Legendary Rock & Roll Hall Of Famers, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, have released a new lyric video for the classic hit, "I Love Rock 'N Roll". Check it out below. March 20, 2022 marked the monumental 40th anniversary of "I Love Rock 'N Roll" soaring to #1 on the Billboard charts and remaining there for 7 weeks.
Professor Of Rock recently released the new video below, along with the following message:
"Coming up, the evolution of a universal rock standard that was rescued from obscurity by a 17-year old future icon, who happened to see a live performance of the song while watching TV in a hotel room in London. Joan Jett was touring with The Runaways when she saw the Arrows perform 'I Love Rock 'N Roll' on TV. Joan made a pact to cover the song no matter what. She knew it would be a #1 hit. It took 6 years after her band rejected it, and it was released as a B-side not once but 2 times. When she finally covered it as Joan Jett And The Blackhearts, including Ricky Byrd on guitar, it was a #1 smash, topping the Billboard Hot 100 for 6 weeks. The story of perseverance and destiny is NEXT on Professor Of Rock."
