The legendary singer Chuck Berry was
on the 19th of January in Istanbul. It was a concert
organized by Bronx Production and our fan club
ElvisTurk was invited, too. We also had given to some of our
members free tickets. The venue was the Hilton Convention Center and it was
standing room only. We were glad to see many of our members
there and
to talk to some famous music people of our country.
The evening began with the group called Soul
Stuff as the warming act. Afterwards, Chuck Berry appeared with
his musicians and showed
that nothing has changed when it is all about rocking. The show
was good, better than expected if you consider his age. The audience welcomed the songs
-some very well known by Elvis fans- like Johhny B. Goode and
Memphis, Tennessee... He also sang many other hits and for a
while he invited some girls from the audience to the stage for
dancing. He finished his show and did not appear for an encore.
So, another legendary singer (last year Jerry Lee Lewis) was in
Istanbul.
