Chuck Berry: Hail Hail Rock n' Roll

Travel with Chuck from his early days in St. Louis to his extraordinary recording at Chess Records to his off-stage exploits with the law and then to his induction into the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame.

Without Chuck Berry we would not have rock n' roll as we know it-he was the greatest rock writer, one of the greatest guitarists and one of its greatest performers of all time.  Elvis was the spark that fueled rock n' roll but Chuck Berry became its heartbeat.  John Lennon said it best "If you were going to give rock n roll another name, you might call it Chuck Berry."  Please register everyone in your group who will be attending.
