It is, it was and Will Be Rock and Roll “, with Lenny Krovitz, which has not been called to Berrys, it is not what we have not been rock and roll. ” 

“Chuck Berry unfortunately died on the weekend,” said Paul McCartney in a statement. “He was one of Rock & Roll’s biggest poets. We will miss him, but we will not forget all who enjoyed Rock & Roll. “

“He started with Chuck Berry,” Rod Stewart said in a statement. “The first album that I never bought” Live at The Tivoli “of Chuck and I never the same. He more than a legend; he a founding father. You can listen to his influence on each rock & roll organization of my generation. I touched his” sweet rock & roller “since 1974 and tonight, when my organization and I the caesares of Caesars’ Chuck Berry – Your Sound on Caessars Palace. “

From his first success, “Maybellene” from 1955, Berry wrote a collection of songs that, in Groove and for the mentality of adolescents, have essential portions of the rock cannon: “Roll over, Beethoven”, “Rock & Roll Music”, and in “Johnny B. Gode” were spiritual or the vein or vein that follows. In adolescence, Keith Richards and Mick Jagger have been connected for the first time with their love for Berry’s music, and in the five decades beyond five decades, Berry’s songs have covered themselves through an incredible diversity of artists: Rolling Stones, Bevery One Boys, Kinks, The Doors and The James Taylor, Peter Tosh, Juks Priest, Dwwight Yoakam, Phish, Phish and Seks Phy Port Phy Port Phy Phy Phy Phy Port Phy Port Phy Port Phyp. As Richards said, inducing Berry in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1987, “I stole all the blows of the language he has played. “

By merging the blues and the country, Berry also invented a firm guitar flavor, such as “Ringing to Bell”, as he said in “Johnny G. Goode”, which imitated through teams of stones and beach children to punk rockers. His words, in a giant component in sex, cars, music and problems, brought a completely new vocabulary in popular music in the 1950s. In their songs, Berry captured the new prosperity after the war in the United States, a world, while sanging in “Back in the U. S. “, where “hamburgers sizzle in an open and day grid. ” “I made records for the other people who buy them,” said Berry. “Without color, without ethnic, without politics, I don’t need that, never. “

However, Berry, in his role as a pioneer in Rock & Roll, also dealt with racism and fanaticism, in componenticular when he was accused in 1961 of having violated Mann’s law (transporting a woman or a woman through the lines of the state so that prostitution ends). Berry said he met Janice Norine Calanti, a 14 -year -old American native in Texas and hired him paintings at his club in St. Louis, Club Kashft. Bomped after a moment of judgment (the first conviction was canceled due to the approval of the trials to use the word “Nigra” on several occasions), Berry, who declared himself innocent, ended up serving almost two years in criminal and emerged a sour and remarkable man. In recent years, he had softened a little, thanks in the component of receiving a life for life in Grammys in 1986 and the enthronement of rock and roll of Fame.

Born in Saint-Louis on October 18, 1926, Charles Edward Anderson Berry learned to play Blues guitar in adolescence and played for the first time in his exhibition of talents of the best schools. Music was his first love, but not necessarily his first career choice. Son of a carpenter, Berry worked in a General Motors assembly chain and studied as a hairdresser. With the pianist Johnnie Johnson (a normal component of his organization for the next few years), Berry shapes an organization in 1952. After the assembly, the legend of the Muddy Blues waters, Berry was presented to the founder of Chess Records Leonard Chess in 1955. Berry brought a song founded on the melody “Red Red”. With a new name and lyrics, and a blow of the opening guitar without delay to crush, the song was transferred to “Maybellene”. During a return trip, Berry brought his recording of the song and without delay signed with the seal. “[Chess] may not be a country air (a” Hillbilly song “) can be written and sung through a black boy,” he wrote in his 1987 memory, Chuck Berry: Autobiography.

“Maybellene” reached number five in 1955 and established the race and sound of Berry. At the end of the 1950s, he had recorded seven other tubes of the 40 best: “Roll over Beethoven” (number 29), “school day” (number three), “Rock & Roll Music” (number eight), “Sweet Little Sipteen” (number two), “Johnny B. Goode” (eighth number), “Carol” (number 28) and “in the United States. ” (Number 37). Although he was already in the thirties at the beginning of the thirties when he marked those blows, Berry did not know why he wrote for a more youthful audience. “Everything that would come in what I thought,” he wrote in his memories, “then, of” Maybellene “, I basically improvised my words to the young adult and some even for adolescents, as they called it. “

Each song explained through berries: this propulsive rhythm, erectional charm and timbre guitar. “The charming Chuck Berry game that had such an easy swing,” Keith Richards wrote in his memories, life. “None of those perspirations and I did not smile or smiled, just a natural and effortless swing like a lion. ” During a 1956 concert, Berry so embarrassed of having brought only a dress that invented a new level movement “to hide wrinkles”, as he said in 1969. This movement, The Duck Walk, also component of the rock lexicon & Roll.

Attempt or not, Berry also put the style for Bad Boy Rock & Roll beyond his conviction for Mann’s law. At the beginning of his life, Berry spent 3 years at the Reform School for an attempted armed robbery. In 1979, he accused fiscal evasion and the deposit of false source of income statements and spent 3 months in prison. (During his conviction, he melted in tears). In 1990, he processed through several women who said that Berry had recorded them in the girls’ feeding place in Saint-Louis. (Berry has reached a colony outside).

When he was released from a Missouri criminal in October 1963 after his condemnation of Mann Law, Berry was bitter, but he also saw his footprint in a new generation of organizations. The Beach Boys had launched their first single, the “safari” of the surface “influenced through Berry, while a new organization of England, The Rolling Stones, published” Come on “through Berry as his first single in 1963. At first, Berry picked up where he stopped, writing new songs like” You can never Kell “his attitude of service SATANES.

In 1966, Berry left failures, his long -standing house, for some other seal, Mercury, but the result of an album result decreases that the general and weak re -considerations of his successes. (A remarkable exception: a jam with the Steve Miller organization captured in the 1967 album, live at the Fillmore Auditorium). In 1969, he returned to chess, and returned in shape, in tougher songs like “Tulane”, a drug clock that showed its new relevance. In 1972, he scored his first and the only number one success with the new Chanson, “My ding-ling. ” His new original songs, Rock IT, released in 1979.

Berry was a notoriously hard and irascible character out of level. On the tour, he has traveled alone, using rescue equipment hired through the promoters. He requested the payment in advance, an express type of amplifier and a limousine (without driver) for his shows. In 1986, Richards brought a combination of an All-Star backup organization (including Eric Clapton, Robert Cray and Sax Bobthrough Keys player) to play Berry in the documentary. Hail! Rock ‘N’ Roll. Even then, Berry intimidated Richards at the level and outside the doors and only the first day of filming arose after requesting an additional money payment of $ 25,000. Despite these difficulties, the 1987 film, directed through Taylor Hackford, has become one of the most acclaimed rock films in rock.

In 2012, his scale in Cleveland to settle for the Music Award of the Rock and Roll Fame, Rolling Stone’s musician, then 86, said the speed with age decreased. “I listen very little,” he said. “I ask myself questions about my future. It’s news!

“Well, I’m going to give you a small piece of poetry,” he added, when he asked to develop. “Do you give him a song? I can’t do that. The days of making a song have passed. My voice has disappeared. My throat is worn out. And my lungs pass quickly. I think he explains. “

Until 2014, Berry continued to carry out in clubs and casinos. Once a month, he played in Blueberry Hill, a place to eat and a bar in St. Louis, where his October 2014 exhibition marked his 209th consecutive exhibition on the site, according to Riverfront Times.

Berry lived in Saint-Louis but he spent time in Berry Park, an asset of 155 acres in Wentzville, Missouri, close. (As he told Rolling Stone in 2010, he even cut the grass there). Asked through RS in 1969 about the role of rock, Berry said: “Like all the music, it unites you, because if two other people love the same music.

His wife Themetta “Toddy” Suggs survived him, who married in 1948, and 4 children.
