Álbum One Dozen Berrys de Chuck Berry - Canciones
One Dozen Berrys
Reseña
El segundo álbum del pionero del rock, One Dozen Berrys, lanzado en 1958, continúa la fórmula de su exitoso debut, ofreciendo, como su título indica, una docena de nuevas gemas musicales. Por consiguiente, el disco vuelve a ser una mezcla de sencillos de éxito con otras composiciones que muestran la increíble consistencia de Chuck Berry como compositor. De hecho, este trabajo lo consolida como el principal cronista de la vida adolescente estadounidense.
El álbum, en consecuencia, contiene uno de sus himnos más imperecederos: "Sweet Little Sixteen". Esta canción, con su letra que describe la emoción de una fan del rock and roll, es un ejemplo perfecto de su capacidad para crear personajes y narrativas vívidas. Su melodía, además, sería posteriormente utilizada por The Beach Boys para su éxito "Surfin' U.S.A.".
Por otro lado, el disco también incluye el clásico "Rock and Roll Music", un manifiesto que celebra el poder y la alegría del nuevo género musical. Además, Chuck Berry sigue mostrando su maestría como guitarrista en temas como "Reelin' and Rockin'".
Sin embargo, el álbum también presenta su habilidad para el blues y los temas más lentos, como en "I've Changed". Como resultado, 'One Dozen Berrys' es una obra fundamental que solidificó el estatus de Chuck Berry como una de las primeras y más grandes estrellas del rock and roll, un artista que no solo tocaba música, sino que contaba las historias de su tiempo.

[X]letra de Sweet Little Sixteen
They're really rockin' Boston
In Pittsburgh, P. A.
Deep in the heart of Texas
And 'round the Frisco Bay
All over St. Louis
And down in New Orleans
All the cats want to dance with
Sweet little sixteen
Sweet little sixteen
She's just got to have
About half a million
Framed autographs
Her wallet filled with pictures
She gets 'em one by one
Become so excited
Watch her, look at her run
Oh mommy mommy
Please may I go
It's such a sight to see
Somebody steal the show
Oh daddy daddy
I beg of you
Whisper to mommy
It's all right with you
'Cause they'll be rockin' on Bandstand
In Philadelphia P.A.
Deep in the heart of Texas
And 'round the Frisco Bay
All over St. Louis
Way down in New Orleans
All the cats want to dance with
Sweet little sixteen
'Cause they'll be rockin' on Bandstand
Philadelphia P.A.
Deep in the heart of Texas
And 'round the Frisco Bay
All over St. Louis
Way down in New Orleans
All the cats want to dance with
Sweet little sixteen
Sweet little sixteen
She's got the grown up blues
Tight dresses and lipstick
She's sportin' high heel shoes
Oh, but tomorrow morning
She'll have to change her trend
And be sweet sixteen
And back in class again
Well they'll be rockin' Boston
Pittsburgh, P. A.
Deep in the heart of Texas
And 'round the Frisco Bay
Way out in St. Louis
Way down to New Orleans
All the cats want to dance with
Sweet little sixteen - Blue Feeling
- La Jaunda (Espanola)
- Rocking at the Philharmonic
- Oh Baby DollVer letra
[X]letra de Oh Baby Doll
Oh baby doll!
When bells ring out the summer free
Oh baby doll
Will it end for you and me?
We'll sing our old Alma Mater
And think of things that used to be
I remember it so well
Back when the weather was cool
We used to have so much fun
When we were walking to school
If we stopped off to hear
The latest songs they sing
And we just make it in
Before the bells would ring
Oh baby doll!
When bells ring out the summer free
Oh baby doll
Will it end for you and me?
We'll sing our old Alma Mater
And think of things that used to be
When the teacher was gone
That's when we'd have a ball
We use to dance and play
All up and down the hall
We had a portable radio
We was ballin' the jack
We'd be all back in order
When the teacher got back
Oh baby doll!
When bells ring out the summer free
Oh baby doll
Will it end for you and me?
We'll sing our old Alma Mater
And think of things that used to be - Guitar Boogie
- Reelin' and Rockin'
- Ingo
- Rock & Roll Music
- How You've Changed
- Low Feeling
- It Don't Take But a Few Minutes
