As influential as any artist on the rock n roll genre and a total showman. He was 90 and had been active touring well into his 80's. RIP.

Ah, tough news.
Love the music. Love the man.
Brilliant songwriter; fabulous performer; all around had the goods.
Back in the 1980s I remember spending some time trying to convince a friend to throw his guitar in the back of my car with mine, and we'd drive down to St. Louis, knock on his door and see if he'd play with us for five minutes.

I used to play in a band and I've played a LOT of post-1955 music, and it's tough to write the kinds of songs Chuck Berry wrote: they need to be concise lyrically and musically direct and tuneful. The only comparable to him is Hank Williams (the first and best one, imho), albeit he's of course CW/country swing. The early Beatles and early Motown stuff also excelled in this area, as well as a few tin pan alley outputs.

I used to confuse the two when I was five years old.
Chuck Berris and Chuck Barry, too.
They were all friends, I assumed.
