About Johnny B. Goode
Johnny B. Goode is a seminal 1958 rock and roll song by Chuck Berry. Written by Berry in 1955, the song is a rock and roll version of the American dream — a poor country boy becomes a star by hard work and inspired guitar playing. This image of unknowns with no future achieving fame and fortune through music became a paradigm for countless songs and even careers to follow. The opening guitar riff on "Johnny B. Goode" may be the most famous single riff in rock and roll history. .
