I am so disappointed that Chuck Berry never got the credit he deserved. We are constantly learning and today I learned who the true King of Rock and Roll is.
He couldn’t be more right. My favorite line is “Flying across the desert in a TWA, I saw a woman walking across the sand. She was walking 30 miles en route to Bombay to meet a brown eyed handsome man”
Too be fair unlike most black artist in history Chuck Berry actually was abel to sue and won! And is still credited as the composer and lyricist to this day!
That’s right, The Stones , the Beatles , everyone did his material . Rock and Roll set the world on fire musically. Went as a teenager to Liverpool Empire to see Chuck and other Bands , we saw Chuck on Lime Street station having just got off the train from London , carrying only a small case and a guitar . That was 1963 . Cheers DaveH
Don't forget Bill Haley and The Saddlemen/His Comits I consider him and his band definelty founding fathers. Haley started recording rock as far back as 1951-1952
Das war der richtige König und Erfinder der 1965 Jahre Hype . Ich hatte das Glück als er mal an einem Dorfkonzert in Wettingen (Schweiz) spielte , zwei Meter neben Ihm zu stehen das ganze Konzert lang . Er hat sogar doppelt solang gespielt , da sein Komplize der die 2. Show machen sollte nicht auftreten konnte weil er Besoffen war .
Many many musicians were inspired by Chuck Berry. and some of them are John Lennon, Keith Richards, and Noddy Holder from SLADE, Eric Clapton, and Angus Young from AC/DC, Little Richard, and oh so many more. and I apologize to them for not listing them.
His influence on todays electric guitar players cannot be overrated. Countless rock musicians of the following generations name Chuck as their major influence - including Keith Richards and Angus Young.
@@tomdg13 That's half-true, depending on who you ask. I've heard a few music historians say that rock was essentially a merging of rhythm & blues with country, and then evolved from there.
I was on the same show as Chuck Berry at The Agincourt Ballroom in Camberley Surrey 1966-67. It was a bit awe inspiring, we did alot of his material in those days as many bands did. I asked him what his song list for that show, so that we didn't do any of them and clash. He said " you just go right on ahead, you play whatever you like, I just love to hear other peoples versions of my songs". Such a humble response !
@ALAN HOPE Hi Mr. Hope! What a wonderful experience! I have been looking into the early rock and roll scene in England. Had met Tony Sheridan years ago (didn't know who he was!) I think Chuck Berry, Ray Charles, Brenda Lee, Fats Domino, Little Richard and other American performers enlisted Tony as a guitarist when they appeared there. Maybe you were on these tours as well? A pleasure to hear kind words about these artists---thank you!
My mom really liked Chuck. (She was born in 1935) When she heard he was playing in town she had to see him, and took me with her. This was the late 70s. Mom liked all of the 50s Rock n Roll. 🎼🎵🎶🎸

@@patrick99222able No you little pissant. My hearing is perfekt. Me to is a fan of Elvis . When is comes to voice he WAS the King. But i love guitsrs, and when it comes to that. Chuck is the king. But Fats Domino vas probaly ahead of them all. Rock' n roll in 1949. Hope you learned something.
@Michael Austin Not when seen him playing Michael. in Atlantic City, Vancouver and Las Vagas, I see you don't know anything about guitars then? Elvis was a fine player playing extensively in his comeback TV special in 1977.
The King of Rock n Roll? You know Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard both proclaimed themselves as the King of Rock n Roll. Chuck Berry never did, Elvis never did, in fact he hated to be called that. I suppose if you are a fan of one or the other then that one is the King, but like a good rock n roll fan, you like them all and you never use the term King of Rock n Roll for any specific one. They were all great in their own way.
A man like Chuck Berry does not simply die. He’s there somewhere called back an entire generation that knew nothing but the excitement of RocknRoll thanks to him. He’s there not in his old body but he’s there.
Tall graceful, athletic, wrote his own songs, great guitar player, fantastic voice, unbelievable moves- -simply the best, true founder and king of rock and roll….RIP great one
Chuck Berry was much more than a musician. he was a true entertainer, he was probably the first musician to initiate audience participation into his concerts. with songs like "My Ding-a-ling".
Had the absolute pleasure of sitting in a small lounge in Houston, TX where Chuck was playing. This was in the 1959-1960 timeframe. What an entertainer he is. He did the "duck walk" to the delight of all. After his set, he came and sat with us at our table and talked for quite a while. Cool guy. .
Most Talented Person! Great singer, writer, performer! I love his rock and roll! He sang and played guitar and piano so well with music he wrote. I play his CDs all the time.
I met Chuck Berry in 1959 in Hot Springs Arkansas. I enjoyed talking with him. He had a great sense of humor. He had a strong opinion on anything. I will never forget it. Chuck was one of a few people who really were a one man show. He could do the whole thing.
One of his many great songs and hits right here Sweetie Little Sixteen from the late and Chuck Berry and thank you the late and Dick CLARK for always having him on American Bandstand when it was in Philadelphia and your Saturday night show from New York.
With some of these great songs by great artists from the 50's, I have to wonder how it was for a teenager to hear a song like this on the AM dial for the first time. I mean the guitar tone alone in this is awesome.
I was about 15. This song went to number one on its second listing. Like the pauses in the song. The best classic rock and roll song. Much better then JOHNNY BE GOOD.
@@ronaldpokatiloff5704 I'm wondering, what was it like the first time you heard a Chuck Berry song? I may have also heard it back then, but I was two about to turn three. To me hearing some artists for the first time was stunning or perhaps revolutionary when I hadn't heard anything like them. It was like that when I heard Hendrix and Queen for the first time. I didn't know what to make of them, but then I became big fans of them. I suspect it was the same with Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley. Btw, I got a chance to see Bo live about a year or two before he died.
My older sister had this 45 and she played it and I said at 8 years old in 1964-"He sounds like the Beatles" She said"No,the Beatles sound like him". R.I.P to the One and Only.
1950s was and always will be the true rock and roll sound, what it is meant to sound like. Prior to the term rock and roll it was known as the big beat. The Beatles sang some of these early songs because of the inspiration they got from them. They reintroduced early rock. The original "big Beat" will always be the basis of real rock and roll. I'm glad to have lived it from its beginning. Wish it were still here today to some extent, in its original form. Long live rock and roll as the song goes.
Seeing as Elvis is pretty much universally considered the king of rock and roll, whether you agree or not that he is, I’d say you’d use of “undisputed” isn’t an accurate one
He was so loose, lanky and tall. He was having fun with his music and he was a great stage performer. He had so many great moves on stage. But mostly the music just swings like mad. And you can’t help but get caught up in it. He was the Master Guitar Rocker! Invented all the guitar rock n roll riffs. There will never be another performer this great. And on top of all that he wrote all his hits.
@Dyn Jarren All True/I've always felt the same way about Chuck as you do. Amen! However, we gotta give his Piano Player Johnny Johnson some credit for some of those grooving runs, and the cumulative effect of blue grass/hillbilly; ragtime music, etc. as the backbone or some of the ingredients to his inimitable genre defining, foundational swinging sound.
piano player is disputed today, many consider older discographies wrong, and johnson himself recounts playing on sweet little sixteen, telling about leonard chess prompting him to do more piano swirls till his fingers were bleeding.
Go Chuck go! Just accept Brian Wilson was simply a big fan,and both songs will be played forever.Then it makes sense.RIP Chuck you made a generation happy.(and their kids did love it!)
I am incredibly blessed to have played live with Chuck Berry in a backup band for him at a show in Columbus Ohio, it was terrifying as a young man, Chuck arrived and didn't even let us know which songs we were playing! Thankfully we heard the guitar chords of "Maybelline" and we all just fell into sync for the next 45 minutes as pure bliss in a musical heaven on stage in front of 5,000 people. What he said to me at the end as he was leaving the venue was worth its weight in gold "You did good, gotta go kid."
Wow... I think this is the ONLY American Bandstand footage I've ever seen, where the audience is actually clapping IN TIME and ON THE BEAT!!!! Chuck was rockin' 'em!
30-year-old man singing about "sweet" 16-year-old girls. God bless America. 🙂

All True/I've always felt the same way about Chuck as you do. Amen!
However, we gotta give his Piano Player Johnny Johnson some credit for some of those grooving runs, and the cumulative effect of blue grass/hillbilly; ragtime music, etc. as the backbone or some of the ingredients to his inimitable genre defining, foundational swinging sound.
This song had one of the greatest piano solos in Rock and Roll History. RIP Johnny Johnson.
It's been said that Johnny Johnson was the heart of Chuck's band. Saw him play at that club in Mill Valley about 20 years ago. Incredible talent.
piano player is disputed today, many consider older discographies wrong, and johnson himself recounts playing on sweet little sixteen, telling about leonard chess prompting him to do more piano swirls till his fingers were bleeding.
How much Mr Berry have done for humanity🎶🎵🎼❤️

The father of Rock & Roll. Amazing writer. Anyone who wanted to play music could learn easily. He made it simple for us.
great Showman Chuck Berry - rest in peace.
I like his music, singing, and guitar playing, but his antics I can do without!!!!!!!!
I am incredibly blessed to have played live with Chuck Berry in a backup band for him at a show in Columbus Ohio, it was terrifying as a young man, Chuck arrived and didn't even let us know which songs we were playing! Thankfully we heard the guitar chords of "Maybelline" and we all just fell into sync for the next 45 minutes as pure bliss in a musical heaven on stage in front of 5,000 people. What he said to me at the end as he was leaving the venue was worth its weight in gold "You did good, gotta go kid."
Wow... I think this is the ONLY American Bandstand footage I've ever seen, where the audience is actually clapping IN TIME and ON THE BEAT!!!!
Chuck was rockin' 'em!
