Johnny B. Goode

Berry wrote it and recorded it at Chess Studio in Chicago, with Leonard and Phil Chess producing. Wikipedia's single page puts Berry on guitar and vocal, Lafayette Leake on piano, Willie Dixon on bass and Fred Below on drums, and credits Johnnie Johnson with inspiring the song though not playing on it. The single runs 2:39 against 2:41 on the album. It is partly autobiographical, about a guitar-playing country boy from the New Orleans area who may become famous; Berry said the original lyrics used a racial term for the protagonist that he changed to ensure radio play. It reached 8 on the Hot 100, 2 on the R&B sides chart and 11 on Cash Box in 1958, and is certified platinum in the US, UK, Spain and New Zealand. It also reached 9 on the Billboard rock and alternative songs chart in 2017.
