Unfortunately, the 90-year-old man could not be revived and was pronounced deceased at 1:26 p.m.
“The St. Charles County Police Department sadly confirms the death of Charles Edward Anderson Berry Sr., better known as legendary musician Chuck Berry.”

"I'm gonna get me a car
And I'll be headed on down the road
Then I won't have to worry
About that broken down, raggedy Ford."

Chuck Berry, "No Money Down"

The real king of rock and roll.

Re: Chuck Berry died
 

Chuck was awesome but the true king of Rock and Roll in terms of influencing just about everyone who followed was Buddy Holley -and he did it all in 18 months -Karl

Re: Chuck Berry died
 

Loved his music. One of my all-time favorites. Really sad to hear that.

Re: Chuck Berry died
 

Rest in peace Chuck. Prayers for your family.
You were real cool.

Re: Chuck Berry died
 

First one to sing about a safety belt but I think he was really referring to a bra hasp.

Re: Chuck Berry died
 

If you wanted your Ford to go faster you turned up Chuck Berry...

Re: Chuck Berry died
 

I had a friend in New Orleans many years ago with a '32 3-window coupe, a "real deal" hot rod back then that he always called "Maybelline". DD

Re: Chuck Berry died
 

Think I'll put on the Chuck Berry 'disc', just soon as Johnny Cash is done....
Yup, KING, for sure, as Elvis, Buddy Holley et al....were influenced and imitated him.

Rest in peace Chuck, but won't miss you, because you will be singing here for as long as things hold up !!

Re: Chuck Berry died
 

Always loved his music and his duck walk! Another legend and wonderful talent gone.

Re: Chuck Berry died
 

How true!
.. RIP a true legend.

Re: Chuck Berry died
 

Sadly missed, but look for a release this summer that Chuck had recorded with Gary Clark Jr and several family member players.

Re: Chuck Berry died
 

Shortly before I married my wife I took her to a Chuck Berry concert. When Chuck did the "Duck Walk" I commented "Look at that old man cook". I think he was 46 at the time.

You will be missed.

Re: Chuck Berry died
 

?
Elvis was released That's All Right Mama a full year before Chuck released Maybellene. He wasn't imitating Berry.

I like them all but Eddie Cochran's my favorite.

RIP Chuck, saw him 3 nights in a row on the Strip in the mid 70's.

Re: Chuck Berry died
 

I have always loved Chuck Berry's music! His lyrics have been a part of my responses for years.

Keep V-8ing and 4-banging!

Re: Chuck Berry died
 

Saw a sign at Sonics yesterday that said "Chuck Berry will be missed. Now hiring." I guess they need someone to take Chuck's place.

Re: Chuck Berry died
 

Chuck Berry left a bitter taste in a NZ promotor's mouth when he visited here a while back.

According to this guy he was a great performer but an a'hole of a person. He was here with Bo Didley who was also a great performer but he also a nice guy. Not taking anything away form the man as a musician, but this is an interesting article. He no doubt would have disappointed his NZ fans.

Re: Chuck Berry died
 

Many of us here have fond memories of cruising Main St. listening to
Chuck Berry and all the other greats in the 50's and 60's.
Its news like this that makes us reflect on our own mortality.
Here's to all of us ,may we all make it to 90 or beyond.
Rock & Roll and V8 Fords, FOREVER !!
