Johnny B Goode has the be one of the greatest anthems of R&R. The man was a genius and a legend. He once played in an high school gym with a rope down the middle to separate the Black seating from the White seating. The audience was having none of it and took the rope down, and all began to dance together. The '50's rock legends did more to break down the racial barriers in this country that any politician ever did. Chuck Berry sent as powerful of a message as Martin Luther King did and he deserves just as much credit.
