  • "Back in the U.S.A." is a song by Chuck Berry, which was first issued in 1959 as a single a-side and on Berry's 1962 album More Chuck Berry, . The song's lyrics were supposedly written based upon Chuck returning to the USA following a trip to Australia and witnessing the living standards of Australian Aborigines. It was used as a basis for The Beatles' parody song "Back in the U.S.S.R.". MC5 later entitled their second release Back in the USA in honor of Chuck Berry. This album included a cover of "Back in the U.S.A.". The song received its biggest commercial success when Linda Ronstadt included it in her double platinum album Living in the USA. The single reached #16 on the Billboard 100 Pop singles chart. Ronstadt performed the song with Berry and Keith Richards in the feature film, Hail! Hail! Rock 'n' Roll.. As a lasting testament to the song's durability, Chris Robinson and Rich Robinson of The Black Crowes performed this song during Berry's induction into the Kennedy Center Honors in 2000. (en)
