StarMountainKid Posted March 18, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 18, 2017 His influence on the rock and roll music revolution owes more to Chuck Berry than to anyone else. A great story teller, performer and musician. His lyrics are simple and universal and included humor, which is rare in popular music. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ouija ouija Posted March 19, 2017 #4 Share Posted March 19, 2017 What a genius! Amazing guitar sound, amazing lyrics ...... wow! still gives me shivers after all these years I don't think he'll 'rest in peace' I think he'll keep on rockin' for ever . This is my favourite: Oh my! What a mover! Thank you so much for all the wonderful music, Chuck. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've known them since I bought his autobiography some 25+ years ago! Whatever went on in his private life, you can't take anything away from the quality of his songwriting(IMHO). If I remember correctly, he and the 'hatcheck girl' were together for a number of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, he and the 'hatcheck girl' were together for a number of years. Yes appraising his talent can be different (but not totally divorced from) appraising him as a man... (I remember being shocked when it was on the news re. the discovery made in his restaurant. It caused me to appraise him differently, i.e. I thought less of him).

rattpoison Posted March 27, 2017 #15 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Truly a blues legend. Him and Hank Williams created modern rock as far as I'm concerned, with the help and influence of others, I suppose. Weird think is, my wife and I made our 4 year old son watch all of the Back to the Future movies last weekend.

A quick search on google will show you just that. I'm not claiming it's true; I don't know. But it did give me an uneasy feeling about this particular song.
