Chuck Berry
Chuck Berry, the pioneer of Rock and Roll, was born in 1926. In 2017, he passed away at the age of 90. According to Joe Lynch, “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.” There is no question that today’s rock music would not be what it is today if it weren’t for Chuck Berry.
