Chuck Berry - You Cant Catch Me 78 RPM (1956)

- Опубликовано: 12 апр 2024
- Originally recorded by Berry in May 1955 at Universal Recording Corp. for Chess Records it was released as a single in 1956. This is the original first 78 RPM Chess pressing.
As a lyric writer, Berry was so skilled and clever. It’s a side of his talent that doesn’t get enough attention
I'd say Chuck was the best covered rock writer during the past 70 years. His influence was and will long remain as new singers reach back into history for great and popular music. Elvis created the flash of rocknroll while Chuck went on and wrote the score. Only Tina Turned could generate that same energy and if you ever saw them play together you'd appreciate that comment.
I am 86 and I have loved Chuck Berry's music ever since I was a teenager. I still enjoy his music and I can't sit and listen. If you don't get up and move when you here Chuck Berry' s music then you must be dead
100% so great
“Like a coooooool breeze!” Classic lyric…
That piano player has some great chops!
Johnnie Johnson I believe
También creo que se trata de johnnie Johnson ,quien participó en la mayoría de sus grabaciones. Las de la compañía de los hermanos Chess tienen un sonido increíble!
A genius behind the scenes; the great Johnnie Johnson.
You can hear the pavement going by under the tires...
Long Live Ukraine.
Ladies and Gentleman, the true king of rock and roll
Yes, the real true King of Rock "n" Roll, big influence on The Beatles and Rolling Stones.
Great sound! The slap bass by Willie Dixon is awesome!
What a great song! "Here come a flat-top, he was moving up with me." Now we know where Lennon got that lyric in "Come Together"!
Ive know it since 1969.
@@randybackgammon890 So what's a "flat-top" then, smarty pants?
@@ronrice1931 It's a car I suppose....got me there I'll admit
@@randybackgammon890 I always imagined it was guy with a flat top haircut. But that was based on Lennon's song.
I think Harrison wrote Come Together..
TRUE KING OF ROCKNROLL
One of the Founding Fathers.
The poet of Rock’n’Roll.
I actually shook hands with Chuck Berry!
Where’d you meet him? And how were you able to shake hands?
I can’t begin to imagine what that would be like…
@@iandowney4630 My band supported Chuck at Butlins, Bognor Regis. I met him backstage.
Very cool 🎉 An amazing experience you won’t ever forget.
You must be stuck in the middle
Love Chuck Berry…great musician and amazing songwriter. Yes, he did influence so many rockers, including a little group called The Beatles ❤
Love that duck walk 😉
They could have had a good career if their music had taken off.
@@johnlennon8653🤣🤣🤣😂😂 Yes, it’s so unfortunate that they never caught on 😉
And we can't forget the Stones. They covered this song on one of their early albums, They also covered Oh, Carol".
@@bh8365 Don't forget Bye Bye Johnny and Come On.
@@1979cl1 . Thanks. I remember "Come On".

Don't ever forget Johnny guitar Watson, he came out with space guitar in 56' first to reverb his guitar, playing circles around Chuck Berry, then he was a jazz pianist in the 60s,, 70s he was a funk star, Steve Miller idol, and Frank Zappa was Jonny Watson, millers reference to space cowboy is about him, and there's vids on RUclips of Zappa having big jams in his studio with jomny Watson. Not only that, he wrote one of the first rap songs, funky rap songs like telephone song, he is one of the most sampled in early hip-hop, "don't be what UC" is literally Dr Dre chronic album. My point is the man evolved every decade to change with the industry, yet isn't recognized as one of the greatest, yet could play exactly like Albert Collins with the capo on third fifth fret and pluck those fast blues licks, not only that but played the piano like thelonius monk. There's tons of vids on here with him. I suggest you go down the rabbit hole
@@shable1436 Thank You!
There are Always Too Many too Mention!
The Story of The Creation & Evolution of the Electric Guitar Is A Vast Subject!
Still a crackìn' song to this day 👏
Chuck. It's me
You're cousin Marvin.
Here come Ol flattop !!
Perfect, just bloody perfect! How can you possibly improve on a record like this? Thank God for Chuck Berry and Chess Records. They both changed the world of music.
" Here come old flat top he come grooving up with me ( slowly)," a line + melody John Lennon used in his song Come Together, very cool. John also does a killer version of this song on his Rock + Roll lp, produced by Phil Spector Rock on! ArtyThan ☆♡☆
What a great sounding old Soviet turntable btw !
...ДА! ДА! ДА!
Yes! yes!! yes!!!
Динамик :*" КОНЦЕРТНЫЙ "*!
Надпись:" Сделано в СССР ".

@@user-pv6oz9vx9w I wish i could understand more of your comments here, I'm going to try to translate them now, but yes, this turntable is absolutely beautiful sounding. So are many of the Russian and old Soviet musical electronics are incredible sounding. Thank you ! :D
I noticed the Soviet turntable also! Really nice audio from an old vinyl!!!
@@bruceringrose7539 Isn't it ? It's just sweet and natural sounding . :D
@@thesanfordmethod1905 Interestingly, RUclips have recently added a feature at the bottom of every non-english comment: 'Translate to English' which works very well. Just click on that and it's immediately translated without leaving the page. It's also reversible.
Yeah that's the REAL STUFF! 🎸
I was born in 1956, a good year. surprised to hear this was on a 78. 45s must have come out soon afterward.
78s and 45s were produced side by side from 1949 when 45s were introduced until 1959 when 78s were discontinued.
@@dstrau7987 Tks. for the FYI.
78s were on the wane for 33 long play and 45. They simply could get more time on a record
@@dstrau7987 Those 78’s could break easily!
The real king of rock and roll.
The founder of rock 'n' roll !!!
Hello Chuck? This is your cousin Marvin Berry. 😃
sorry Marvin cousin Chuck has checked out 😢
He he, eh, eh, back to the future
I'm your other cousin Logan Berry
AWESOME
My favorite Chuck Berry Song! What a story in 2 minutes 40 seconds ! Riffs in this one stolen by Dylan, The Stones, and many others. Total mastery !
The Beatles even bit lyrics from it. “He come grooving up slowly”
Borrowed
@@benwilburn6147 "Here come old flattop" to complete the whole phrase.
Chuck wasn't immune from lifting riffs either. "Johnny B. Goode" riff comes from Louis Jordan.
Stones more than acknowledged their debt.
Awesome! Sounds great!
Love this song!!! Thanks for sharing this beautiful classic ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
0:50 - inspiration for a certain Beatles lyric...?
I was thinking...Take an English kid, play him this song over and over...then give him some acid...and you end up with Come Together!!!🤩😘😶🌫
Not just the lyric but the tune.
Not an inspiration.... it's an obvious reference to this song. But in the sense of homage. The songs are utterly unlike each other in all other ways.
@@alexanderSydneyOz John Lennon was sued in 1969 by the publisher of the 1956 Chuck Berry song "You Can't Catch Me" claiming that he infringed on that copyright when writing his Beatles song "Come Together" in 1969. Lennon settled out of court.
The songs share a similar blues melody and structure, although the Chuck Berry-written song has a more upbeat tempo. And Lennon even used a line directly from Berry's song, which was about driving a fast car, "Here come a flat-top / He was movin' up with me," changing it only slightly and opening his song with, "Here come ol' flat-top / He come groovin' up slowly."
Flat top
Great lyrics, great music!
Awesome awesome sharing dear friend ❤️
Really enjoyed watching and listening to this beautiful song 😍🎧🎤🎸🎸🎸
See you again keep intouch ❤️❤️
The great music genius Chuck Berry got chanced everything to rockn'roll if he only touched it with his guitar or his mind...! 🕵🏻🎶❤️🎶🔥🎶😃👍👍👍
Amazing. Top-tier rock!👍⬆
Love chuck
The piano,the piano!!!!! It's play so so cool!!!!!! I LOVE it
As some others have said, this Chuck Berry hit owes more to his piano player than to his guitar. Johnnie Johnson!
0:11 I never knew vinyl records were around in 1645. Mind you, I always thought Chuck berry looked old.
Chess h. F. R' 1956" you can catch me " chuck berry😊😊😊😊
Thanks. Inspirational!
this performance changed bill wymans life - watching it in a cinema in germany post ww2. story from a documentary called 'the history of the blues'.
I've always been intrigue with the way some reacted to seeing Chuck perform this in this film ROCK ROCK ROCK at the movie theatre. The energy, the passion...no doubt it had to influence the younger generation during the 1950s, with all the white shirts and conservative attitudes. This just blows it open!! I can understand why so many were so afraid of Rock and Roll...but I'm so glad they didn't succeed in quelling the music for the masses!! Play it loud!!! Dig, DmGrk
Is this not the first version of Maybelline
No, this is a different song on the same key. And Maybelline was sped up, he actually performed it slower.
It's the first version of a dozen of Chuck Berry songs..
I just discovered where Lennon got that line from Come Together..."here come ol' flattop, he come grooving up slowly"
Chuck Berry's publisher sued John Lennon and The Beatles for copyright infringement claiming the basis of their song Come Together and the "flat top" line was taken directly from You Can't Catch Me.
Berry
"Here come a flat-top, he was moving up with me."
Lennon
"Here come old flat top.
He come grooving up slowly."
Paul McCartney immediately upon hearing Lennon playing the song noticed the similarities and suggested a tempo change and they thought they had done enough to make the song unique and their own. The Beatles settled the suit out of court.
Here comes old Flat top, borrowed for the song Come Together.
The BEST !
Very, very cool.❤🇺🇲🙂🎼 1:54
Very cool 👍👍
The essence!
One of the founding fathers of Rock&Roll. Brilliant
Grande
Johnny was just doing this. Just doing this the WHOLE time. Wearing a white suit crossing the street on an album cover. At concerts when all the girls screamed at Johnny And The Moondogs, he was right stage, clomping around, just like this. Even ripped off this song. "Here come ole flattop he come groovin up slowly..." Johnny was just doing this whole time. No Berry, no Beatles.
Damn straight!
Yup. They all did. Eg Keith Richards openly admits that he's stolen every riff from Chuck Berry. (Not true about specific riffs maybe, but the spirit, approach, technique etc of Chuck is there in the vast majority of Stones rockers.) As far as I understand, Chuck didn't dislike this.
Now.. trying out Chucks guitar without permission - thats another thing.. 😊
Cool
Snare drum is superb.
❤yes
Класс!
Chuck wrote the lyrics and told Johnny Johnson to come up with the chords, song after song and never shared the royalties
Great song, i grew up on the Stones version, which is pretty much identicle. Cheers
Some people were meant to be put on our Earth and Chuck is winging right now to the stars.
Odd that the CCCP record player had no 45 rpm setting, or maybe that was indicated by "0"?
My how music videos have come along (in my lifetime)!
Methinx 45 is the blank spot between 33 and 78, and "0" is a neutral or pause setting
I 😊😊 like the 1 of Chuck berry playing the electric guitar 🎸 😊 at the school is a better 1 than that have U seen that 1 when Chuck feels good I don't remember what song it was and I don't know when it was it was in black and white I still remember it 😊😊 OMG 4 22 2O24
78 rpm tt's are an uncommon site. Only 78 I ever had was an old jazz lacuer probably from the 1920s.. sadly it fell and shattered... could only listen to it hand rotating the platter.
Il y a"Chuck Berry"et les autres...!
Cool 100 % ❤
First artist to mention NJ in a song
K👀L Thank you.
Not sure it ever came out on a 78. We always bought it on the 45's
The world was more rough _and_ innocent back then.
✌️🎸
With the great Otis Spann on piano!
This includes the lyric that Chuck sued Lennon and McCartney over it's use.
"Here come ol' flattop" (which I feel was petty- L&M were paying a kind of tribute to one of their mentors by including that line- it was artistic.)(Well they paid tribute twice!)
Yeah, that was reaaaally stupid of him. The Beatles, who I don’t really care for either did way more than his simple song or line.
Not just the lyric but the tune- play it slower if you can’t hear it
Hey, Chuck successfully sued The Beach Boys because the start of "Fun Fun Fun" was a note-for-note ripoff of "Johnny B. Goode".
Having been ripped off so much over the years, Chuck demanded cash up-front for every performance he did, even for that live concert movie honouring him, "Hail Hail Rock and Roll!".
Surfin' USA was written by Chuck Berry
Chuck is the Bob Dylan of the 50s
Chuck Berry is the Chuck Berry of the fifties.
@@guitarslim56 Did you work on that very long ?
Vamos que tengo de to' , como en una boda 🎉
really like the Stones' cover
This is Rocka billy.
Here comes old flattop🤙🏼
Esta la rola que segun lennon pirateo a berry con come together nunca la habia oido la original si la de lennon en su album r & r que ahi se se oye igual pero segun leí lennon se la volvio aplicar a berry .
extra !!!
I don’t recall dis rekkit! PWG
Nice pick up.where you got that?
I still don’t understand why Lennon’s Come Together is supposed to be this track. Only one partial line about “here come old flattop”.
I thought the melody sounded familiar, but it was the Beatles' Come Together.
Wow , where was the dog barking from ?
La vitesse de lecture est mal réglée, et ne correspond pas à l'original, dommage…
It’s doesn’t get much cooler than Chuck.
Chuck Berry no King of Rock and Roll Is Elvis .
Chuck Berry " God of Rock n' Roll " 🎉
In my Channel all discography , Lp , Lives , Concert etc
Aah algo Blues , Jump Blues , Rhythm n' Blues , Rockin' Blues etc 🎉
Slowed down .a john Lenton song
Come together right now
"Hey come on flat top".......
Johnny Johnson a big part too
Must have inspired Lennon to write Come Together
Semms like a russian-made turntable: kyrillic letters and „CCCP“ (= USSR) in lower left corner
Is that an old Russian Record Player?
Yes, the Soviet one made in 1974) Solid state ; )
@@gramophone-channel It even plays in English! LOL🤣
I think up until this listen I thot 'old flat top' was a young guy with a crew cut. This time I'm seeing a policeman 👮♂️
Come Together, huh
who is playing piano ?
That wasn't nothing but cool right there.
He come ole flat foot later Beatles come together
@00:50 Yup! That's "Come Together" by John Lennon. Once again the same sad story about The White Man Stealing The Black Man's Music.
Well now I realize where John Lennon stole some lines and grove from for Come Together. Both great songwriters!
I don’t think they stole them… it’s not an amazing line and they could have easily used a million other ones. British dudes were obsessed with certain American records and he was showing what he listened to.
@@SS_Psyops Its a direct copy of the line. I didn't say it as a diss if it came out that way. I meant Lennon copied it and I had no idea he did before hearing this Berry gem. Lennon used it probably as a tip of the hat to Berry. But Lennon didn't make up that line as he was a big fan of Berry and most certainly knew of it. All good. We are just saying the same thing.
Oh yeah bud, I’m more responding to the line of thought not you.
He ripped off Come Together for this (or was it then other way around?).
Here come ole flatop,
He come moving up…
Now who stole those lines from Chuck Berry? 🤔
