i like this version better Rolling Stones stfu if u have respect for anyone give it to Chuck Berry

[0coincidences]

@alienhowitzer54 respect is to be given to who one wants... not who you want. and the way you go about asking for respect is not too respectful on its own.

here's a bit of trivia that might interest a few trivial people like myself Remember "Emergency" the TV show of the 70s taking place in L.A. with EMS workers and Doctors and nurses in the Emergency room Julie London the singer was the nurse and Bobby Troup the grey haired doctor The show was forgetable in the extreme but Bobby Troup wrote "Route 66" which went on to be recorded by many from Chuck to the Rolling Stones TRUE THAT!!!

@elamite66 never knew bobby troup and julie london were in emergency... i barely remember the show from my childhood. that was a nice little bit of info... thanks! :)

@0coincidences I barely remembered it myself I was busy in my spare time playing music (on records) but my brother was a TV addict and so I saw it once in a while Funny how things work out

[0coincidences]

@elamite66 i was quite a bit of an addict myself but have stopped watching cable 6 years ago. altho i faintly remember my parents watching reruns of the show when i was quite young... i was born in the early 80's. a faint memory of the show is still intact but never would have thought to check it out. hehe

@0coincidences

All that said, The Rolling Stones are Romantic Junkies.

Chuck Berry is my fave cover followed by Nat King Cole and Bobby Troupe.

[chuto2]

Best cover was made by Martin L Gore in depeche mode haha very fun..

@0coincidences NO , respect is acquired , not given , and it comes to who deserves it ;)

[allaboard70]

Chuck Berry recorded the first rock version and it was this recording the Rolling Stones members had to listen to in England in the early 1960's. I like Nat King Cole, Chuck Berry and the Rolling Stones, they are all great performers.

@alienhowitzer54 Well, maybe you should recognize that Nat King Cole did this much before John Mayer, the Rolling Stones, or Chuck Berry so maybe he deserves some of the credit for popularizing this song and giving it life. He has a great jazz version of it and you can really hear how many things all three of these artist borrowed from Nat King Cole. Personally I like all of their versions in their own way though I'm always a little partial to jazz :P

Amazing the Father of Rock.

in my opinion the Stone's cover was better but you got to give most credit to Chuck for writing the song :)
