Chuck Berry releases a new single, Johnny B. Goode, on Chicago-based Chess Records in the USA. Not only will the song become an all-time rock'n'roll standard covered by hundreds of artists, but it will win many awards including being No1 in the Rolling Stone magazine list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Songs Of All Time.
