Song #337: "Rock n' Roll Music"--The Beatles (1964)

So, we have a song originally recorded and made famous by Chuck Berry re-recorded by two legendary groups, The Beatles and The Beach Boys.

The Beatles sang this song, a lot, early in their career, recording it in 1964 for an album. It later became the "title track" of the 1976 compliation double album "Rock n' Roll Music", which was what really introduced me to the Fab Four.

That same year, the Beach Boys came out with their version, a little slower, with a definite Beach Boys twist, and it was good, too.

But my vote is for the Fab Four's version. Here they are live in concert, just missing the hot piano at the end of the last verse, with #337 in the Rob Witham 500.  :)
