Citando:
"Even after they made their mark on the world with their own music, The Beatles continue to sing Chuck Berry’s praises. John Lennon once said, “If you tried to give rock ‘n’ roll another name, you might call it ‘Chuck Berry,” In addition to including “Roll Over Beethoven” in many of their early sets, they recorded a studio version of the track, which became the opener of their 1964 album The Beatles’ Second Album."
