Chuck Berry - LITTLE QUEENIE - 1959 HQ!

For this video, I stripped out low-fi movie sound, and blended the high quality recording into the scene from Go, Johnny, Go! - Get the full restored movie Go, Johnny, Go! here:
www.amazon.com/dp/B01M5ANXCA
Pretending musicians are Alan Freed on drums, Dave Brubeck on piano, Jean Reinhart on guitar, and Charlie Hayden on bass. Ritchie Valens is the guy sitting with the girls at the table.
The ACTUAL musicians were Johnnie Johnson on piano, Willie Dixon on bass, and Fred Below on drums. www.ModCollectibles.com

At a junior High class party in the 50's somebody put this record on the record player and one of my female classmates started dancing and the guy standing next to me said, "Go, Queenie"! The nickname, Queenie, has stuck with her for over 60 years.

[@texasblues46]

It’s real. Up until a couple of years ago nobody could remember how she got the nickname, Queenie. The classmate that said, Go Queenie, committed suicide by cop over 30 years ago. We were 13 then. Today we are 74.

Wish Chuck had never stopped using this particular guitar. THIS guitar, T H E very famous 1955 ES- 350T gold finish beauty, is the guitar used in the recording sessions that produced the iconic hits such as "Maybelline", "Memphis", "Johnny B. Good", "Sweet Little Sixteen", "Carol", "Little Queenie", and so many more. Obviously Chuck Berry was a musical genius..... writing, singing, A N D playing lead guitar.
