Chuck Berry
Chuck Berry, a rock & roll pioneer, was born in 1926. He passed away in 2017 at the age of 90. Joe Lynch said that “Berry contributed three things to rock music: an irresistible swagger, a focus on the guitar riff as the primary melodic element, and an emphasis on songwriting as storytelling.” Chuck Berry is without a doubt responsible for the current state of rock music.
