R & R Hall Bee Gees and Chuck Berry

While The Bee Gees deserve to be in the hall due to their early 5 member days with songs such as To Love Somebody, Lonely Days Lonely Nights, and the New York Mining Disaster featuring a munchkin voice singing, “It’s jush a photograph of someone that I knew,” the bands later day disco boosting tunes such as Night Fever and their Sgt Pepper’s movie had many wishing ELO were the designees since ELO limited their dance oriented tunes to one album, Discovery (called Disco Very by discerning fans).

Chuck Berry had it all: the (duck) walk and the talk. Great tunes include Roll Over Beethoven where many learned about half the names of classical composers they would ever learn, Johnny B. Goode where his guitar came alive(a favorite of Marty McFly), Reeling and Rocking where we learned to pace ourselves, and You Never Can Tell (the tune that John Travolta and Uma Thurman danced to in Pulp Fiction). Unfortunately Chuck’s only number 1 was with My Ding-A-Ling.
