Description
Description
In the 1950's one main man sparked the form and feel of rock-n-roll. By mixing country music with blues and aiming his lyrics to a teenage audience, Chuck Berry took a whole generation to new heights. Not only was he a phenomenal guitar player, but he cut a fashionable figure onstage in sharp suits and a swanky hairdo. He could dance and the poetry he sang made you want to shake. And when he'd do his famous "duck walk", squatting down to walk while tearing up a lead on guitar, the crowd would go wild.
