For today, I wanted to share with you “Johnny Be Goode“, the timeless Surf Rock classic track recorded in 1957 by the American legend “Chuck Berry“, covered here in a version recorded in 1966 by the Turkish beat cover/band “Mavi Işıklar” (“Blue Lights” in Turkish langage), founded in 1964 and disbanded in 1970.

The band, considered as “Turkish Beatles” because of their appearances, was composed from 1962 to 1966 with :

Nejat Toksoy : Vocals ;

Zamir Manisa : Drums ;

Çetin Yavuzdoğan : Bass guitar ;

Metin Yavuzdoğan : Piano, Keyboards ;

Cihat Günay : Guitar ;
