Chuck Berry was the cousin of Marvin Berry. He recorded "Johnny B. Goode", though was inspired by Marty McFly's playing of the song as it was "that new sound" that he had been looking for.

This created an ontological paradox, although others disagree.

[edit] Behind the scenes

While Marvin Berry was fictitious, Chuck Berry, was one of the pioneers of rock music, and had his first Top 40 hit earlier in 1955 with Maybellene. Though Berry wrote Johnny B. Goode in 1955, it would not be released until three years later. Some commentators were offended by the idea that "Marty the white kid teaches Chuck Berry how to make blues-influenced black rock and roll music" ^[1]. Fans have pointed out that, by the time Marvin has gotten Chuck to "listen to this", Marty has departed from Johnny B. Goode, has stopped singing, and has moved into a heavy metal jam of his own. When Marty has finished, it's clear that Marvin is no longer on the phone with Chuck.
