Musical Interlude: Johnny B. Goode (1977)

 From season 5 of Happy Days:

Suzi Quatro debuts as Leather Tuscadero, whose sister, Pinky (Roz Kelly), had been written off after her debut a year earlier. A reformed thief turned musician, Leather makes the scene with a cover of Chuck Berry's legendary "Johnny B. Goode", aided by Richie & Potsie (Ron Howard & Anson Williams) on guitar, and Ralph (Donny Most) on the piano. Don't think the guys were actually playing, though, but, rather, miming.

Of course, it's a truncated version on air.


Richie's sister, Joanie (Erin Moran), would join Leather's group, though we don't see her in the above clip.
