OT Chuck Berry Passed Away at 90, RIP

[Herpolsheimer]

I saw him at Bercy in Paris. We were dancing on the floor about 40 rows back and had a great view as we were taller than most of the Europeans. He must have been in his mid 60s and he still danced the night away and rocked the house!

RIP Chuck. A true pioneer and entrepreneur.

An unbelievable performer, I grew up with Chuck Berry. One of my favorite early songs of his was "Maybellene" (when I was in High School - 1955).
I was at several Rock-n-Roll concerts (1960's - 1970's) where he put on quite a show.

GOD Bless his soul....and, comfort his family.

Great performer.

If a young rock and roller today, say Lady Gaga, did half the terrible stuff he did in his lifetime believe me no one here would be delivering accolades.

Not one of, but THE, most important single figure in rock 'n roll history. Unlike Elvis, for example, he not only sang but wrote songs (among the best ever)and played guitar (most influential guitarist in the genre).

However, in "Brown Eyed Handsome Man" he did write "2-3 the count" before guy hits one "into the sands." His local Cardinals did have a big day for him and did a Chuck Bobblehead.
