and roll, Chuck Berry comes the closest of any single figure to being the one who put all the essential pieces together." Cub Koda wrote, "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, possessing the clearest diction, and one of its greatest performers." John Lennon was more succinct: "If you tried to give rock and roll another name, you might call it 'Chuck Berry'."

Berry was among the first musicians to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on its opening in 1986. He received Kennedy Center Honors in 2000 in a "class" with Mikhail Baryshnikov, Plácido Domingo, Angela Lansbury, and Clint Eastwood. In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked Chuck Berry #5 on their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time, being the 3rd individual singer behind Dylan and Elvis.  He was also ranked 6th on Rolling Stone's 100 greatest guitarists of All Time.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame included three of Chuck Berry's songs ("Johnny B. Goode", "Maybellene", "Rock and Roll Music"), of the 500 songs that shaped Rock and Roll.

"Rock and Roll Music" is a song written and originally recorded by Chuck Berry which became a hit single in 1957, reaching #8 in the U.S. chart, and was later covered by many artists, notably The Beatles and The Beach Boys.

The lyrics of the song extoll the virtues of rock and roll in comparison to other musical styles, and express the singer's resolve to dance only to this style of music.

The song has subsequently been recorded by a number of other well-known artists, including Humble Pie, Manic Street Preachers, Bill Haley & His Comets, REO Speedwagon, Tenpole Tudor and Australian new wave band Mental As Anything.

Berry's version is ranked number 128 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
