one of the most influential rock songs ever Johnny B Goode by Chuck Berry uses the intro from the Louis Jordan song Ain't That Just Like A Woman from 1946. and Chuck also used tons of other variations on that part for intros to other classics

compare the first few seconds

not saying its an evil rip off or anything but its just interesting and most people dont know

I was talking about what Paul wrote in his biographies in 97 and 2000

Surfin USA? Chuck Berry is credited since the 60s and always received royalties

It was basically a sample

no mention of amen break

Based on the thread tho, you think all those fans heard Surfin USA and thought “yea this is all Chuck Berry” lmfao. Bink is credited on devil in a new dress too

Mas Que Nada, made famous internationally by Sergio Mendes in the 60s (and then again in the 00s with Black Eyed Peas) is a cover of a Jorge Ben Jor song

I know when bro got out the lab he knew he had one too

Ain’t gon lie brother no one was really doing that, at least not to that extant most ppl believe it’s all Mike which adds to the legacy

I think the tone shifted over the years but there’s a definite opinion from “real music fans” that MJ was just the dancing man.

I mean, Scott Storch and Mel-Man basically produced 2001. And even though Mel-Man is on the credits, his name is behind Dre like he's the helper. Dre should've been credited as nothing more then executive producer on 2001.

I believe it

You could hardly pick two artists who started respectfully derivative and then developed their own entire thing 100 times over

Was never shooting at them I promise them white boys don't need saving hahaha

Chuck was till peaking at the height of the British Invasion lol and he enjoyed the attention and money it brought him

They did not give him credit at first to be fair

Chuck titled his last classic album from '64 St Louis to Liverpool to cash in on the Beatles popularity and performed with Lennon and other Brits pretty quickly. Pretty safe to say he saw his influence as inspiration and not like he got ripped off. And he was as much of a household name as the Beach Boys were in them early mid '60s.

most people think Devil in a new dress is produced by mike dean and all he did was add a guitar solo

Ight Elric, you proved your point bro lol. Thank you for the information

Kanye getting all the credit for Numbers on the Board

Just sayin

Ray Charles the only og black performer that l've seen throw actual shade at (good) white performers he considered rip offs and that was fair enough cause Elvis did lame ass versions of his songs. Little Richard says he thanked God for Elvis every day however.

Thomas Bangalter of Daft Punk and DJ Falcon actually making the song Call on Me

Oh yea no doubt, i genuinely didn’t know the chuck story and yea Ray hate that dude with a passion

Elvis dropped such a pointless cover of I Got A Woman right in the middle of his god level run of singles in 1956 ill never understand why

Heartbreak Hotel, Dont Be Cruel, Hound Dog, I Got A Woman , Blue Suede Shoes, Love Me Tender lol why
