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.

What do Elvis Presley, the Beatles and all the other rockers have in common? They all performed songs by Chuck Berry. Rhythm, musicality, intelligent lyrics, sensuality, insolence, humor, style... It's all there! His records are the perfect rock'n'roll vade mecum.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Chuck Berry is a blues-based composer who doesn't shy away from country, pop, jazz and Latin influences. The creator of a new form of popular music, he is one of the founding fathers of rock'n'roll. His Chuck Berry-style guitar playing became the basis for many musicians who followed him in his career, Keith Richards, guitarist with the Rolling Stones, being one of the most famous. On this subject, the film Hail! Hail! Rock'n'Roll (1987), in which the eternally facetious master plays on his pupil's nerves.&nbsp;&nbsp;

As an author, Chuck Berry is an observer of society, a commentator on an era, and a poet in his expression. Paul McCartney says: [...] The Beatles were enormously influenced by his music. Songs like "Sweet Little Sixteen", "Rock And Roll Music", "Maybellene" and "Memphis Tennessee" are just a few of the great classics born from his pen.&nbsp;&nbsp;In short, Chuck Berry is undoubtedly Rock'n'Roll's most important personality.
