David William "Dave" Edmunds (born 15 April 1944) is a Welsh singer, guitarist and record producer. Although he is mainly associated with pub rock and new wave, and had many hits in the 1970s and early 1980s, his natural leaning has always been towards 1950s style rock and roll.

We need more rockabilly in our lives it never dies

[@henrygaughan3644]

Dave the greatest rockstar in history.

[@neilfranklin5644]

this guy needs greater recognition,

[@gedmason6387]

no one will ever do this song as good as Dave Edmunds as he did on that LP

[@CF-nh6lc]

Well, now that Chuck Berry is no longer with us, you might be right.

[@jamestierney2531]

Dave ROCKS. He helps to keep great tunes like this sounding FINE! Thanks, Dave

[@JohnPanto]

When I hear of Elvis being the king, I only have ONE question. How many other artistes have recorded his songs compared to Chuck?????

[@williamrae9954]

The most underrated Welsh artist...I've a fan for decades!

[@bobnewton3754]

Love the way she never misses a beat!! Chuck Berry classic and a classic interpretation by Dave Edmunds - wonderful!

[@josephroache3176]

Bob Newton - Amen to that brother .

[@pauljoseph8691]

A late Berry song. Dave rocked it up and hit it out of the park. First time I heard it I was stunned.

[@daveoneill8235]

Dave never gets the recognition he deserves. A lot of people don't realise he produced the stray cats and shakin stevens Absolute ledgend, The race is on with the stray cats is one of the best rockabilly tunes ever,

[@cliffwheeler7357]

I have a Best of Dave Edmunds CD that has twenty tracks. Everyone one of them charted, and several were top ten or twenty. That’s hardly a record of an artist struggling to be recognised. Dave has received plenty of success, especially from the people that matter. He had his first hit fifty three years ago, nobody goes on forever.

[@PAULLONDEN]

Effing amazing...Dave does the impossible and outchucks Chuck here.

[@gedmason6387]

Totally agree

[@elvis8burgers]

Dave Edmunds - man is a total legend - this version is so in the pocket, wide and loose, and def better than Berry’s. Just great!

[@hmackie6823]

Edmunds knows rockabilly

[@peterdeeduffield9018]

Just about the best rock n roller !

[@rickdagger2209]

no one rocks like Dave. As well I really like this footage it actually looks like the fifties

[@rickdagger2209]

@Dave Edmunds I am the world's biggest Dave Edmonds fan. I saw him live several time. I am a musician by trade and I owe this man everything. He is my biggest influence as a guitar player and as a producer. If this is really Dave Edmonds himself All I can say is thank you sir. You have inspired me my entire life. No other musician has had the type of in Impact on me as you. You might say you are my Chuck Berry. Thank you for your incredible contribution to music as well as my life. We actually shook hands once out of gig in Toronto Canada when you were doing the rock and roll review tour With Dion and Graham Parker. if this is really Dave himself then thank you for responding to me.

[@johnabrams8679]

Chuck, RIP Good Buddy, we have to thank you for this masterpiece, but Dave what a superb renditioning.

[@philippankhurst6680]

Further proof that Chuck Berry was rock'n'roll's greatest lyricist and songwriter.

[@johnjones-ri2lb]

Not even now with all the rap around!!

[@Eric-kw2bv]

Not that I needed any more proof.

[@hidenseek4889]

Chuck is rock's greatest poet.

[@harvey1954]

Absolutely! Chuck gets credit for a lot of things, but his lyrics were the most advanced for anybody back in the 50s. He often told complete stories while most lyricists were struggling to make a rhyme. Promised Land is a read between the lines account of the civil rights movement back in the early 60s.

[@harryhackney6416]

Edmunds & lowe!! Lowe & Edmunds No comparison whichever way you look at it together great combination apart both exceptional artists END OF

[@sondrayork6317]

I hate to make it a point or a statement but, dave Edmonds is better at this song than chuck berry lol, as much as I love his music this song really is a rocker with the dave Edmonds band.

[@mikegowen4967]

Good Lawd Have Mercy!!!!! Never heard this version. What A Tune.

[@Eric-kw2bv]

A great song from Chuck...What lyrics used to be all about, tell a story & make it rock.

[@manfreadstraw]

Magic! Great clip, thankyou! :) Dave has long been a fav.

[@brucewayne3602]

incredibly wonderful ... the Sweet Lass with black top/grey skirt has hypnotized me --- help, what is the antidote ???!!!

[@markfahey3921]

Not even Chuck himself.....

[@alanh.7668]

@@markfahey3921 A matter of opinion to be sure, but I agree.

“Dance ballerina girl, go go go!"

[@TheGrouch2000]

Very true to Chucks original, even the guitar break..love it.

[@JohnPanto]

The words still get me! Poetry in motion!!

[@davidmorgan9276]

Contrary to popular belief or opinion, Dave E's group were 'The Raiders'. They played the at the Gaumont Cinema & the Victoria Ballroom. Circa 1962 all Dave E & the Raiders followers forecast great things for this multi-talented & all round 'Mr Nice Guy'. Dave E now acknowledged as one of the best ever.

[@perihelion7798]

Chuck is dead, but his music has already left the solar system for deep space...cool.

[@jandeband]

A hard song to sing, dave nailed it

[@davediggins8350]

Nice....but Johnny Allen is STILL the TOP VERSION ! 😎🎼

[@tippimail1]

Great version!!!!That gal in the polka dot dress never misses a beat.Had to watch it a few times.There was a reason girls wore crinolines and full skirts in the '50's-all she needed was bobby sox and saddle oxfords.

[@gaborkorthy8355]

Mediocre swing dancing. The men are doing no foot work.

[@raymondgill9796]

Good record great song. Percussion sounds like spoons?

[@davidstout6051]

Meatloaf did a phenomenal job on this song on SNL decades ago. Like this one too. Dancers add a lot.

[@nikolaytzvetkov2347]

Great song. I find the versions of Chuck and Dave a bit too slow. When I listen to Elvis I really feel the urgency and how desperate he is to reach the Promised Land.

[@darrellswampkev]

I agree.

[@josephroache3176]

Ian Money - I totally agree with your comment .

[@dallasbradley3085]

This song is awesome but, Elvis' version would be my pick.

Would have been a great Elvis and Dave duet.

[@hamishurquhart5577]

I love playing and singing this song but - all respect to Dave and Chuck - Elvis really nails this one!

[@claudgurr431]

I agree with Ian Money, Johnny Allen (with Richard Belton on the squeeze box) is outstanding, Elvis, Chuck and others were great versions, but Johnny Allen is the clear winner imo.

One of the attractions of the RnR era was the jiving; and in this case, particularly the couple that has the girl in the full skirt. Jumping around in one place with no hand to hand contact -- you can't call that dancing! Thanks for posting.

Where did you get the wonderful video to go with this great version?
