On Mar. 31, 1958, rock and roll singer Chuck Berryreleased "Johnny B. Goode," a song that has become a timeless anthem that defined an entire era of music. The track was a huge commercial hit upon its release, peaking at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot R&B Sides chart and No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100. Recently, it was voted as one of the "25 greatest rock songs of all time" by Entertainment Weekly.
