Fellas, promise something to us old folks who went through the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s that you will not let our music die out. I have been watching you and other young people who are discovering the birth of rock and roll, folk, and so many other genres of music. If you listen carefully, you will be able to follow history through the storytelling of music. I have been fearful that it will go away if not cared for. So much would be lost.
When my dad was a child he lived next door to Chuck Berry. He told me he could hear him practicing his guitar every day. My dad was a kid at the time and Chuck was a teenager. Eventually, my grandparents moved to a larger house, but my dad always remembered hearing him play. He didn't know at the time but he was hearing one of the greatest rock-n-roll artist of all time.
I was fortunate to meet Chuck at a show in Greensboro, NC way back in June '81. Back then, he was very approachable and, thankfully, tolerated my bandmates and I being just starstruck. I mean, it's Chuck F*ing Berry! He was so kind and even autographed the back of my ticket (I still have that autograph!). When the show started, I was down in front loving every minute watching the King of Rock & Roll tear down the house! During his last song, he looked at me and motioned me up onto the stage! Properly tuned with several beers in me, I hauled my arse up on the stage because Chuck F*ing Berry told me to get up there with him! I'm proud to say that I did the "duck walk" with Chuck that night. I'm sure I looked ridiculous, a 6 foot 3 inch white dude duck walking with Chuck Berry but I didn't care. It is my fondest Rock & Roll memory.
Chuck Berry was the first musician to be inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of fame. 🎸🎵🎶❤️ … this song was the very first record that my brother and I had growin’ up. 😁
Sister Rosetta was wonderful to watch and hear. I was a young person when rock and roll first began. And now I'm here to watch a new generation enjoy entertainers from my youth. It just never gets old.
This song in particular by Chuck Berry is part of a recording NASA included on a gold plated album of various artistic and cultural representations of our world at the time on a Voyager Space Craft. It will truly and literally live on forever!!!
I AM 70 YEARS OLD & BEEN LISTENING TO MR. CHUCK BERRY SINCE I WAS 15 !!! I CAN ASSURE YOU HE IS THE REAL KING OF ROCK & ROLL !!! LOOK AT ALL THE ARTISTS THAT HAVE COVERED HIS MUSIC & ARRANGED TO PLAY WITH HIM !!! A TRUE AMERICAN TREASURE !!! MY FAVORITE SONG IS BACK IN THE U.S.A
Chuck Berry was easily one of the best singers and performers. I'm 52 years old and have been listening to him since I started listening to music. He was from St. Louis, Missouri and just as famous for his "duck walk" as he was for his singing and guitar playing. My husband and I got the chance to see him perform in Blueberry Hill when Chuck Berry was 84 years old. He played concerts 1-2 times a month until about a year before he passed away. What a memorable and fantastic night it was to be able to see him live. If you look up Delmar Loop in St. Louis, you'll see a statue they put up of him. He was and still is loved and celebrated. So glad you all gave this song look and listen!

One of the greatest rock songs of all time. Going down the Chuck Berry rabbit hole is a long and enjoyable journey. "Maybellenne" is my favorite
The godfather of rock and roll! Chuck and Little Richard really took rhythm and blues, evolved it and started it all. Legends!
This is Rock n Roll . He opened the door and everyone else followed.
No one has more influence on Rock and Roll than Chuck Berry. His music was that powerful to young and experienced musicians of that era.
Sister Rosetta was wonderful to watch and hear. I was a young person when rock and roll first began. And now I'm here to watch a new generation enjoy entertainers from my youth. It just never gets old.
Chuck is a godfather to rock, speaking as a guitar player. This dude is a force
Chuck Berry inspired most guitar players and rock bands. Beatles, Rolling stones, AC/DC to start with. Love your work gentlemen

Launched in 1977, "Johnny B. Goode" is now some
Remember that walk angus from AC/DC was hitting? Got it from this guy. Chuck really the godfather for all rock music you listen to
And he didn't even do his most famous move. The Duck Walk! He's one of the Grand-daddies of Rock n Roll. An ORIGINATOR. A LEGEND.
There is not a guitar player living or dead that doesn't speak Chuck Barry's name with complete reverence. This man was the inventor of rock and roll.
