Johnnie Johnson filed lawsuit against Chuck Berry
Pianist Johnnie Johnson has filed a lawsuit claiming that he co-wrote and is entitled to royalties earned by many of Chuck Berry's early rock'n'roll anthems, including "Roll Over
Beethoven", "No Particular Place To Go", and "Rock And Roll Music".
Billboard Bulletin reports that the suit, filed Wednesday in U.S.
District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, names Berry and
his publishing firm, Isalee Music Co. It lists 52 songs for which
Johnson claims he wrote music, while Berry wrote lyrics.
Johnson seeks actual damages and "all of the profits realized" by
Berry and Isalee, in an amount to be determined at trial. In the
suit, Johnson - immortalized in Berry's song "Johnnie B. Goode" -
claims that Berry "took advantage" of him as he battled alcoholism
and led him to believe that Berry was entitled to sole ownership of
the songs. Berry later copyrighted all the songs for himself.
"I'm so surprised that a lawsuit could come down 45 years later. I
just find it mind-blowing", Berry's booking agent, Dick Alen, told
Billboard Bulletin. "When I spoke to Chuck, he said, "I'm just
disappointed that Johnnie would do something like this".
The suit comes just four days before Berry, 74, is to receive a
Kennedy Center Honor from President Clinton.
