Chuck Berry - 1972-03-29 - London, UK (FM)

In May 1970, Howlin' Wolf traveled to Olympic Sound Studios in London, England, to record songs for The London Howlin' Wolf Sessions. The album was released in August 1971 and peaked at number 28 on Billboard magazine's R&B Albums chart and number 79 on the Billboard 200. Inspired by Wolf's success, Muddy Waters recorded his own London Sessions album in December 1971, and then Chuck Berry Berry did the same in 1972. While in London, Berry played a number of live shows, including one  on February 3, 1972, portions of which were included on the London Sessions album. Ironically, the single from the album an edited version of the novelty song My Ding A Ling, became the only number 1 hit for a man who reached the top 40 on at least a dozen occasions with songs such as Promised Land, Maybellene and of course, Johnny B. Goode This FM broadcast captures Chuck during that same London visit, on March 29, 1972, 42 years ago today.
