Go Johnny Go - Chuck Berry

Rock'N'Roll promoter Alan Freed holds a talent search to develop a new rock star, then must find the elusive, mystery contestant (Jimmy Clanton) who doesn't know he has won

-----------------------------

GO, JOHNNY, GO! 1959
U.S. film. Fantastic Alan Freed movie with a galaxy of 1950s rock and roll stars! Jimmy Clanton stars as "Johnnie Melody," an unwanted teenager from an orphanage who sends a demo record to disc jockey Alan Freed and rises to rock and roll fame! Along the way he meets a cool chick (Sandy Stewart), falls in love, and gets arrested by the cops! Chuck Berry has an acting roll and also performs some of his classics. Cool record store scene but the real treat is the 1950s rock and roll music: The Flamingoes: "Jump, Children." The Cadillacs: "Jay Walker," "Please, Mr. Johnson." Harvey: "Don't Be Afraid To Love Me." Jackie Wilson: "You Better Know It." Chuck Berry: "Johnny B. Goode," "Little Queenie," "Memphis, Tennessee." Eddie Cochran: "Teenage Heaven." Ritchie Valens: "Ooh My Head." Jo-Ann Campbell: "Momma, Can I Go Out." Jimmy Clanton: "My Love Is Strong," "It Takes A Long Time," "Ship On A Stormy Sea," "Angel Face." Sandy Stewart: "Playmates." "Heavenly Father." Jimmy Clanton and Sandy Stewart: "Once Again."

Alan Freed, Jimmy Clanton, Sandy Stewart, Chuck Berry, Jackie Wilson, Ritchie Valens, The Cadillacs, Jo-Ann Campbell, The Flamingos, Harvey Fuqua, Eddie Cochran, Jimmy Cavallo and the House Rockers, Herb Vigran, Frank Wilcox, Barbara Woodell, Milton Frome, Joe Cranston, Martha Wentworth, Robert Foulk, Joe Flynn. Go Johnny Go!

Some of you may consider no taste to like Elvis’s music, and probably ashamed to admit a fan of his. He may be no Slash, no Mozart, even no expert in musical notes. But how can we deny he was the man in R&R in early 70’s?

His voice and charms ruled.

One of the greatest natural voices of the century, in any style of music.

Elvis said it himself. "'The colored folks been singing it and playing it just like I'm doing now, man, for more years than I know,' Elvis told reporters in 1956. 'I got it from them. Down in Tupelo, Mississippi, I used to hear old Arthur Crudup bang his box the way I do now, and I said if I ever got to the place where I could feel all old Arthur felt, I'd be a music man like nobody ever saw.'" --Time Magazine

You know why Elvis is the king of Rock and Roll? Cause he's dead. If it was the other way around, Chuck would be glorified and Elvis would be whined about by people on the internet.

@OMGsuperTAG "chuck berry was the birth of rock and roll." No, rock and roll recordings like Earl King's "Funny Face," Bill Haley's "Rock Around The Clock," Jimmy Lewis's "Cherry Wine," Guitar Slim's "Guitar Slim," Pee Wee Crayton's "Do Unto Others," Johnny Watson's "Space Guitar," Jimmy Smith's "Rock That Boogie," the Jackson Brothers' "We're Gonna Rock This Joint," Kay Starr's "Oh Babe," Big Joe Turner's "Jumpin' At The Jubilee," and Roy Brown's "Boogie At Midnight" predate Chuck.

Everybody MR Chuck Berry.

@OMGsuperTAG yeah you are right but i like Elvis only because i had a huge crush on him. Thing is...Elvis was cool about admitting where he got his stuff from. It is the music bosses,book authors and university establishments along with media that have the idea that it is ok to steal these great musicians art. but i think everyone knows truth now.
