One of two Chuck Berry cover versions recorded by the Beatles, this features George Harrison on lead vocal, a role which, for stage performances, had once been John Lennon's domain. The Beatles were fervent admirers of Berry and performed many more of his rock classics in their pre-fame stage repertoire, including Johnny B Goode, Sweet Little Sixteen, Carol, Little Queenie, Reelin' And Rockin, Too Much Monkey Business, I Got To Find My Baby, Memphis, Tennessee, Rock And Roll Music (covered on Beatles For Sale), Thirty Days and I'm Talking About You.
