Álbum The London Chuck Berry Sessions de Chuck Berry - Canciones
The London Chuck Berry Sessions
Reseña
La discografía de Chuck Berry presenta con este álbum de 1972 uno de sus mayores y más inesperados éxitos comerciales. 'The London Chuck Berry Sessions' sigue el formato popular de la época, con una cara grabada en estudio en Londres y otra en directo. De hecho, fue la cara en vivo la que contenía la canción que lo devolvería a lo más alto de las listas: "My Ding-a-Ling".
Esta pieza, una canción de doble sentido de carácter festivo y participativo, se convirtió en su único número uno en Estados Unidos y el Reino Unido. En consecuencia, el éxito de esta canción eclipsó por completo el resto del álbum, para disgusto de muchos críticos y del propio Chuck Berry en ocasiones.
Sin embargo, la cara de estudio es excelente, con temas de rock y blues de gran calidad. Por otro lado, la sección en directo captura la energía de sus conciertos, aunque centrada en un material más ligero. Como resultado, el álbum es una obra extraña y dual: por un lado, un éxito masivo basado en una canción novedosa; por otro, una sólida colección de rock que a menudo es pasada por alto.

[X]letra de I Will Not Let You Go
I will not let you go, I will not let you go, I will not let you go
You know I love you and I want you and I need you more and more
No, I can't, I just can't let you go
Lord knows we were born to be with each other and I ain't gonna let you go
We're s'posed to spend our lives together and I just can't let you go
Because I love you and I want you and I need you more and more
No, I can't darling, I just can't let you go
I know I love you in vain, little girl, but I still can't let you go
I'm tied to you with chains of love, but I just can't let you go
Because I love you and I want you and I need you more and more
No, I can't, I just can't let you go
(Somebody tell me)
How can my heart withstand so much pain
And still keep on beating and loving you in vain ?
Because I love you and I want you and I need you more and more
Lord, I just can't, I just can't let you go
(Well, that is why)
I will not, I will not let you go
Li'l darling, I will not, no, no, I will not, I will not let you go
Because I love you and I want you and I got to have you more and more
No, darling, I will not, I will not let you go

[X]letra de I Love You
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
Love you, I love you, I love you
At the beach, in a pool
In a lunchroom at school
In a drive-in, child, in a car
It don't matter, darlin', where you are
I don't know how to show
How I feel, but it's real
Ain't no way I can say
Just how real that I feel, but
I wanna show you how I can please you
'Cause I want you and I need you
Gotta have you, gotta know you
Let me love you and let me show you that
- Reelin' and Rockin' 7:10
- My Ding-A-Ling 11:52
- Johnny B. Goode (& Closing)Ver letra 4:38
[X]letra de Johnny B. Goode (& Closing)
Deep down Louisiana close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
Who never ever learned to read or write so well
But he could play the guitar just like a ringing a bell
Go go
Go Johnny go
Go
Go Johnny go
Go
Go Johnny go
Go
Go Johnny go
Go
Johnny B. Goode
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
Oh, the engineers would see him sitting in the shade
Strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made
People passing by they would stop and say
Oh my that little country boy could play
Go go
Go Johnny go
Go
Go Johnny go
Go
Go Johnny go
Go
Go Johnny go
Go
Johnny B. Goode
His mother told him "Someday you will be a man,
And you will be the leader of a big old band.
Many people coming from miles around
To hear you play your music when the sun go down
Maybe someday your name will be in lights
Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight."
Go go
Go Johnny go
Go go go Johnny go
Go go go Johnny go
Go go go Johnny go
Go
