Charles Edward Anderson Berry (Oct 18, 1926 – March 18, 2017) was an American vocalist, songwriter and guitarist who pioneered stone and whorl. Nicknamed the "Male parent of Rock and Roll", he refined and developed rhythm and blues into the major elements that fabricated stone and whorl distinctive with songs such every bit "Maybellene" (1955), "Roll Over Beethoven" (1956), "Rock and Ringlet Music" (1957) and "Johnny B. Goode" (1958).[1] Writing lyrics that focused on teen life and consumerism, and developing a music style that included guitar solos and showmanship, Berry was a major influence on subsequent rock music.[2]

Built-in into a middle-class blackness family in St. Louis, Drupe had an interest in music from an early historic period and gave his start public performance at Sumner High School. While even so a high schoolhouse student he was convicted of armed robbery and was sent to a reformatory, where he was held from 1944 to 1947. Afterwards his release, Berry settled into married life and worked at an motorcar assembly plant. By early 1953, influenced past the guitar riffs and showmanship techniques of the blues musician T-Bone Walker, Berry began performing with the Johnnie Johnson Trio.[3] His break came when he traveled to Chicago in May 1955 and met Muddy Waters, who suggested he contact Leonard Chess, of Chess Records. With Chess, he recorded "Maybellene"—Berry'due south accommodation of the country vocal "Ida Blood-red"—which sold over a meg copies, reaching number one on Billboard mag'southward rhythm and blues chart.[4]

By the finish of the 1950s, Drupe was an established star, with several hitting records and moving-picture show appearances and a lucrative touring career. He had also established his own St. Louis nightclub, Berry'southward Club Bandstand.[five] He was sentenced to three years in prison in January 1962 for offenses under the Mann Act—he had transported a 14-yr-former daughter across state lines for the purpose of having sexual intercourse.[3] [6] [7] After his release in 1963, Drupe had several more successful songs, including "No Item Place to Go", "You Never Can Tell", and "Nadine". However, these did not reach the same success or lasting bear on of his 1950s songs, and past the 1970s he was more in demand equally a nostalgia performer, playing his past material with local backup bands of variable quality.[iii] In 1972 he reached a new level of achievement when a rendition of "My Ding-a-Ling" became his only record to top the charts. His insistence on being paid in cash led in 1979 to a four-calendar month jail sentence and community service, for tax evasion.

Berry was amidst the first musicians to be inducted into the Rock and Gyre Hall of Fame on its opening in 1986; he was cited for having "laid the groundwork for not only a rock and whorl sound but a rock and whorl stance."[8] Drupe is included in several of Rolling Stone magazine'due south "greatest of all time" lists; he was ranked 5th on its 2004 and 2011 lists of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.[ix] The Stone and Curlicue Hall of Fame's 500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll includes three of Berry's: "Johnny B. Goode", "Maybellene", and "Rock and Scroll Music".[10] Berry's "Johnny B. Goode" is the only stone-and-roll song included on the Voyager Gilt Record.[eleven]

Early life

Born in St. Louis,[12] Drupe was the youngest child. He grew upwards in the north St. Louis neighborhood known as the Ville, an area where many middle-class people lived. His begetter, Henry William Berry (1895–1987) was a contractor and deacon of a nearby Baptist church; his mother, Martha Bong (Banks) (1894–1980) was a certified public school main.[13] Berry's upbringing allowed him to pursue his interest in music from an early age. He gave his first public operation in 1941 while still a student at Sumner High Schoolhouse;[xiv] he was nevertheless a student there in 1944, when he was arrested for armed robbery after robbing three shops in Kansas City, Missouri, and then stealing a motorcar at gunpoint with some friends.[15] [sixteen] Berry's account in his autobiography is that his car broke downwards and he flagged down a passing car and stole it at gunpoint with a nonfunctional pistol.[17] He was convicted and sent to the Intermediate Reformatory for Young Men at Algoa, near Jefferson Urban center, Missouri,[12] where he formed a singing quartet and did some boxing.[15] The singing group became competent enough that the authorities allowed it to perform outside the detention facility.[18] Drupe was released from the reformatory on his 21st altogether in 1947.

On October 28, 1948, Drupe married Themetta "Toddy" Suggs, who gave birth to Darlin Ingrid Berry on October 3, 1950.[19] Drupe supported his family past taking diverse jobs in St. Louis, working briefly as a factory worker at 2 machine assembly plants and as a janitor in the flat edifice where he and his wife lived. Afterwards he trained as a beautician at the Poro Higher of Cosmetology, founded by Annie Turnbo Malone.[20] He was doing well enough by 1950 to purchase a "small-scale three room brick cottage with a bath" on Whittier Street,[21] which is now listed as the Chuck Berry Firm on the National Register of Celebrated Places.[22]

By the early 1950s, Berry was working with local bands in clubs in St. Louis equally an extra source of income.[21] He had been playing dejection since his teens, and he borrowed both guitar riffs and showmanship techniques from the dejection musician T-Bone Walker.[23] He too took guitar lessons from his friend Ira Harris, which laid the foundation for his guitar mode.[24]

By early 1953 Drupe was performing with Johnnie Johnson's trio, starting a long-time collaboration with the pianist.[25] [26] The band played blues and ballads every bit well as country. Berry wrote, "Curiosity provoked me to lay a lot of our country stuff on our predominantly black audience and some of our black audience began whispering 'who is that black hillbilly at the Cosmo?' Subsequently they laughed at me a few times they began requesting the hillbilly stuff and enjoyed dancing to it."[12]

In 1954, Drupe recorded the tracks "I Hope These Words Will Find You lot Well" and "Oh, Maria!" with the group Joe Alexander & the Cubans. The songs were released every bit a single on the Ballad label.[27]

Drupe's showmanship, along with a mix of country tunes and R&B tunes, sung in the fashion of Nat Male monarch Cole gear up to the music of Dirty Waters brought in a wider audience, specially affluent white people.[3] [28]

Career

1955–1962: Signing with Chess: "Maybellene" to "Come On"

In May 1955, Berry traveled to Chicago, where he met Muddy Waters who suggested he contact Leonard Chess, of Chess Records. Berry thought his blues music would interest Chess, only Chess was a larger fan of Berry's take on "Ida Red".[29] On May 21, 1955, Berry recorded an adaptation of the vocal "Ida Red", nether the title "Maybellene", with Johnnie Johnson on the piano, Jerome Light-green (from Bo Diddley's band) on the maracas, Ebby Hardy on the drums and Willie Dixon on the bass.[30] "Maybellene" sold over a million copies, reaching number one on Billboard magazine'due south rhythm and blues nautical chart and number five on its All-time Sellers in Stores chart for September 10, 1955.[12] [31] Berry said, "Information technology came out at the correct time when Afro-American music was spilling over into the mainstream pop."[32]

When Drupe first saw a copy of the Maybellene tape, he was surprised that two other individuals, including DJ Alan Freed had been given writing credit; that would entitle them to some of the royalties. After a court battle, Berry was able to regain full writing credit.[33] [34]

At the finish of June 1956, his song "Curlicue Over Beethoven" reached number 29 on the Billboard 's Top 100 chart, and Berry toured as 1 of the "Meridian Acts of '56". He and Carl Perkins became friends. Perkins said that "I knew when I first heard Chuck that he'd been affected by country music. I respected his writing; his records were very, very neat."[35] In late 1957, Berry took part in Alan Freed'due south "Biggest Show of Stars for 1957", touring the United States with the Everly Brothers, Buddy Holly, and others.[36] He was a guest on ABC'south Guy Mitchell Prove, singing his hitting vocal "Stone 'n' Ringlet Music". The hits continued from 1957 to 1959, with Berry scoring over a dozen chart singles during this period, including the Us Top 10 hits "School Days", "Rock and Roll Music", "Sweet Piffling Sixteen", and "Johnny B. Goode". He appeared in two early stone-and-roll movies: Rock Stone Stone (1956), in which he sang "You Can't Catch Me", and Get, Johnny, Go! (1959), in which he had a speaking office as himself and performed "Johnny B. Goode", "Memphis, Tennessee", and "Niggling Queenie". His functioning of "Sweet Little Sixteen" at the Newport Jazz Festival in 1958 was captured in the movement picture Jazz on a Summer'due south Day.[37]

The opening guitar riff of "Johnny B. Goode"[38] is surprisingly similar to the i used past Louis Jordan in his Ain't That Only Like a Adult female (1946).[38] Drupe acknowledged the debt to Jordan and several sources have indicated that his piece of work was influenced by Jordan in general.[39] [xl] [41]

By the end of the 1950s, Berry was a high-profile established star with several striking records and film appearances and a lucrative touring career. He had opened a racially integrated St. Louis nightclub, Berry's Social club Bandstand, and invested in real manor.[42] Only in December 1959, he was arrested under the Mann Act after allegations that he had had sexual intercourse with a 14-year-old Apache waitress, Janice Escalante,[43] whom he had transported beyond state lines to work as a hatcheck girl at his social club.[44] Afterward a two-calendar week trial in March 1960, he was convicted, fined $5,000, and sentenced to five years in prison.[45] He appealed the determination, arguing that the judge's comments and mental attitude were racist and prejudiced the jury confronting him. The entreatment was upheld,[six] [46] and a second trial was heard in May and June 1961,[47] resulting in some other conviction and a 3-yr prison judgement.[48] Afterward another appeal failed, Berry served one and one-half years in prison, from February 1962 to October 1963.[49] He had continued recording and performing during the trials, simply his output had slowed as his popularity declined; his terminal single released earlier he was imprisoned was "Come up On".[50]

1963–1969: "Nadine" and move to Mercury

Berry and his sister Lucy Ann (1965)

When Berry was released from prison house in 1963, his return to recording and performing was fabricated easier because British invasion bands—notably the Beatles and the Rolling Stones—had sustained interest in his music past releasing cover versions of his songs,[51] [52] and other bands had reworked some of them, such equally the Beach Boys' 1963 hit "Surfin' UsA.", which used the tune of Drupe'south "Sweet Footling Sixteen".[53] In 1964 and 1965 Drupe released viii singles, including three that were commercially successful, reaching the top 20 of the Billboard 100: "No Particular Place to Go" (a humorous reworking of "School Days", concerning the introduction of seat belts in cars),[54] "Y'all Never Tin can Tell", and the rocking "Nadine".[55] Between 1966 and 1969 Berry released five albums for Mercury Records, including his 2nd alive album (and outset recorded entirely onstage), Live at Fillmore Auditorium; for the live album he was backed by the Steve Miller Band.[56] [57]

Although this flow was not a successful one for studio piece of work,[58] Drupe was however a top concert draw. In May 1964, he had made a successful tour of the UK,[54] but when he returned in Jan 1965 his beliefs was erratic and moody, and his touring way of using unrehearsed local backing bands and a strict nonnegotiable contract was earning him a reputation equally a hard and unexciting performer.[59] He also played at large events in Due north America, such every bit the Schaefer Music Festival, in New York Metropolis's Central Park in July 1969, and the Toronto Rock and Curlicue Revival festival in Oct.[60]

1970–1979: Dorsum to Chess: "My Ding-a-Ling" to White House concert

Berry helped requite life to a subculture ... Even "My Ding-a-Ling", a quaternary-course wee-wee joke that used to mortify true believers at college concerts, permitted a lot of twelve-twelvemonth-olds new insight into the moribund concept of "dirty" when information technology striking the airwaves ...

Robert Christgau[61]

Berry returned to Chess from 1970 to 1973. At that place were no striking singles from the 1970 anthology Back Habitation, but in 1972 Chess released a live recording of "My Ding-a-Ling", a novelty song which he had recorded in a different version equally "My Tambourine" on his 1968 LP From St. Louie to Frisco.[62] The runway became his only number-one unmarried. A alive recording of "Reelin' and Rockin'", issued as a follow-up single in the same yr, was his final Top xl hitting in both the United states and the UK. Both singles were included on the role-live, office-studio album The London Chuck Drupe Sessions (other albums of London sessions were recorded past Chess'south mainstay artists Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf). Drupe'south second tenure with Chess concluded with the 1975 album Chuck Berry, after which he did not make a studio tape until Rockit for Atco Records in 1979, which would be his concluding studio album for 38 years.[63]

In the 1970s Drupe toured on the strength of his earlier successes. He was on the road for many years, conveying only his Gibson guitar, confident that he could hire a band that already knew his music no matter where he went. AllMusic said that in this period his "live performances became increasingly erratic, ... working with terrible backup bands and turning in sloppy, out-of-tune performances" which "tarnished his reputation with younger fans and oldtimers" alike.[42] In March 1972 he was filmed, at the BBC Tv set Theatre in Shepherds Bush, for Chuck Berry in Concert,[64] function of a 60-date tour backed by the band Rocking Horse.[65] Amongst the many bandleaders performing a backup part with Berry in the 1970s were Bruce Springsteen and Steve Miller when each was just starting his career. (Springsteen related in the documentary picture show Hail! Hail! Rock 'northward' Roll that Berry did not give the band a set listing, and expected the musicians to follow his lead afterwards each guitar intro. Berry did non speak to the band after the show. Withal, Springsteen backed Berry again when he appeared at the concert for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995.) At the request of Jimmy Carter, Berry performed at the White House on June 1, 1979.[57]

Berry's touring mode, traveling the "oldies" excursion in the 1970s (often being paid in cash by local promoters), added ammunition to the Internal Revenue Service'south accusations that Drupe had evaded paying income taxes. Facing criminal sanction for the third fourth dimension, Drupe pleaded guilty to evading virtually $110,000 in federal income taxation owed on his 1973 earnings. Newspaper reports in 1979 put his 1973 joint income (with his wife) at $374,982.[66] He was sentenced to 4 months in prison house and 1,000 hours of customs service—performing benefit concerts—in 1979.[67]

1980–2017: Last years on the route

Berry continued to play 70 to 100 1-nighters per year in the 1980s, even so traveling solo and requiring a local band to back him at each stop. In 1986, Taylor Hackford made a documentary moving picture, Hail! Hail! Rock 'n' Gyre, of a celebration concert for Berry's sixtieth birthday, organized by Keith Richards.[68] Eric Clapton, Etta James, Julian Lennon, Robert Cray, and Linda Ronstadt, among others, appeared with Berry on stage and in the moving-picture show. During the concert, Berry played a Gibson ES-355, the luxury version of the ES-335 that he favored on his 1970s tours. Richards played a blackness Fender Telecaster Custom, Cray a Fender Stratocaster and Clapton a Gibson ES 350T, the aforementioned model that Berry used on his early on recordings.[15]

In the late 1980s, Drupe bought the Southern Air, a restaurant in Wentzville, Missouri.[69]

In November 2000, Drupe faced legal bug when he was sued by his former pianist Johnnie Johnson who claimed that he had co-written over 50 songs, including "No Particular Identify to Go", "Sugariness Little Sixteen" and "Roll Over Beethoven", that credit Berry lonely. The case was dismissed when the guess ruled that too much fourth dimension had passed since the songs were written.[70]

In 2008, Drupe toured Europe, with stops in Sweden, Norway, Finland, the United Kingdom, holland, Ireland, Switzerland, Poland, and Spain. In mid-2008, he played at the Virgin Festival in Baltimore.[71] During a concert on New year's day's Day 2011 in Chicago, Berry, suffering from exhaustion, passed out and had to be helped off stage.[72]

Berry lived in Ladue, Missouri, approximately 10 miles (sixteen km) westward of St. Louis. He also had a home at "Berry Park", near Wentzville, Missouri where he lived part-time since the 1950s and was the dwelling house in which he died. This home, with the guitar-shaped pond pool, is seen in scenes well-nigh the end of the moving picture Hail! Hail! Rock 'north' Roll.[73] He regularly performed one Midweek each month at Huckleberry Hill, a restaurant and bar located in the Delmar Loop neighborhood of St. Louis, from 1996 to 2014.

Berry announced on his 90th altogether that his get-go new studio album since Rockit in 1979, entitled Chuck, would be released in 2017.[74] His first new record in 38 years, it includes his children, Charles Berry Jr. and Ingrid, on guitar and harmonica, with songs "covering the spectrum from hard-driving rockers to soulful idea-provoking time capsules of a life's piece of work" and dedicated to his beloved wife of 68 years, Toddy.[75]

Physical and sexual corruption allegations

In 1987, Berry was charged with assaulting a woman at New York'due south Gramercy Park Hotel. He was defendant of causing "lacerations of the oral fissure, requiring five stitches, ii loose teeth, [and] contusions of the face." He pleaded guilty to a bottom charge of harassment and paid a $250 fine.[76] In 1990, he was sued by several women who claimed that he had installed a video photographic camera in the bathroom of his restaurant. Berry claimed that he had had the camera installed to catch a worker who was suspected of stealing from the restaurant. Although his guilt was never proven in court, Berry opted for a class action settlement. One of his biographers, Bruce Pegg, estimated that with 59 women it cost Drupe over $1.2 meg plus legal fees.[15] His lawyers said he had been the victim of a conspiracy to profit from his wealth.[xv] During this time Berry began using Wayne T. Schoeneberg equally his legal counsel. Reportedly, a police raid on his house found intimate videotapes of women, one of whom was plainly a minor. Too found in the raid were 62 grams of marijuana. Felony drug and child-corruption charges were filed. As the child-abuse charges were dropped, Berry agreed to plead guilty to misdemeanor possession of marijuana. He was given a six-month suspended jail sentence, placed on 2 years unsupervised probation and was ordered to donate $5,000 to a local infirmary.[77] Later, videos Berry recorded of himself urinating on a woman and another of her defecating on him would surface.[78] [79] [80]

Death

On March 18, 2017, Berry was found unresponsive at his domicile about Wentzville, Missouri. Emergency workers called to the scene were unable to revive him, and he was pronounced dead by his personal physician.[81] [82] TMZ posted an audio recording on its website in which a 911 operator tin exist heard responding to a reported cardiac arrest at Berry's home.[83]

Berry's funeral was held on April 9, 2017, at The Pageant, in Berry'due south hometown of St. Louis.[84] [85] He was remembered with a public viewing by family unit, friends, and fans in The Pageant, a music social club where he oft performed. He was viewed with his scarlet-red Gibson ES-335 guitar bolted to the inside hat of the coffin[86] and with flower arrangements that included one sent by the Rolling Stones in the shape of a guitar. Afterwards a private service was held in the guild celebrating Berry's life and musical career, with the Berry family inviting 300 members of the public into the service. Cistron Simmons of Kiss gave an impromptu, unadvertised eulogy at the service, while Piffling Richard was scheduled to lead the funeral procession just was unable to attend due to an illness. The night before, many St. Louis area bars held a mass toast at 10 pm in Berry's accolade.[87]

I of Berry's attorneys estimated that his estate was worth $50 million, including $17 one thousand thousand in music rights. Berry'due south music publishing accounted for $xiii million of the estate's value. The Berry estate owned roughly half of his songwriting credits (mostly from his later career), while BMG Rights Management controlled the other one-half; most of Berry'southward recordings are currently owned past Universal Music Grouping.[88] In September 2017, Dualtone, the label which released Drupe's final anthology, Chuck, agreed to publish all his compositions in the United States.[89]

Drupe is interred in a mausoleum in Bellerive Gardens Cemetery in St. Louis.[90]

Legacy

"The founding father of rock n curlicue" street art on Kingdom of denmark Street, London

While no individual can be said to take invented rock and curlicue, Chuck Berry comes the closest of whatsoever single figure to being the i who put all the essential pieces together. It was his particular genius to graft country & western guitar licks onto a rhythm & blues chassis in his very starting time single, "Maybellene".

Rock and Coil Hall of Fame[91] [92]

A pioneer of rock and curl, Berry was a significant influence on the evolution of both the music and the attitude associated with the rock music lifestyle. With songs such as "Maybellene" (1955), "Gyre Over Beethoven" (1956), "Rock and Roll Music" (1957) and "Johnny B. Goode" (1958), Berry refined and developed rhythm and blues into the major elements that fabricated rock and roll distinctive, with lyrics successfully aimed to entreatment to the early teenage market by using graphic and humorous descriptions of teen dances, fast cars, high schoolhouse life, and consumer culture,[3] and utilizing guitar solos and showmanship that would be a major influence on subsequent stone music.[2] Thus Drupe, the songwriter, co-ordinate to critic Jon Pareles, invented stone as "a music of teenage wishes fulfilled and expert times (fifty-fifty with cops in pursuit)."[93] Berry contributed three things to rock music: an irresistible swagger, a focus on the guitar riff equally the primary melodic element and an emphasis on songwriting as storytelling.[94] His records are a rich storehouse of the essential lyrical, showmanship and musical components of stone and roll. In improver to the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, a large number of significant popular-music performers take recorded Berry'south songs.[3] Although non technically accomplished, his guitar style is distinctive—he incorporated electronic effects to mimic the sound of bottleneck dejection guitarists and drew on the influence of guitar players such equally Carl Hogan,[95] and T-Bone Walker[3] to produce a articulate and exciting sound that many later guitarists would admit as an influence in their own manner.[77] Berry'due south showmanship has been influential on other stone guitarists,[96] particularly his one-legged hop routine,[97] and the "duck walk",[98] which he get-go used as a child when he walked "stooping with total-bended knees, only with my back and head vertical" nether a table to remember a ball and his family unit establish it entertaining; he used it when "performing in New York for the beginning fourth dimension and some journalist branded it the duck walk."[99] [100]

He has been cited every bit a major reference to a variety of some of the most influential acts of all time:

  • Elvis Presley covered "Memphis, Tennessee", As well Much Monkey Business", "Johnny B. Goode" and "Promised Land"

On July 29, 2011, Berry was honored in a dedication of an eight-foot, in-motion Chuck Berry Statue in the Delmar Loop in St. Louis right across the street from Huckleberry Hill. Berry said, "Information technology's glorious--I practise appreciate it to the highest, no doubt about information technology. That sort of award is seldom given out. But I don't deserve it."[101]

Stone critic Robert Christgau considers Drupe "the greatest of the rock and rollers",[102] and John Lennon said, "if y'all tried to give rock and roll another name, y'all might phone call it 'Chuck Berry'."[103] Ted Nugent said, "If yous don't know every Chuck Drupe lick, you tin't play rock guitar."[104] Bob Dylan called Berry "the Shakespeare of stone 'n' ringlet".[105] Bruce Springsteen tweeted, "Chuck Berry was stone'southward greatest practitioner, guitarist, and the greatest pure rock 'n' roll author who ever lived."[106]

When asked what caused the explosion of the popularity of rock 'n scroll that took place in the 1950s, with him and a scattering of others, mainly him, Berry said, "Well, really they brainstorm to mind to it, you see, because certain stations played certain music. The music that nosotros, the blacks, played, the cultures were so far apart, nosotros would have to have a play station in guild to play information technology. The cultures brainstorm to come together, and yous begin to run into i another's vein of life, and then the music came together."[107]

Chuck Berry wearing the Kennedy Center Honors, 2000

Amid the honors Drupe received were the Grammy Lifetime Accomplishment Award in 1984[108] and the Kennedy Center Honors in 2000.[109] He was ranked seventh on Time magazine's 2009 listing of the 10 all-time electric guitar players of all fourth dimension.[110] On May 14, 2002, Berry was honored equally 1 of the starting time BMI Icons at the 50th almanac BMI Pop Awards. He was presented the award along with BMI affiliates Bo Diddley and Little Richard.[111] In August 2014, Berry was made a laureate of the Polar Music Prize.[112]

Berry is included in several of Rolling Rock magazine'due south "Greatest of All Time" lists. In September 2003, the mag ranked him number six in its listing of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time".[113] In November his compilation anthology The Great 20-Eight was ranked 21st in Rolling Stone 's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.[114] In March 2004, Drupe was ranked fifth on the list of "The Immortals – The 100 Greatest Artists of All Time".[9] [115] In December 2004, six of his songs were included in "Rolling Rock's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time": "Johnny B. Goode" (#7), "Maybellene" (#eighteen), "Curlicue Over Beethoven" (#97), "Stone and Gyre Music" (#128), "Sweet Niggling Sixteen" (#272) and "Brownish Eyed Handsome Man" (#374).[116] In June 2008, his vocal "Johnny B. Goode" was ranked first in the "100 Greatest Guitar Songs of All Time".[117]

The announcer Chuck Klosterman has argued that in 300 years Berry volition nevertheless be remembered as the stone musician who most closely captured the essence of rock and roll.[118] Fourth dimension magazine stated, "There was no one like Elvis. But there was 'definitely' no one like Chuck Drupe."[119] Rolling Stone called him "the begetter of rock & curlicue" who "gave the music its sound and its attitude, even as he battled racism - and his ain misdeeds - all the mode," reporting that Leonard Cohen said, "All of u.s.a. are footnotes to the words of Chuck Berry."[120] Kevin Strait, curator of the National Museum of African American History and Civilization in Washington, DC, said that Berry is "one of the primary sonic architects of rock and coil."[121]

According to Cleveland.com's Troy L. Smith, "Chuck Berry didn't invent stone and roll all by his lonesome. Just he was the man who took rhythm and dejection and transformed it into a new genre that would ever alter popular music. Songs like "Maybellene," "Johnny B. Goode," "Coil Over Beethoven" and "Stone and Roll Music" would showcase the core elements of what stone and roll would get. The sound, the format and the style were built on the music Berry created. To some extent, everyone who followed was a copycat".[122]
