Johnny B. Goode / Around and Around
by Chuck Berry
An absolutely foundational pillar of rock and roll, featuring arguably the most famous electric guitar introduction in history, famously adapted from Louis Jordan's 'Ain't That Just Like a Woman'. The semi-autobiographical lyrics tell the story of a poor country boy destined for guitar stardom, though Berry altered the original lyric from 'colored boy' to 'country boy' to ensure radio play. The track was notably included on the Voyager Golden Record launched into deep space.
