Berry, Chuck - It Wasn't Me Lyrics

man whoever produced this version..and added those annoying horns...did'nt know what they were doin

Oh no. It Never is

Behold the true king of rock n roll!

We picked up your version of "I Hear You Knockin" for one of our uke songs here at the Home. pop

Great job, Berry is cool.

Who's here from the prime add?

the boy from Memphis was a poser!

Prime delivered you here, yes? ;)

this cat was rock -n- roll hands down!!

I'm here because of an Amazon Prime Commercial. How weird is that ?

@ urbanmaxi

It's very weird, lame, trendy and sad as hell, that you have the ability to discover great musicians of the past this day in age, but won't, unless mainstream media is shoving it into your ears to make you feel like it is relevant listening.

Hope that answered your question as well as enlightened you to your dependant tendencies!

Is it just me or do 90% of his songs start the same? Still a great artist

During the fifties, what got my friends and me into Rock and Roll was Bill Haley and the Comets and soon after, Chuck Berry.

I love it but it's the same arrangement again lol

Love it cb.

Heard this on a commercial, hadn't heard it before

Surely the date on this record is incorrect? 1943? Wouldn't it have been in the 50's?

@ Kory Andrews

That's not the year.

That is the cataloging number of this single for, Chess Records.

@El Steve-O Radio™ ah! Thanks for the info man!

I love this song ❤️ I found it on YouTube after hearing it first on a commercial. Where has it been all my life❤️❤️❤️

@ Dottie Hedrick

It's been around. It's been around for [55 years]!

But unfortunately, you're like most of the people recently posting on here who can't discover great music of times past by one's own curiosity, unless mainstream media is forcing it into your ears, and making you feel like it is relevant listening just 'cause it is now broadcasted to the vast.

Pathetic!

El Steve-O Radio™ Now I know.

@ Dottie Hedrick

Yes... yes you do.

And I can 100% guarantee you, you haven't and won't look up more Chuck Berry songs and feel the same gratification with others, since it didn't materialize in a: commercial, ad, television series or movie.

In 2020 Amazon commercial blessed me 🙌

Chuck Berry. That brother could really play that box. Thanks for the post!

Who else comes here because of the Amazon Prime commercial? Well, that's why I'm here but the funny part is that I also believe that a white boy made that song (not racist). But I love that music so bad from the commercial that I said let me come here on my favorite platform.

Timeless!

Lots of people had pieces of Rock and Roll in their music but Chuck Berry was the one who synthesized everything and created what we know as Rock and Roll -- his lyrics and his guitar playing really defined and expanded the genre. There's a reason everyone did Chuck Berry songs even in the 50s. It's because Chuck's version of Rock and Roll was THE version of Rock and Roll. I always refer to him as the First Genius of Rock and Roll because he's the only one of the original rockers who had a vision of the music. He saw that it could be used to describe the teenage experience, that it could be more than just nonsense lyrics, and when others thought it might be a fad, Chuck wrote Rock and Roll's first anthems celebrating it and declaring it here to stay. If Rock and Roll was a car, Elvis would be the shiny, attractive chassis that gets you to walk onto the lot, but when you lift the hood it's all Chuck Berry that's making it go vroooooooommmmm!

I came from the amazon commercial

"I met a German girl in England who was going to school in France....we danced in Mississippi at an Alpha Kappa Dance...…".....talk about sly......this wry and ironic line says volumes about what was percolating beneath the "father knows best and your hit parade' surface of 1950s America

Really well expressed and accurate, to say the least.

This is a good heard it this in a commericial yesterday.

Who's here after watching 2 hour grocery delivery from Prime commercial?

Granddaddy

Chuck Berry>Elvis

Chuck Berry. An all time great!!

This songs sounds like the vocals are dubbed on top of some other song. Doesn't sound quite right.

For all the trendy douches who are now just barely coming upon this song by way of force-fed relevancy, mainstream media (Amazon commercial) and believing this was released in 1943... it is not the date! It is the cataloging number for this single from, Chess Records.

Now be gone from here, leave this for the true fans to post meaningful comments, and go get anxiously prepared to go post on the next ad, series, movie and commercial song to feel apart of: "I'm here too from...!"

🖕🖕 🖕🖕

Fuck off

Way to gate keep. However and whenever someone finds Chuck Berry is unimportant, as long as they find him.

@ dbgietzen & Revolt Arcade... https://youtu.be/MFFAwwqSMGk

Charles Anderson Berry , it don't get no better . R I P. Chuck.

Heard a little of this song in a commercial yesterday, and I went to check it out here is YouTube; very glad to find it all there. But why does the label say "1943?" He would have been about 17 at the time. And the discographies don't show any recordings before 1955.

I heard this in a commercial for Amazon!

This was 1965 not 1943 !

Freaked me out when I saw 43 for the date ! lol 1965 more like it (: This was not cutting edge but old school at that time.

This song was released in 1965 not 43.

Thankyou prime for bringing me here

It sounds like the Muddy Waters blues band playing behind Berry. Can someone verify that?

francis connor I cant verify on this song But I did some research and They were with chess records for a while before suing them in the 60s. So it very well could be them but I cant find out if it was.
I dont feel like erasing this all But I did some more research on the album and no one from muddy waters band was mentioned.

The other guitarist is Mike Bloomfield and the harmonica is Paul Butterfield,both from the Paul Butterfield Blues Band.This was recorded in 1965 at Chess in Chicago.

This is the start of rock n roll. This can be in any current movie it’s timeless.

Cannot believe they are using this on a tv Commercial!

I don't know this one, it is totally awesome!! 👍👍👌👌

This is a nice song by Chuck Berry.

Anyone else here because of the Prime commercial? I swear I thought id heard all of Chuck Berrys music but ive never heard this one. Freakin Awesome!!!

had to search for it after the commercial.... too cool!

yes....the commercial made me do it...in fact i dont even know what the commercial was for...just remember some little kid with a cake under a table.

@deiseldummy lol I know right?

Yes me 🖐🏾

Me👋🏻

Amazon Prime!!♥️😊

Who was playing the harp on this..?

Where exactly do you hear the harp?? Ty😊

Mary Hernandez. “Harp” is one of many slang terms for harmonica (usually in the Blues genre). So that’s what I was referring to. Not an actual stringed harp.

@groovr22 oh ok. Thank you!!😏🙂

The harmonica is Paul Butterfield and the other guitar player is Mike Bloomfield.If you aren't familiar with those names you need to check them out,

Reid Smith Totally familiar... Didn’t realize they were playing on this. Awesome..! Thanks for the info.!

Chuck Berry was a genius

I am here because of the tv... i heard it ,looked for it listened to it 6 times in a row....its 7am in vegas... i would like to know who played with him on this cut,, i kinda heard jhonnie johnson... classic, only chuck could come up with,"cold,tired,hungry looking for bread,the lady took him in and fed him breakfast in bed". Thank you chuck berry for the real rock n roll.

Vinyl 45's were the best brings back memories

On top of crafting rock and roll he was the king of lyrical content.. must’ve been some other body, uh uh baby, wasn’t me 😎

Funny how advertising "experts" claim to covet the 18-35 demographic, but continue to use 50s and 60s music these days. Chuck Berry, Roger Miller, Johnny Cash, Clarence "Frogman" Henry, The Four Tops, the list goes on and on. It is just good music!

that commercial brought me here...the sound is timeless and gets the toe tapping'

and probably cheaper overall than hiring new talent......

@Evil Rev new talent 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤪

Damn right it's great music. The crap coming out today is just that...crap. Then again look at the musically challenged producers and recording company executives feeding the public nothing but shit and hog calling and labeling it "music".

Who’s here cause of the commercial

Marisol davalos Amazon??

I was just married at 21-years old. ..and won tickets to the roots of rock and roll concert in Pittsburgh pa...my wife didn't want to go..so itook my buddy Craig. .we drank and smoked weed the whole way down to the Stanley theater...when we got there it was already started..but Chuck Berry was the closer..I remember him singing this song and johnny be good and about 10 others...when we left and started wakking to the patking garage..we met chuck berry outside..he shook our hands..and the next day i bought a old beat up gibson sonex 180 standard....started playing it with a musicmaster 15 watt amp...best move i ever made was to see chuck berry in person!!!

Check out his strip down version on rarities.

Chuck Berry often imitated but never duplicated. When it came to being the best It Was Him.

True king of rock and roll

@vince cotter I agree. Chuck Berry is no. 1 and Elvis is no. 2.

Legalize prostitution!!!!

Heard this on tv and when I heard that opening guitar riff I started singing “deep down in Louisiana...” thinking it was Johnny B Goode. Looked like a total idiot lol what are ya gonna do

Amazon brought me here

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

2020 and still, It wasn't me babe.. Gotta give it to Keith, he knows genius when he hears it!! Love them both with such rock in their souls!!

Bring this back, and you can keep your malformed, no instrument playing, plagiarized lyrics and notes rap music or hip hop, I’d take Chucky Boy all day, he was pure talent all way down to his knees!

2020 - and I’m still listening to Chuck.

Love this💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽

FUCK elvis! HAIL HAIL SIR CHUCK BERRY KING OF ROCK AND ROLL!!!!!

A bad ass !

this was 1943?? isnt that like 10 years too early?

ribble simpkin The song was released in 1965. 1943 refers to the recording catalog number.

🤦🏻‍♂️😝

It wasnt me either!

i kept hearing this damn song on a hotel commercial for tv lol, i love berry though and this is another rocker, i havent heard it before in it's entirity until now! let er rock!

sondra york Just heard this too on Tv!!! Love it💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻

I heard this song on TV and I had to find out if in fact was Chuck Berry and it is. I am going to add this song to my iPod.

I never heard this song before Amazon prime commercial but 1 second into commercial I knew it was the king of rock and roll Chuck Berry

The best of all time.

2020 and Amazon made me find it😎👏👏👏👏

@ Jace Woods

No one cares you trendy douche!

Discover music by your own will, not what mainstream media forces you to feel what is relevant listening just because it is now broadcasted to the vast!

🖕😎🖕

@El Steve-O Radio™ Somebody feelin inadequate Don't @me you irrelevant piece of 💩 WTF do you know bout trendy

Chuck is the true king of rock and roll. Of course they can't give him that title because he is black.

TRUTH! ❤️

🤦🏻‍♂️

This is why the deffination of rock and roll says see also Chuck berry

"They" don't have the authority to proclaim the true KING. "We" (the Rock fans) are blind to the color of someone's skin. "We" love this guy!

Chuck was the Jimi of RocknRoll


Or the other way round. Whatever.



No Elvis, Jerry Lee or even Bo ever came up with stuff like this. Killer stuff

Me when the last pizza slice is gone

🤪🤣👊🏻

Hi my name is Donald Trump, for those of you who don’t know me I am your President. one day shortly after I beat Hillary Clinton in a landslide electoral victory , well I was standing by like a regular innocent bystander and all of a sudden they had the FBI on my case , just like that and for no good reason ,

Democratic Rep. Ted Lieu says a lawyer for Republican Rep. Devin Nunes threatened to sue him if he did not apologize for saying last month that Nunes conspired with an associate of Rudy Giuliani, a revelation that comes after Nunes has admitted to speaking with the associate.

“Devin, I’m adding to my statement: ‘Your pants are on fire,’” Lieu added.

He lost by 2 million votes genius 🙄 He won the electoral college vote

And Satan speaks

@boopoopies and he will win again

@SOUTHPAW731 thank G D , please G D. he's to presidents what chuck and the beatles are to rock'n'roll! the very best. " keep goin with donald ,keep goin with donald,keep goin with president donald trump aye " (pitch up )-calypso and pop singer - 2020--hes still doin it
btw,communism is sh t,so is the donkey crap party,and the very very fake news conglomerate ✌

I’d buy that record from you.

This is so good it kills me. I love everything about it. I literally laugh out loud when I hear it. Wow.

Shoulda seen him dancing some mean choreography while singing & strumming! To bad this was just audio.

first time hearing this version...from Chuck Berry. ...Ive only know the George THorogood cover for 30 plus years.....George just too it up a notch and put it on Turbo..lol

Esta buena canción la compuso CHUCK BERRY y la canto en el año 1965

I love him.

In my opinion Chuck is the real founder of rock n roll. Much respect to the man from Memphis but Chuck was and remains a real rocker.

Chuck knicked he’s main riff from Louis Jordon and solos from more!

That is not an opinion it is a fact

Louis Jordan

@Joe Johnson yes, that was how it was done. Pat Boone also covered Black music. Then later Bette Midler and Gladys Knight recorded Wind Beneath My Wings (feeling my ancestral, generational rage being triggered) however Bettes' was associated with the movie Beaches and Gladys was left in the dust. smdh

Memphis bailey?

Again. So true and well done.

1943 is the record number m8,,not sue of the year,,would guess early 60s

Good point

Suprisingly, Chess records where this was recorded, is still around.

65 not 43

Wasn't Chess records the one that the movie Cadillac Records was loosely based on?

1943? Are you kidding me?

could have been since he gave his first public performance in 1941 while still in HS...must have been before 1944 when he was arrested for armed robbery .

Sorry. As much as I'd LOVE to, I can't buy it. That HAS to be a misprint. He didn't start recording for Chess Records until 1955.

I don't know why I didn't scroll down the comments... :) The YouTuber that posted this says it's the record # (catalog#), not the year. I guess no one figured it would be confusing, 50 years later, once posted on something called, "the Internet". :)

From the year 1965.

So good.

This is my favorite song by
Chuck....

Super trio berry bloomfield and butterfield!!!!!

GREAT SONG!!!!!
