Chuck Berry - Berry Is on Top (1959)

"Beautiful Delilah" by Chuck Berry


The T.A.M.I. Show is a landmark in the history of concert films.  A first of its kind, the film showcased some of the hottest acts of the day, those who would become the future of rock and roll, and some legendary acts giving legendary performances.  Gerry and The Pacemakers's inclusion in the show was not so much curious as it was an obvious stand-in for the unavailable Beatles.  The resident Liverpudlians didn't open the show, that right deservedly went to Chuck Berry, but the second song, "Maybellene", that Berry started was finished by The Pacemakers.  In a setlist's attempt to explain the cross-Atlantic trajectory of Rock and Roll that was now coming back to the States, the two artists would continue to take turns with the Beat boys benefiting and Chuck Berry being denied the more prominent and sustained spotlight he deserved.

In a first for this blog, this is Chuck Berry's third whistle stop!!  He released his third album Berry Is on Top in 1959 on Chess Records.

Here is the discography surrounding Chuck Berry's third album:

Johnny B. Goode (1958 single)
Beautiful Delilah (1958 single)
Carol (1958 single)
Sweet Little Rock and Roller (1958 single)
Pickin' Berries (1958 EP)
Merry Christmas Baby (1958 single)
Sweet Little 'Rock and Roller' (1959 EP)
Anthony Boy (1959 single)
Almost Grown (1959 single)
Back in the U.S.A. (1959 single)
