American Graffiti (1973) - Music Video - Johnny B. Goode

I already started this project before the death of Chuck Berry, what a coincidence. The world lost one of the pioneers of rock and roll music. Rest in peace Chuck Berry (October 18, 1926 - March 18, 2017)
Movie: American Graffiti (1973)
Song: Chuck Berry - Johnny B. Goode
