"Rock and Roll Music"---Beach Boys

It always amuses me that America's Top 40 Billboard Countdown chart, for the historic week that includes our Bicentennial date of July 4th, 1976, includes this Chuck Berry song in its Beach Boys version.

A song by the Beatles (who hadn't been together for a half dozen years by that date) was on that same chart.

It's as though people in the music industry made sure future generations looking-up the limited Bicentennial Top 40 Hits List would see at least SOME music by The Big Groups/The Important Musicians of our general times listed.
