Marvin Berry and the Starlighters

Contest:
2023 Fictitious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame -- Round 1

We first saw Marvin Berry and Starlighters as they played the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance. After a set, Marvin Berry injured his hand with a screwdriver helping Marty McFly out of a trunk. McFly stepped in with the guitar during “Earth Angel”, but electrified the crowd by singing (ok, lip synching) Chuck Berry’s Johnny B. Good. Or was it really Chuck’s song as Marvin called his cousin Chuck and told him that he “found the new sound he was looking for”.
