Johnny B. Goode" is a song written by Chuck Berry in 1955 (although recorded in 1958), and is considered one of the first pure rock and roll songs ever recorded.[citation needed]
The piece is the rock and roll version of the American dream - a poor country boy from the backwoods has dreams of becoming a star by hard work and his skill at playing the guitar. Although partly based on Berry himself, the inspiration for the song is said to have been Johnnie Johnson who played the piano and composed several songs with Berry. On earlier unreleased takes Chuck sang 'colored boy' for 'country boy', but the Chess-brothers decided that that would not sell.
The song's impact on the rock 'n' roll world has been immense. Countless rock guitarists of varying popularity have lifted the song's memorable guitar licks for their own songs, most notably the intro. Berry's recording of the song was included on the Voyager Golden Record, attached to the Voyager spacecraft.
Berry later wrote a sequel song called "Bye Bye Johnny".
In March 2005, Q magazine placed "Johnny B. Goode" at number 42 in its list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Tracks. Rolling Stone ranked it as the seventh best song ever on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
