Chuck Berry was an American guitarist, singer and songwriter, born in 1926 in St. Louis, and is often called the “father of rock and roll.” With classics like “Johnny B. Goode”, “Roll Over Beethoven” and “Sweet Little Sixteen”, he laid the foundation for modern rock music. His energetic guitar playing and witty lyrics made him an icon. An unusual detail is that his famous “duck walk” actually started by accident when he tried to pull up his pants during a show without stopping his guitar playing, and the audience loved it so much it became his trademark.
