Chuck Berry

Chuck Berry, born on 18 October 1926 in St. Louis, Missouri, is one of the greatest pioneers of rock 'n' roll. As a guitarist, singer and, above all, songwriter, he shaped its sound and vocabulary like almost no one else. He grew up in the black neighbourhood known as the Ville and came from a respected family: his father was a contractor, his mother a teacher and college graduate.

Berry's style combined the earthy blues of Muddy Waters, the drive of Louis Jordan's rhythm 'n' blues and the smooth singing of Nat King Cole with touches of country music. On the guitar he looked to T-Bone Walker, Charlie Christian and Carl Hogan. At the turn of 1953 the pianist Johnnie Johnson invited him to perform at the Cosmopolitan Club in East St. Louis, the start of a long collaboration.

In 1955 Berry signed with Chess Records. His first single, Maybellene, stormed to the top of the R&B charts, while the flip side, Wee Wee Hours, revealed him as a fine blues performer. Immortal classics followed, such as Roll Over Beethoven, School Days, Rock And Roll Music, Sweet Little Sixteen and Johnny B. Goode, in which his sharp riffs and witty lyrics captured the spirit of 1950s teenagers.

With his distinctive guitar sound and his famous "duck walk", Berry became a stage legend. Early on he took control of his own management and copyrights. His influence on rock music is immense: in their early years both the Beatles and the Rolling Stones had several of his songs in their repertoire. Chuck Berry died on 18 March 2017 in St. Charles, Missouri.
