Charles Edward Anderson "Chuck" Berry is considered one of the greatest pioneers of rock and roll. Chuck Berry was born on October 18, 1926 in St Lewis, Missouri. Berry refined the influence of what was known as the Blues in to what is now known as Rock and roll. Chuck berry's distinctive rhythm blues is what made a huge elemental change to music in general. His greatest works include "Maybellene", "Roll Over Beethoven", "Rock and Roll Music", and "Johnny B. Goode". He loved focusing on what teen life meant to him in most of his music. Berry first recorded with Chess Records 1957. Reaching number one, "Maybellene" found on the "After School Session" album, had sold over a million copies. Chuck berry continued to record 18 studio albums all the way up to 1979. Chuck berry wrote songs that fit my line of music, which is found in the blues/ rock genera. Berry wrote Oldies music and I'm proud that I'm probably one of the only people in this school that would allow my self to listen to it. I focus on music that people dont listen to. So trust me when i say, what people like, in my opinion, is crap. Because in reality one would think if it wasnt for the blues and the original rock, you wouldnt have your rap, unfortunantly we do.

I think Oldies should make a comeback, too. People don't realize how groundbreaking a lot of it was at the time it was recorded.
