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!
