705 Chuck Berry (1926-2017) “You Never Can Tell” 1964

The scandal and jail time of the previous years “devastated Berry. He had fallen out with his family, and was left with a strong distrust for the legal system as well as for the media that had hounded him. Once jovial and relaxed, he was now bitter and mistrustful. Yet in the end the scandal ruined neither his family life nor his career. Soon after his release…he began touring and recording again. While in prison, he had written a spate of new songs, some of which became hits in 1964 and 1965. Among these were … ‘You Never Can Tell’” (Contemporary Musicians, 2002).
