Personal Fact of Chuck Berry | |
Chuck Berry or Charles Edward Anderson Berry was an American singer, songwriter and guitarist. He is known as the ‘Father of Rock-n-Roll’ and is regarded as one of the most popular and influential performers in the ‘rhythm-and-blues’ and ‘rock-and-roll’ music in the era of 1950s, ’60s and ’70s. His distinctive sounds from the guitar, vivid descriptions of teenage life, and the melodic virtuosities of the piano player (Johnnie Johnson) have served as a source of inspiration for every rock-and-roll band for more than half a century. He helped create rock and roll from rhythm and blues by combining clever lyrics, precise diction, characteristic country-western music devices, electronic effects and magnificent stage shows. Growing up with a family proud of its African-American and Native-American ancestry and singing in the choir of the Antioch Baptist Church could very well have been his inspiration. He says he borrowed his technique and guitar riffs from ‘T-Bone Walker’. Legendary bands like The Beatles, Rolling Stones and the Beach Boys have covered numerous songs by Berry. Later on, he stopped recording albums, but played regularly on tours and on ‘one-man’ shows accompanied by independent musicians and bands |
