Big Red Cars, Little White Chicks And The Chuck Berry Lick
Charles Shaar Murray, Cream, March 1972
It was singalong night at the Coventry Locarno. Difference was that it was Chuck Berry we were singing along with. The Brown Eyed Handsome Man with a thing about big red cars and little white chicks was in Britain, playing The Chuck Berry Lick. Charles Shaar Murray was there lapping it up.
