windy1 Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Mr Johnnie Johnson died today. He was 80 years old. For those of you that don't know, he was Chuck Berry's piano player. He has been credited with some of the earliest influences on rock music. He and Berry collaborated on most of Berry's hits. They were both from the St louis area, and have been mainstay's of our musical culture, both still playing in and around St Louis to this day. He will be greatly missed.

windy1 Posted April 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 I just wanted to add the song Johnny B Goode? That's the Johnny the song is talking about. Also Eric clapton called Johnson the best blues pianist ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
