Shake me up Judy Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Can't believe that all the so called musos on here have failed to recognise Chuck's passing. He was a genius with words and lyrics, changed guitar playing forever, and was a blistering live performer. The Beatles and the Stones worshipped at his feet. If you don't understand it then start with Maybellene, his first single and one of the greatest three minutes in music ever recorded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to appreciate how people like Berry changed music in the 1950s. Some of his live performances are fantastic to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

llap Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I liked his music. Interesting to think of all the groups who have come and gone and he lived past so many of them. Drugs are bad, mmm kay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzzi Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 No wonder this seemed exciting in 1958. One of the most uplifting and life affirming tunes I've ever heard. Oh man that little coloured (country) boy could play! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
