Chuck Berry

Charles Edward Anderson "Chuck" Berry (born October 18, 1926) is an American guitarist, singer and songwriter, and one of the pioneers of rock and roll music. With songs such as "Maybellene" (1955), "Roll 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 made rock and roll distinctive, with lyrics focusing on teen life and consumerism and utilizing guitar solos and showmanship that would be a major influence on subsequent rock music.

Born into a middle-class African-American family in St. Louis, Missouri, Berry had an interest in music from an early age and gave his first public performance at Sumner High School. While still a high school student he was arrested, and served a prison sentence for armed robbery from 1944 to 1947. After his release, Berry settled into married life and worked at an automobile assembly plant. By early 1953, influenced by the guitar riffs and showmanship techniques of blues player T-Bone Walker, Berry began performing with the Johnnie Johnson Trio. 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's adaptation of the country song "Ida Red"—which sold over a million copies, reaching number one on Billboard's Rhythm and Blues chart. By the end of the 1950s, Berry was an established star with several hit records and film appearances to his name as well as a lucrative touring career. He had also established his own St. Louis-based nightclub, called Berry's Club Bandstand. But in January 1962, Berry was sentenced to three years in prison for offenses under the Mann Act—he had transported a 14-year-old girl across state lines.

    Just let me hear some of that Rock 'n' Roll music
    Any old way you choose it
    It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
    Any old time you use it
    It's gotta be Rock Roll music
    If you wanna dance with me
    If you wanna dance with me
    I have no kick against modern jazz
    Unless they try to play it too darn fast
    And change the beauty of the melody
    Until they sound just like a symphony
    That's why I go for that Rock 'n' Roll music
    Any old way you choose it
    It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
    Any old time you use it
    It's gotta be Rock Roll music
    If you wanna dance with me
    If you wanna dance with me
    I took my loved one over across the tracks
    So she can hear my man avail a sax
    I must admit the have a rockin' band
    Man they were blowin' like a hurricane
    That's why I go for that Rock 'n' Roll music
    Any old way you choose it
    It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
    Any old time you use it
    It's gotta be Rock Roll music
    If you wanna dance with me
    If you wanna dance with me
    Way down South they gave a jubilee
    The jockey folks they had a jamboree
    They're drinkin' home brew from a wooden cup
    The folks dancin' got all shook up
    And started playin' that Rock 'n' Roll music
    Any old way you choose it
    It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
    Any old time you use it
    It's gotta be Rock Roll music
    If you wanna dance with me
    If you wanna dance with me
    Don't care to hear 'em play the tango
    I'm in the mood to dig a mambo
    It's way to early for the Congo
    So keep a rockin' that piano
    So I can hear some of that Rock 'n' Roll music
    Any old way you choose it
    It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
    Any old time you use it
    It's gotta be Rock Roll music
    If you wanna dance with me
    If you wanna dance with me
