Subject: RE: Christmas Fun Quiz Question 8.5

Message Detail:
Like Alan mentioned, Chuck Berry took live performance as a job. That is understandable. Artist were sent on the road, by others, to promote their song(s). Some, I'm sure, didn't feel like putting on a show, they just wanted to make music.

As for charts; Payola with human intervention, counting record sales and radio airplay, I could care less what a chart says. If I found songs enjoyable, they were a hits! Like, some of the girl groups weren't old enough to tour! If they were, I'm sure their songs would have charted higher! Some records were poorly promoted, too.
Anyway, I'm sounding like a broken record!

Have to run, Jim! Enjoy the Holidays!

Take care!!!

Best,
John
