Without a doubt, Chuck Berry is the single most important, far-reaching artist in the history of Rock & Roll. He is the most significant figure, regardless of race, religion or color that emerged in this genre. In his music, Berry took country, blues, and rock, with a daring witty teen attitude and melded them all together. He has influenced virtually every rock musician in the past century.
As the first artist to enter the Rock Music Hall of Fame, Chuck Berry brought popularity to a genre that was well considered the music of the devil in its early beginnings. His music is smooth and simple and has now progressed to be considered what Shakespeare did in his time for the canonical play. He relieved young people from their shackles and got them vibrating to the rhythm of his guitar strings.
Berry directly influenced some of the greatest legends to come from the Beach Boys, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and the Animals to countless others who covered his songs. Chuck Berry has rightfully earned the title of “The Father of Rock & Roll”
"There's only one true king of Rock and Roll. His name is Chuck Berry." -Stevie Wonder-

Sterling Morrison, member of the group Velvet Underground, said: “I liked Chuck Berry as a guitar player. But I liked him better as a lyricist. There was a lot more depth there, and the rhythm of his lyrics was fabulous.”
“My mama said, ‘You and Elvis are pretty good, but you’re no Chuck Berry.'” – Jerry Lee Lewis
At the time, most of the lyrics from early rock songs lingered on pop habits of endless modifications on self-evident romantic themes. Berry lyrics transcended and argued on the youth culture. His lyrics helped break sexual taboos and rebel against authority.

Chuck Berry single-handedly shaped the destiny of music. He paved the way for rock and roll and for the rest of the artists to come. Not only in sound but also in his attitude. If one song can sum up Chuck Berry,it would be his famously known single “Johnny B Goode”. The groundbreaking guitar riffs, rhythms, and solo are timeless. This song is like an autobiography of the man himself. Once it hits your ears, every part of your body will want to get up and dance freely... and we encourage much to do so.
