Charles Edward Anderson Berry was born 100 years ago today. He’s better known to the world as Chuck Berry, and is one of the most influential musicians in the history of what we call rock music today.
With his simple and straight to the point lyrics, Chuck Berry has been called the Ernest Hemingway of rock ‘n’ roll. Numerous of his songs have become standards in rock, and have been covered by countless artists through the years. He’s also a very influential guitarist, inspiring among many others Keith Richards, Angus Young and Slash.
Chuck Berry passed away in 2017 at the age of 90. Cheers to the memory of one of the true greats in the history of rock ‘n’ roll ![]()
