Yes, Chuck Berry was indeed the man that gave us the duck walk.

[turnerdan]

"No Particular Place to Go" is another great Chuck song

[roberttreborable]

I could see how much you both loved chuck's performance, as we do, Great Music id for all generations...

[rogerajohnson]

Roll Over Beethoven is a good one by him. Chuck Berry was a classy guy. He knew how to put on a great show. He had a sound of his own.

Thank you for this! He helped invent rock & roll. He wrote all his songs. He invented duck walk, using the guitar the way he did, and he’s rapping the verses. Yes, he walked into Chess Records, played this song, but called it “Ida Red”, and they signed him on the spot. The Chess house band had Willie Dixon on bass, and Chuck brought the great Johnny Johnson in to play piano on his early records. “Too Much Monkey Business”, “Roll Over Beethoven”, “Around and Around”, “Nadine”, and he released a very good album just before he died a couple years ago called ‘Chuck’. He was 90 years old, I think.

"Hail! Hail! Rock 'n' Roll" -- Chuck Berry -- Legend! He set the model for rock guitar players. A native of St. Louis, Missouri, he died in 2017 at the age of 91. When you're ready for more from him check out some of these classics -- "School Days", "Rock'n'Roll Music", "You Never Can Tell", "No Particular Place to Go", "Promised Land", "Around And Around", "Back In The U.S.A.", and "Little Queenie" among others. Between 1962 and 1964 Berry spent a year and a half in prison for -- in the parlance of the times -- transporting an underage woman across state lines for illicit purposes. During his absence from the scene, up and coming bands like The Beach Boys, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones sustained interest in his music and he returned the favor after he got out by dropping the albums St. Louis to Liverpool (1964) and Chuck Berry in London (1965), the former a shout out to The Beatles, the later a shout out to The Rolling Stones. The guitar playing on his 1965 cover of "St. Louis Blues", written by W.C. Handy in 1915, sounds like what the Stones sounded like a couple years later. Check it out when you can.

Chuck Berry is the TRUE king of
Rock N Roll.

Elvis is the king of gospel.

Chuck invented the Duck Walk alright, Chuck was a great pioneer. Though it is great to see the other who took and ran with it keeping that spirit of performance alive in Rock.

Chuck Berry credits his guitar playing to Sister Rosseta Tharp. Check out her song Didn't it Rain! He adopted her style.

I saw him play this in the late 60's in southern California in Long Beach while I was still in High school ❤

[citygrrl]

Angus Young-AC/DC- states his duck walk is a huge homage to Chuck Berry. Glad you love it- Chuck influenced so many guitarists!

[mahatmakane]

If you listen to his stuff you can hear his riffs and chords in many contemporary artists' work. Chuck lives! The real king of rock 'n roll.

This live TV event was in my country (Belgium) - Love Chuck Berry. His lyrics were really great and cheeky, and he inspired the British invasion in the 60s. His music, attitude and the way you handle a guitar.

The first concert I ever saw was Chuck Berry, 1964 (I was a sophomore in high school) at Kiel Auditorium in St. Louis. Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs opened for him. . St. Judes Children's Hospital had a fund raising contest where high school kids were asked to sell Wonder Bread door to door to get donations to the hospital. Kids who sold enough loaves got to see the concert for free. I guess I sold enough loaves. Comedian Danny Thomas ( he had his own TV show at that time) was the host. Chuck generally didn't tour with a band, he just picked up local musicians wherever he was playing. A friend of mine played bass in a local band and Chuck hired him to play bass for the concert. It was a great show and the first of hundreds of concerts I've enjoyed in my 73 years of life. My favorite Chuck Berry song was Nadine. All the local bands covered it, as well as Maybelline.

We need more of this music in today’s world…

[mrod]

I was 3 years old. I remember it well.

Memphis Tennessee is one of my favorites from Chuck...♡

My name is Dave and today is my birthday Nov. 1st 1949. So I grew up listening to Mr. CHuck Berry and others. Since you like Chuck you might want to check out Wilson Pickett a big star in his own right. He was from a similar time frame as Chuck Berry. I especially like his rendition of Midnight Hour & Mustang Sally. Enjoy!

[taradevine]

I used to play this 45 over and over. Love him!!!

Every rock guitar player owes a lot to Chuck. The first guitar hero. Wrote the songs, played great bluesy guitar. He wrote for that new phenomenon, teenagers.
