Chuck Berry & Etta James - Rock and Roll Music (1986)

Keith Richards invited a roster of great musicians to honor Chuck Berry for an evening of music to commemorate Berry's 60th birthday. Taken from the Hail! Hail! Rock 'n' Roll movie.

Well guys and gals, the doctor says take in this video 10 times each morning and you will have a smile on your face and your feet will have done their first 1,000 steps of the day.

Not just a talent. Call it what it is: mastership!

I think Chuck was trying to upstage Etta by making remarks and doing his thing. Chuck didn't want her in the show.

Wow Berry, showed love and respect in his jam with Eta James. He loved that jam and Eta was jamming fine.

This concert was from a 60th birthday celebration concert put together by Keith Richards and Taylor Hackford for Chuck Berry. A bunch of big stars were invited to play and/or sing the music of Chuck Berry including Clapton, Etta James, Linda Ronstadt, etc. The whole concert and preparation leading up to it were codified in Taylor Hackford's documentary film, Hail! Hail! Rock n' Roll. I highly recommend it; it's very insightful and interesting - not to mention entertaining!

This is historic footage. Possibly THE seminal song of early rock n roll music, a song about itself (not knowing what would come of it all), performed by its progenitor on rock guitar Chuck Berry, sung by Etta James, a woman who was possibly THE top talent of black soul singing overall turning a song supposedly out of her genre into a monster performance, assisted by Keith Richards, a man whose epic career was made overseas by his love for this American song. Pretty amazing. So glad the production was up to modern standards. This will live forever.

[@voicemad]

This mamma is awesome. Bravo, Etta !

What can we say about this explosive hurricane-shaped woman and this absolutely unique voice that ignites our ears with that authentic rock? (And the Blues, Jazz, R&B, Soul, too ..) What can we say about this wonderful star that left us orphans of his magnificent voice? What can we say about Etta James? The words, however long that may be, never tell all about her. For now, only a terrible and immense longing in our hearts. R.I.P. Etta, we loved you my sweetheart. Forever, ever & ever
