Johnnie B Good: A Tribute to the Father of Rock & Roll Piano 💙🎤🎤🎤🎹🎸🎸🥁
Join Danny Tsun & his All-Star Band as we celebrate the 100th Birthday of the most influential piano player in Rock & Roll. Johnnie Johnson.
1952. The Johnnie Johnson Trio had a residency @ the Cosmopolitan Club in St Louis. Needing a last minute replacement, Johnnie called up & coming local guitar player, Chuck Berry, to sit in. That night saw the birth of a new style of music - Rock & Roll. Soon renaming it The Chuck Berry Trio, they recorded, performed & toured together for 20 years.
While Berry got famous with numerous hits & accolades, Johnnie remained in the background on many classic recordings, providing Berry with ideas, riffs, the driving undercurrent & jazz-influenced thundering full-handed top end, but was never given due mention, credit, recognition or royalties as songwriting partner or sideman.
In the mid '80s, Johnnie's career was given a rebirth, as he was headhunted to perform in the documentary film/ live concert "Hail, Hail Rock & Roll" celebrating Chuck's 60th birthday. Numerous famous musicians were on the bill. Johnnie's playing was on fire! Go watch!
From then on Johnnie finally got the chance to record, tour & play his own music, with his own band, performing with the world's best, & was acknowledged & recognised as a founding father of rock & roll music. He sadly passed in 2005.
