This has saddened me beyond belief, I was playing his riffs at 16. One of my all time Rock & Roll heroes. He may have had a somewhat lurid private life, but he will be remembered for his music. How many famous bands started out doing Chuck Berry covers? |

In 1984 he was presented with a Grammy Award lifetime achievement prize and was among the first to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986. I saw his exhibit when I went there in the fall of 2011. Tributes |
