Chuck Berry - School Days (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.

Thank you Chuck for giving us AC/DC. You inspired generation after generation even if they may not know it. We do!

[mrinnervisionz]

Thank you Mr. Chuck Berry, for paving the way for some of my favorite artist like MJ, Prince, Rick James, Stevie Wonder, Sam Cooke, James Brown, & nearly every RocknRoll artist, band or group, regardless of their race !  Little Richard & Chuck Berry  will forever be the Kings of Rock & Roll!  Thank you once again, for sharing your music with the World!  Your music & legacy will live on until, time is no more .

Got the honors of meeting Chuck several times in his hometown of Wentzvile, Missouri in the early 2000's. Once I was in the local bank and I came to meet with a loan officer to discuss a loan, and I had met and briefly talked with Chuck once before in that town. Low and behold, when I stepped back into the bank's loan offices, there he was, kicked back, feet up on the bank managers desk, talking on the bank manager's phone. He jumped up out of his seat and came to me and shook my hand, remembering me from the conversation probably a year and a half earlier. He was a true gentleman and to me a friend. Rest in peace, Chuck Berry, you blessed us all with your music.

Up in the mornin and out to school
The teacher is teachin the golden rule
American history and practical math
You studyin hard and hopin to pass
Workin your fingers right down to the bone
And the guy behind you wont leave you alone

Ring, ring goes the bell
The cook in the lunch rooms ready to sell
Youre lucky if you can find a seat
Youre fortunate if you have time to eat
Back in the classroom, open your books
Keep up the teacher dont know how mean she looks

Soon as three oclock rolls around
You finally lay your burden down
Close up your books, get out of your seat
Down the halls and into the street
Up to the corner and round the bend
Right to the juke joint, you go in

Drop the coin right into the slot
Youre gotta hear somethin thats really hot
With the one you love, youre makin romance
All day long you been wantin to dance,
Feeling the music from head to toe
Round and round and round we go

Hail, hail rock and roll
Deliver me from the days of old
Long live rock and roll
The beat of the drums, loud and bold
Rock, rock, rock and roll
The feelin is there, body and soul.

Just came across this vid....glad I did and glad Keith helped put it together....such a great piece of our history Most people do not even realize, Chuck really was one of the original pioneers of Rock and Roll. Hey maybe somebody knows the answer to this....I think Keith is playing those iconic guitar fills --is he?
