Chuck Berry

Chuck Berry

I was in the 3rd grade when I got my very firt long playing
record album. It was Chuck Berry's 16 Greatest Hits.

This was the year I discovered rock 'n roll and I have been a fan ever
since and now I am in my 50's and still rockin'.

"Sweet Little Sixteen", "Johnny B. Goode" and "Rock and Roll Music" were
probably not the very first rock songs I had ever heard but they are
the first ones I remember.

I must have played Chuch Berry's album every day for about 3 months. My
parents were probably sick and tired of hearing Chuck Berry.

His songs have been covered by many artists because they are great songs.

A couple of years ago my brother drove from Tennessee to St. Louis to
see a 79 yeard old Chuck Berry perform at the House of Blues.

Chuck is in his eighties now and still playing shows which is amazing.

Thanks Chuck for rocking my life away.

The video is the first time Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley played together.
