Born in St. Louis Missouri on October 18, 1926, Chuck Berry was one of the greatest rock and roll artists of all time. Chuck berry’s first public performance was at Summer High School when he was only a teenager. By early 1953, Berry was influenced by T-Bone Walker’s guitar riffs and showmanship techniques. About two years later, Berry started performing with the Johnie Johnson Trio. However, his break came when he traveled to Chicago and Met Muddy Waters. After that, Chuck Berry became famous. He produced the songs “Come on,” “Maybellene,” and “Run Rudolph Run.” He used his guitar and his voice in all of his songs. Most of Berry’s songs were based of of teen life and consumerism, so his audience consisted of mostly teens. However, he did perform “My Ding-Ling” to a White House concert. Chuck Berry’s music ended up bringing black and white people together. He also ended up being one of the first to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. That is the story of Chuck Berry.
Here is “Run Rudolph Run” by Chuck Berry.
Hi Brad,
Thank you for sharing such an interesting biography of a Musician as Chuck Berry.
I wonder how did he manage to bring black and white people together? Was it the appeal hidding in his lyrics? Was it the strength of his own powerful ideal?
Anyhow, bringing different people together remains on of the most urgent and desired quests of our time.
We must deal with very different insights and perspectives about life and we strive to make them fit within the frame of a loyal dialogue.
If we listen carefully to so many ways of being on Earth and to conceive meaningful strategies to help building a better place, it seems human beings are not so opposed and distant from each other?
What do you think?
