Who sings Johnny B Good?

The version I'm thinking of sounds like a cross between Chuck Berry and Jimi Hendrix. Think of Jimi's guitar with Chuck's voice.
Anyone know? I think I saw it in a movie or somesuch, but it was a jammin version.

Chuck Berry sings the song. I've never heard anyone else other than Michael J. Fox sing it.

Maybe the song is sung slightly differently on his different albums. The version on The Millenium Collection sounds a bit better then the version on Rock n Roll Rareties....
I'll keep checkin though.

This may be against the forum rules, but can you upload the song (or a piece of it) so I can hear it?

If by "a movie" you mean "Back to the Future", then it shouldn't be too hard to find.
 
Was Johnny B. Goode a highly regarded rock n' roll song before Back to the Future? I ask because I know it wasn't *that* big of a hit when it came out as a single in the 1960s. Did the movie rediscover the song like Wayne's World did to Bohemian Rhapsody?
 
The only other person I know that does it besides Chuck Berry is Judas Priest.

I am sure there are others though. It doesen't exactly sound like chuck berry. 😉
 
As far as I know, the version in the Back to the Future movie was Chuck Berry. I've heard him sing it, and it sounded almost identical. Dunno if it's a particular version that I have, but it sounds good to me.
