Sweet Little Sixteen
Chuck Berry Lyrics
They're really rockin' Boston
In Pittsburgh, PA
Deep in the heart of Texas
And 'round the 'Frisco Bay
All over St. Louis
And down in New Orleans
All the cats wanna dance with
Sweet Little Sixteen
Sweet Little Sixteen
About half a million
Famed autographs
Her wallet filled with pictures
She gets 'em one by one
Becomes so excited
Watch her, look at her run, boy
Oh, mommy, mommy
Please, may I go?
It's such a sight to see
Somebody steal the show
Oh, daddy, daddy
I beg of you
Whisper to mommy
It's all right with you
'Cause they'll be rockin' on Bandstand
In Philadelphia, PA
Deep in the heart of Texas
And 'round the 'Frisco Bay
All over St. Louis
Way down in New Orleans
All the cats wanna dance with
Sweet Little Sixteen
'Cause they'll be rockin' on Bandstand
Philadelphia, PA
Deep in the heart of Texas
And 'round the 'Frisco Bay
All over St. Louis
Way down in New Orleans
All the cats wanna dance with, ooh
Sweet Little Sixteen
Sweet Little Sixteen
She's got the grown up blues
Tight dresses and lipstick
She's sportin' high heel shoes
Oh, but tomorrow morning
She'll have to change her trend
And be sweet sixteen
And back in class again
But they'll be rockin' in Boston
Pittsburgh, PA
Deep in the heart of Texas
And 'round the 'Frisco Bay
Way out in St. Louis
Way down in New Orleans
All the cats wanna dance with
Sweet Little Sixteen

“Describe Elvis Presley? He was the greatest who ever was, is or ever will be”
- Chuck Berry
“Blacks didn’t have the air-waves Elvis had. He delivered what he obtained beautifully.”
- Chuck Berry
“A lot of people have accused Elvis of stealing the black man’s music, when in fact, almost every black solo entertainer copied his stage mannerisms from Elvis.”
- Jackie Wilson
“By Elvis singing my Tutti Frutti, he only made it bigger, and made me bigger”
- Little Richard
“Elvis was God-given, there’s no other explanation. A Messiah comes around every few thousand years, and Elvis was it this time.”
- Little Richard
“Elvis had an influence on everybody with his musical approach. He broke the ice for all of us.”
- Al Green
“Elvis Presley was the sweetest, most humble and nicest man you’d want to know.”
- Muhammad Ali
“He was an integrator, Elvis was a blessing. They wouldn’t let black music through. Elvis opened the door for black music.”
- Little Richard
“Without Elvis, all the rest of us, combined, couldn’t have made Rock’n’Roll.”
-Buddy Holly
“No Elvis - no Rock’n’Roll.”
-John Lennon
“I wasn’t just a fan, I was his brother. He said I was good and I said he was good; we never argued about that. Elvis was a hard worker, dedicated, and God loved him... I love him and hope to see him in Heaven. There’ll never be another like that soul brother.”
- James Brown
“On a scale of one to ten, I would rate Elvis eleven”
- Sammy Davis Jr, a personal friend of Elvis for 20 years.

Chuck's guitar is not plugged in and he is lip-synching, but he did all his classic moves.

@Bruce Scott 1958...

@catmam916 he wasn't playing an electric guitar genius
Pat Brennan
He wrote his own songs, he wrote his own lyrics, he payed guitar very well. Sounds like the real king of rock and roll to me..
Benny Hill
@ITILII ...Proof?
Oak Chinks
@Kanye Twitty not true, Lennon said before Cliff Richard there was nothing worth listening to in British music. And not before Elvis there was nothing.

@WoioW oioW There is only one King and that's Elvis, and yes Chuck Berry and Little Richard had a tremendous influence but it was Elvis that mad rock and roll acceptable pushing the latter to stardom, he was the catalyst if you will, and that does not take anything away from other artists like say Buddy Holly for instance.
