"Memphis" (Johnny Rivers) #2 7/11/1964 Bonus

The first hit for Johnny Rivers was his remake of a Chuck Berry rock standard. Johnny had just been hired as the debut act to play L.A.'s Whisky a Go Go when it opened on the Sunset Strip in early 1964. He recorded several live albums there with great success. This one owes more to Lonnie Mack's instrumental version than to Chuck's.
