Those famous guitar licks .... that raggedy rhythm and tongue-in-cheek vocal... He will be missed.

my first 45 was a chuck berry song. (johnny b goode was on the b side) many of my favorite bands had his songs in their regular live repertoire, including the grateful dead and the rolling stones. i never saw him live - missed my last chance over 5 years ago and have been regretting that ever since. for years he had a monthly residency at blueberry hill in st louis - his last show was october 2014.
keep on rockin, chuck!

phranque, I misread your post as "My first 45 years were a Chuck Berry song" and thought Yeah, I know what you mean.
Oops.

I talked with him once in Hollywood on the street. Can't remember what we talked about but I do remember his shoes were polished really well... and he was cranky :)
