A couple of corrections | Reviewer: Bruce
    ------ About the song Nadine performed by Chuck Berry

Hi, thank you very much for your lyrics to Nadine. I've been singing it for years, but our band left it for a few years, and I forgot a few of the words, so I looked yours up first. I've sung it by memory from the original, and from my account, the original in the chorus was close to your alternate line, "Seems like every time I catch up with you, you're up to somethin' new".(not "into somethin' new").

The only other thing that seems slightly different is that on the original, Chuck sings, "Go driver, go-go, catch her if you please", just a little different than your mostly accurate rendition. Thanks, B.C.

    ------ About the song Talking About My Buddy performed by Chuck Berry

All the hyperbole about Chuck Berry is true; I was looking at his lyrics because I love poetry, and consider him a great poet, so evocative in his story-telling. Just think of the line from Memphis of "hurry home drops on her cheek that trickled from her eyes." and think, how could a normal person frame that image so succinctly. Then of course there is his brilliant stagecraft and innovative guitar playing that so many have copied and made a fortune doing so. So I stumbled on this lyric, and here Chuck seems to have departed from the short concise format to lay his heart out in clear verse at the level of Bob Dylan at his best. Thanks for everything you have given the world Chuck, and I hope you feel you have received back fairly in return, particularly now that racism is not eclipsing your genius as much as it did when you started.

    ------ About the song Little Queenie performed by Chuck Berry

These people that played with chuck were really wonderful playing their instuments along side him.They knew how to play good music,and chuck knew how to write good songs.It wasn't no bad music calling women bitches and whores.People don't make good music like this anymore,and it's a shame.

    ------ About the song Memphis performed by Chuck Berry

Known for his guitar licks, it's sad that more people don't pay attention to the wonderful composition of the lyrics. You can "see" what's going on in the song due to the simple yet excellent discriptions. Don't forget about the big "TWIST" at the end. The entire song leads you to believe Marie is a lost love, but the last two lines show us the true relationship.

    ------ About the song Memphis performed by Chuck Berry

Listen to this song, and you'll hear how Chuck Berry influenced rock music forever. You can hear artists ranging from the Rolling Stones and The Beatles to The Strokes and QOTSA in these four simple and quaint stanzas.

Mention Berry's "Cars" version | Reviewer: Markus
    ------ About the song Route 66 performed by Chuck Berry

Luv this tune - especially since I'm an "old cars & rock 'n' roll" fan! ;-)

I wonder though if there should be a side note at the end? On the Disney/Pixar "Cars" soundtrack, Chuck adds a line into the song. At the end, after the 2nd iteration of "get your kicks on route 66", Chuck sings, "and I'll meet you on route 62".

Super kool!! | Reviewer: Robert OZ
    ------ About the song Rock'n'Roll Music performed by Chuck Berry

This song is the total enhancement of the spirit of r'n'r. It pictures how things were about to change for the teens of the time and for the black community of upcoming artists. Great song from a GREAT singer.


Cars and girls | Reviewer: paolo redaelli
    ------ About the song No Particular Place To Go performed by Chuck Berry

An epic song of two american dreams: cars, and girls. A true american poet who learned all the world to sing rock'n'roll,in a simple way. Does humour belong in music? Yes, it is.
