chuck berry(m2)

I would have to say Chuck berry is one of the earliest rock and roll artists out there and one of the greatest too!  The great Chuck berry was born on October 18, 1926, in Louis Missouri. When Chuck Berry was a  boy he showed great interest to music; when he was 6 year  showed great talent for music and joined a church choir. That was only the beginning for chuck berry's musical  career  he also went into talent shows and he was interested in guitars he taught himself to play one. in Grade school chuck was a trouble makers and he didn't like school at all and in 1944 when he was 17 years old him and his two buddy's dropped out of high school. After he dropped out  he went on the wrong path  and went on a robing spree. It turned out very bad at the end and chuck got arrested by a highway patrolmen after stealing a car.Then Chuck berry went to jail for a few years for all of the changes and after that he did nothing for a few years when he moved to Chicago and that is where all the musical magic happened. In 1955 a few weeks after chuck moved there he started writing songs and he recorded  a great song and it shot up the musical charts and it was called Maybellene. Some other songs  That chuck Berry played were  too much monkey business, you can never tell, no particular place to go, back in the USA, I'm talking about you, mean old world and brown eyed handsome man. Some great accomplishments Chuck berry had was  being a  huge influence for rock and roll and starting it too. Another accomplishment he had was being the first one ever inducted into the rock and roll in 1986 and that in 1985 he won a Grammy life time achievement award.  I would have to say that Chuck Berry is one of the fathers of rock and roll!

  David Robert Jones aka  David Bowie is one of the greatest singers of rock and roll of his time! When young David bowie was just a young lad  he few in love with music at a very young age. When David was 13 years old he learned how to play the saxophone and a big influence on  David bowie to get into music was his brother  terry; who got David into rock and roll when he was only nine years old.  When David graduated high school when was 16  years old  and  after school  he started working as a commercial artist. When he was working as a commercial artist  he played in bands on the side and  David changed his last name to Bowie because he didn't want to be mistaken with head singer from the Monkees  David Jones. He thought of the last name Bowie because of a man who made a knife in the 19th century. After a few years singer in the few bands he did,David bowie  decided  to go out on his own in the music world and 1969 David bowie full time job was all about music! When he devoted his  life to music he signed with Mercury records and recorded and released his single Space oddity.  David bowie  started to get successful but the one thing that set him over the top was in 1970 when he released his album called The man who sold the world. Some Nick names David Bowie got was Ziggy stardust and the pop chameleon  and   a quote David bowie once said was "when I'm  stuck for  a closing to a lyric, I will drag to my last resort: overwhelming illogic.  Some of David  Bowie songs are  let's dance, rebel rebel, dancing in the street, life on mars, The Stars and I'd rather be high.One big accomplishment in David Bowie life was in 1996 when he was inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame.
