We should also remember the great Bass Player Joey Spampinato with his Dano Longhorn

As usual, Mr. Johnson is appreciative of all of the musicians around him.
Another group that is not trying to out-do each other.
Just play and enjoy everybody's abilities.
RIP Mr. Johnson.

Can't believe I gave Eric Clapton a like. For Chuck and Johnnie Johnson.

[beatlemx]

Johnnie Johnson... A real master on the piano. Great jam, Simply the best if the best... Oh my my!

[mathilde-rk]

Chuck Leavell is not only a great pianist but the lucky one who plays whith two of the greatest frontmen : Chuck and Mick!!!

[ryanmagno]

I always love that Eric gets pissed off for missing his lick at 1:27.

Of all of the achievements to Keith Richards' name, you can tell that bringing Johnny Johnson and Chuck back together is one of his proudest. He talks about it often and gladly. What a man

[chrisl]

now Chuck and Johnnie are together again...RIP both of you pioneers

[heliocardoso]

Johnnie Johnson was working as bus driver when Keith Richards (musical director) invited him to play in this movie (Hail Hail Rock'n'Roll) .. It is a mean old world, but JJ got recognized after all ... God bless him

[sgt.pepper]

I salute Keith Richards for getting this thing together! It was not easy. And Johnnie Johson is great! Keith asked him to play on his solo record.

[carguy]

Guy gets a freaking oscillating sound by moving the mic up and down, wow. No fancy effects, just pure bad assery. RIP Chuck.

[redoz]

That was great, so good to see Chuck Berry jamming with these guys.

[stewartchampion]

Damn that was some nice organ work. All round class. Perfect. I rate this as some of the best work any of them have done. Just a perfect time when just the right musicians got together and played. Spot on

[richardbusson]

Chuck Leavell facial expression is worth gold as Johnnie Johnson launches into his hot introduction.

[alijav]

the way the guy playing organs smiles at johnnie shows how much respect he has for him, and hes an amazing player himself.

I searched every Chinese website and there was none. Now I see here again. Tearsful, man, sister, tearsful. I need dip my soul into.

[maryyoung]

I tried to write a letter to John Johnson more than 60 years ago. I was so taken with "Wee Wee Hours." I never heard back, but fans weren't acknowledged then like they are know.

[murph]

Great group --- all stars --- Chuck Berry really sings the blues!! This is truly a masterpiece

[tonysoulmanok]

I love it when Johnnie and Chuck Leavell crosses smiles
