Chuck Berry (1926-2017) was an American guitarist, singer, and songwriter who played a pivotal role in the development of rock and roll music. Hailing from St. Louis, Missouri, Berry is considered one of the pioneers of this genre. His contributions to music were recognized when he was inducted into both the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986.

Berry's innovative guitar playing style and energetic stage presence made him a standout performer during his career. He wrote numerous iconic songs that became hits, including "Johnny B. Goode," "Maybellene," and "Roll Over Beethoven." His catchy melodies combined with his clever lyrics captured the spirit of youth culture at the time.

Influenced by blues, country, and R&B music, Chuck Berry's sound inspired countless artists who followed in his footsteps. Some similar artists include *Little Richard*, *Buddy Holly*, *Jerry Lee Lewis*, *Eddie Cochran*, and many others who emerged during the early days of rock and roll.

Back in stock - one of the true greats. A genius with both words and tunes. Amazing value. 60 prime slices from the greatest poet, singer and guitar player from the Rock 'n' Roll era. All key tracks are included up to the end of 1962 showing what a true pioneer Chuck Berry was.
