Moving beyond the myth of the Duckwalk and ronka-ronka, dealing with rock ‘n’ roll’s prickly pioneer
Great article! His guitar playing and showmanship were about equal and then he would get the crowd going with “My Dingaling”.
That "My Dingaling" is Chuck Berry's only Number One is an epic headscratcher! Goes to show you where mass America's collective mind is at!
😎 as a guitarist wanted so bad to have my Tele sound like him on Johnny B Goode, but taking a date to his concert when you are 18 … well.
LOL! Ya need a hollowbody Gibson and cranked Fender tube amp for THAT tone!
Excellent! Your writing rocks hard, as always, Tim.
Thanks, Jesse. Probably better than my guitar playing!
Enjoyed this a lot. No question that Smith’s book is the definitive take on Berry and his life. Can’t recommend it enough for his deep dive into the great showman’s complications and legacy.
Amen, Glenn!
