Rock And Roll Music - Alternate Version

This song is about a guy who will only dance to rock and roll. It's one of several of Berry's songs where he expresses fealty to the genre, which he helped create. The distinctive guitar riff he came up with on the track influenced many subsequent rock tracks.

Said Berry: "I was heavy into rock and roll and had to create something that hit the spot without question."

The Beatles played this at their early concerts and recorded it on Chuck Berry's 38th birthday. It was one of their favorite songs to play live, and they used it when they needed an additional track for their album Beatles For Sale.
