This was
one of Chuck Berry’s 14 US Top 40 and 15 US R&B Top 10 singles.
Berry had a
role (as himself) in 1959 movie “Go, Johnny, Go!” where he performed “Little Queenie” and two other songs.
There was a
quite a solid bunch of musicians making this one. Gotta love Johnnie Johnson’s
piano!
List price:
“Very Good+” is $15 and “Near Mint” is
$30
