Goode\u201d in Berkeley, California, in 1970; Paul McCartney\u2019s intimate 1999 rendition of \u201cBrown Eyed Handsome Man\u201d at the Cavern Club in Liverpool, where the Beatles got their start; and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers\u2019 take on \u201cCarol\u201d from 2011.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Along with all the covers, there will be plenty of footage of Berry, including several solo cuts (\u201cMaybellene,\u201d \u201cNadine\u201d and \u201cYou Can\u2019t Catch Me,\u201d among them) and performances with his one-time backing band, Billy Kingsley and Rockin\u2019 Horse (\u201cLet It Rock,\u201d \u201cSweet Little Sixteen\u201d). <i>Brown Eyed Handsome Man<\/i> will also boast several collaborations, including clips with Linda Ronstadt (\u201cBack in the USA\u201d), Keith Richards (\u201cCarol\u201d) and Bruce Springsteen (\u201cJohnny B. Goode\u201d).<\/p>\n<p><!-- .l-article-content__pull--left --> <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cIn 50 years of working with Chuck Berry, I saw him perform hundreds of times and there simply wasn\u2019t anyone like him,\u201d Berry\u2019s agent Dick Allen sais. \u201cHe was such a dynamic showman and loved performing for his fans. This program does a terrific job of showcasing him live in concert throughout a variety of eras of his career and it\u2019s a wonderful tribute to see these fellow legends performing his songs. Seeing it all together really drives home how many artists he influenced and that rock and roll wouldn\u2019t have been what it was if it wasn\u2019t for Chuck Berry.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"pmc-contextual-player\">\n<h3> Popular on Rolling Stone <\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/chuck-berry-brown-eyed-handsome-man-chuck-berry-pbs-947663\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Rolling Stone<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rare and classic footage of the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, Jimi Hendrix and more covering Chuck Berry tunes will be compiled in a new documentary tribute to the rock and roll legend, Brown Eyed Handsome Man, set to air February 29th on PBS.
