Favorite "unknown" Chuck Berry song

"Tulane" - from the LP "Back Home"- released in 1970!

Honorable mention to "Down The Road Apiece" - also covered wonderfully by The Rolling Stones on the LP "Rolling Stones Now", even if they didn't get all the words right. :)

1. "Havana Moon"
Had it on a vinyl 2-record "greatest hits" collection on Chess.

Man, I gotta find an MP3 of that...

5. A very unusual song for Chuck.
Sings it in a mock Cuban accent. And the song is a hell of a lot more mellow than his hits ever were!
