Born October 18, 1926 in St. Louis, Missouri [Died] March 18, 2017. American pop musician from Missouri. His real name was Charles Edward Anderson Berry. He started his musical career in 1952 with a blues band. In 1955, he produced his first record, Maybellene. He created a style of rock music with a fresh melody that mixed blues and country and western, and a guitar style with unique riffs that left a strong impression, and he is called the "father of rock music" and the "god of rock music." In addition, his lyrics consciously avoided blues-like elements, and instead expressed the lives and feelings of American middle-class teenagers using clever double meanings, which earned him support from many young people across races. He is famous for his "duck walk" on stage. His hit songs include "Roll Over Beethoven" (1956), "Rock and Roll Music" (1957), and "Johnny B. Goode" (1958), which was included on the record "Sounds of the Earth" aboard Voyager 1. He also had a major influence on later musicians, such as the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Berry |
