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.

Dave Edmunds is one of the greatest R&R artists of all time… a true craftsman, his covers of Chuck Berry songs in particular are absolutely sublime! ❤

[@StephenStephens-jy9jj]

I bought ‘Repeat when Necessary’ ,back in the day, and wasn’t disappointed. If anything, Dave came along a decade late to be really big but is still unforgettable fifty years on. Love Jonathan Richman too.

[@mathewhickey7760]

We need more rockabilly in our lives it never dies

[@neilfranklin5644]

this guy needs greater recognition,

[@jussix48]

Good old Dave Edmunds and Rockn'roll...! 🕵🏻🎶😃👍👍👍💃💃💃💃💃

[@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.

[@henrygaughan3644]

Dave the greatest rockstar in history.

[@williamrae9954]

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

[@JohnPanto]

The words still get me! Poetry in motion!!

[@kimtodd1202]

Do you know what the lyrics are actually about?

[@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.

[@mikegowen4967]

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

[@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?????

[@peterdeeduffield9018]

Just about the best rock n roller !

[@jamestierney2531]

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

[@pauljoseph8691]

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

[@alanh.7668]

Man, iconic! No one covers Chuck Berry half as good as Dave!

Not even Chuck himself.....

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

[@johnabrams8679]

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

[@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.

[@robertdaloia1048]

A friend of mine told me how much he loves this song...i said HEY, ME TO BROTHER, ...!!!! and he played the elvis version, not knowing this one, and i said NO, NO, NO, BRO, LET ME SHOW YOU THIS PROPER ONE..., OH YEA... BEST VERSION...👇 THANK YOU CHUCK BERRY, GOD REST YOUR ROCKIN SOUL...🙏💙

[@jandeband]

A hard song to sing, dave nailed it

[@Eric-kw2bv]

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

talk about energy and joy ! this music personifies it !

[@jackiehyland4379]

Excellent music I love it

[@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.

[@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!

[@CrimesdePays]

Super version ! J'adoooore !

Loved Dave forty years, this is half the reason

Good cover ❤❤❤

[@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.

It sounds like a child is tapping along to the music on this record. Quite amazing given everything else on it is so good.

[@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.

[@chipmusick682]

This song is so good I've never heard a bad version of it and I'm 70 years old.

[@hmackie6823]

that's why I am here

[@ianmoney3166]

Love this song Dave Edmunds does it proud ,but still think the Johnny Allen version is the best.

I agree.

Ian Money - I totally agree with your comment .

[@dallasbradley3085]

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.

[@davidallum6841]

Great song , great version, nearly saw that girls knickers but her partner kept getting in the way damit.

[@IantheWoodcraftsman]

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.

[@patcoffey7177]

Not too shabby!

[@perihelion7798]

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

[@johnveighey8313]

What about the girl in the pencil skirt wearing glasses

[@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.
