Music career
Best known for his unforgettable tunes including “Johnny B. Goode,” “Maybellene,” “Roll Over Beethoven,” “Sweet Little Sixteen,” “School Days,” “Rock and Roll Music,” “Back in the U.S.A.” and “Memphis, Tennessee,” Berry had an immeasurable impact on rock music. Berry was among the first group of performers inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1986.
The rock legend had announced in October, on his 90th birthday that he was releasing a new album.
The album, titled “Chuck,” was to debut in 2017. It was his first new album in 38 years.
We send our condolences to Chuck Berry’s family. What a life well lived.
