I was fortunate to meet Chuck at a show in Greensboro, NC way back in June '81. Back then, he was very approachable and, thankfully, tolerated my bandmates and I being just starstruck. I mean, it's Chuck F*ing Berry! He was so kind and even autographed the back of my ticket (I still have that autograph!). When the show started, I was down in front loving every minute watching the King of Rock & Roll tear down the house! During his last song, he looked at me and motioned me up onto the stage! Properly tuned with several beers in me, I hauled my arse up on the stage because Chuck F*ing Berry told me to get up there with him! I'm proud to say that I did the "duck walk" with Chuck that night. I'm sure I looked ridiculous, a 6 foot 3 inch white dude duck walking with Chuck Berry but I didn't care. It is my fondest Rock & Roll memory.

We all thought it was cool that someone was playing old rock at a jazz festival. Turned out to be Chuck Berry, who unknown to us was the headline act. Best concert surprise I've ever had. Like a star he could still do the "duck walk" very successfully as you pointed out. So lucky.

Sorry, but chuck is no elvis. Elvis had more gold/platinum/multi than any other solo artist. Elvis could sing sucessfully any genre of his day often outdoing the original artists. Elvis blended Country Music with R&B and got his own unique style (as Rufus Thomas elaborated, he injected something new into black music). Elvis even recorded rock before chuck did. Johnny B from 1958 (a great song written by chuck, came out after the Rock era began in 55. Lots of folks see chucks vids and all attribute the songs being pushed back to the beginning of the rock era, which they were not, same with rosetta tharp, her early music sounded more like blues jazz than rock, yet they see her performances from 1965 (brit invasion era) and erroneously call it rock from the 1930s.

Chuck Berry was easily one of the best singers and performers. I'm 52 years old and have been listening to him since I started listening to music. He was from St. Louis, Missouri and just as famous for his "duck walk" as he was for his singing and guitar playing. My husband and I got the chance to see him perform in Blueberry Hill when Chuck Berry was 84 years old. He played concerts 1-2 times a month until about a year before he passed away. What a memorable and fantastic night it was to be able to see him live. If you look up Delmar Loop in St. Louis, you'll see a statue they put up of him. He was and still is loved and celebrated. So glad you all gave this song look and listen!

@scsu5085 4 күн бұрын

------- Not Exactly.... your'e hearing a 1958 song Johnny B and attributing it to the birth of rock & roll. Very incorrect. It's the same logic that is used for Rosetta Tharp's 1965 (Brit Invasion era) performances and thinking it was back in the 30s or 40s calling her the inventor of rock. Anyway, 1958 for JOhnny B is 3 yrs AFTER the Rock era officially began in 1955. Elvis recorded rock music 1 yr before Chuck. So did Bill Haily (Rock Around The Clock originally released 1st time in 1954). Elvis first recording of any kind was 1953, and then did rock in 1954. Elvis also was first to blend 2 styles: Country Music, Bluegrass, Pop with R&B and got a unique sound of his own, as Rufus Thomas said. But he was NOT exclusively a blues artist, as his lifetime music catalog was only a fraction of that genre, along with other styles. Elvis even had more R&B hits than chuck did,. Elvis was the man. But I certainly understand that some folks may like chuck better, that's subjective, but imperical data shows elvis above any other solo act. He's the one who fought the fight and thereby desegregated our music... for all other who coexisted or followed.

He's literally the greatest of his genre, he's inspired quite literally everyone in his genre and the subsequent rock genre that would come after it.

I had the honor of seeing Chuck in concert back around the turn of the century. The man was in his 80s, and could still duck walk. I'll never forget it as long as I live. Most of his set was the blues, but he did Johnny B. Goode as his closing number, and everyone lost their freakin' minds.

Along with Little Richard and other black artists. Elvis has said himself that Chuck was a huge influence on him.

Elvis and Tom Jones attended a Chuck Berry show during some off time in Vegas, and Elvis told Tom, that Chuck was the true King of Rock n Roll.. Of course, Elvis has also said that about Fats Domino. My opinion, they were all great performers and all have their place in Rock n Roll history.
