078/365 (Get Your Kicks on) Route 66
I couldn't let today pass without paying tribute to Chuck Berry.
He wasn't the only one to cover this classic but for me, his version was closest to its R&B roots, with jazz overtones he so often blended into his songs. Released in March 1961 it was the first time I became aware him and his distinctive style of music.
I soon became a big fan of his music and who would've known back then that one day I'd be living on a part of Route 66 here in Albuquerque?
If I had to choose my favourite song by him it would be such a hard choice. I love Never Can Tell, Maybelline, Roll Over Beethoven and Get Your Kicks On Route 66.
Thank you for the music Chuck Berry - October 18, 1926 to March 18, 2017. RIP.
