Charles Edward Anderson Berry (San Luis, Misuri, 18 de octubre de 1926-Wentzville, Misuri, 18 de marzo de 2017),[1][2] conocido artísticamente como Chuck Berry, fue un compositor, intérprete, cantante y guitarrista estadounidense. Es considerado uno de los músicos más influyentes de la historia del rock and roll,[3] siendo uno de los pioneros de dicho género musical. Gracias a canciones como "Maybellene" (1955), "Roll Over Beethoven" (1956), "Rock and Roll Music" (1957) y "Johnny B. Goode" (1958), Berry redefinió los elementos del rhythm and blues.[4]
The greatest line in music, "I saw her getting into a coffee colored Cadillac" We all know what the color of coffee is, but to each one of us it is different, example if you drink your coffee with or without cream, and then how much cream will give you a different coffee colored Cadillac. Decades ago in a Psych glass I took in Grad school we tested this theory with a 125 students for their definition of a coffee color Cadillac, only 2 of 125 agreed on the same color, and in a follow up question all the male students who participated when asked to describe Nadine had the lady with a very attractive derriere! The power of words and the genius of Chuck Berry, with out him, Little Richard, Fats Domino, and James Brown my childhood through early adulthood would have been so boring! Thank you Chuck!
In 1980 I was on a Navy ship doing a training cruise, and we stopped in Seattle for a few days. I went out into the town and just stumbled into the Bumbershoot festival. While walking around I saw there was a free concert with Chuck Berry opening. I can't remember who the main act was, but I remember I didn't like them. There were about 30 people in the audience, but Mr. Berry put on a show like there were 10000! I was in the front row, very appreciative, and Mr. Berry made it plain to me he appreciated me. As he finished his set people were starting in. I just couldn't believe they would not want to see Chuck Berry. I stayed for about one minute of the next band, then got up and left. No better in person then on the radio. If it had been one of the other days I might have seen Emmylou Harris, or Etta James.
Now THAT's what I call talent! Chuck was so, so good at his presentation. I can't imagine how this must have been viewed in late 50's racist America! It's a wonder he wasn't shot! Absolutely fantastic!!
Chuck Berry era uno di quei 2 o 3 che non suonavano la chitarra, Chuck Berry era un grande cantante, grande presenza sul palco, la chitarra era una parte del corpo come una mano o una gamba, il suono veniva direttamente dal cervello e dal cuore era un'espressione del momento, una vibrazione.
Tell Ya' What The Legend Goes "KEEF Richards Plays Chuck Berry BETTER Than Chuck Berry"..! But I Gotta Tell Ya' - On This Little Gem Of A Clip. Chuck Lays Down Some Of THE MOST Melodic Little Nuances, Accents & Starts & Stops..! That I've EVER Heard Him Play EVER..! WOW I'm Speechless, NOT EVEN KEEF Could Have, Thought Those UP, While Spending A Lifetime Of MASTERING Chucks Licks ..! This Fucking Clip Is The CHUCK - Nuclear Bomb..! Being A Guitar Player -THIS Was One Of The BEST Discoveries For CHUCK EVER..!
@64downtown You've got a great memory. It was recorded in Sydney, and luckily it was a clear night. Recorded on an old National VCR, though at the time it was only 6 years old. It lasted years - i've actually still got it, and it still works well. Thank you - Merry X !!
I read Bill Graham's book. Graham asked if he wanted a check or cash the first time he played the Fillmore. Berry gave him a look that said "Are you serious?" So Graham wrote out a check, had Berry sign it and then Graham slid him the cash. I think after many bad experiences with promoters early in his career he always demanded cash. BTW, fantastic book.
Oh, yes, we ALL love Chuck!! :) I imagine it's age related, heck i'm a good deal younger yet have difficulty some days getting out of bed !! Many thanks! Cheers, :)
@karod77 He travels solo and uses whichever musos are available. Very funny story when he toured Russia some years ago - demanded to be paid cash, before going on stage !! Think it was Russia,,, Thank you !! :)
I'm trying to figure out when Chuck lost it... he still had rhythm and tonality in this video, but in recent videos starting in 2010 ish he has lost his ability to sing melodies, instead grunting the lyrics, and plays in the wrong key, only having flashes of sounding good. Totally understandable considering his age; I still love him.
Pure Talent !!! He's Singing like a Telling Story...god of Rock and Roll...
True, he's making that guitar talk. Amazing!
il n'y a pas une journée sans regarder Chuck Berry chanter sur scène accompagné dew ses musiciens quel talent il est génial irremplaçable unique

Chuck is so good here! Thanks for a great clip!

@kjetin99 And thank you!! He was in great form in '89... wish i had a whole 90 min concert of him like this...
I read Bill Graham's book. Graham asked if he wanted a check or cash the first time he played the Fillmore. Berry gave him a look that said "Are you serious?" So Graham wrote out a check, had Berry sign it and then Graham slid him the cash. I think after many bad experiences with promoters early in his career he always demanded cash. BTW, fantastic book.
Thanks, I might have a read. :)

@relumev3 That's a fantastic compliment, and i'm sure Chuck appreciates it -- many thanks!!
Is that really from 1989 ? He would have aged very quickly between Hail Hail in 1986 and this...
❤
Roll over Chuck Berry and tell John Lennon then news.
same in Perth in the late 70's early 80's
He manages to make his guitar sound like Little Walters harp.

I'm trying to figure out when Chuck lost it... he still had rhythm and tonality in this video, but in recent videos starting in 2010 ish he has lost his ability to sing melodies, instead grunting the lyrics, and plays in the wrong key, only having flashes of sounding good.

Strang way to love someone !!!!!
🎧🎸
He was always drunk when he played live lol
Well, actually I am pretty sure he was stoned rather than drunk.
No comment // RAa
O CARA TOCA DEMAIS//
Berry, doesn't get great credit for his guitar skills.
Georgia Democrat that's me 4life
Sempre il re del rock n roll
Ja lla Habibi and Jeff Weiner I can send it again but didn't
Elvis had stolen away what should have been Chuck's...
You will always be in my heart Berry
He never practices with the house band, his guitar is always out of tune. shame.
ser

Campaign shouting like a Georgia Democrat .. 🤩 whoever sings this with "southern diplomat" .. is like Get the fk out of here
“ like a Georgia Democrat “ 😅
The band sound pretty lame !
