Chuck Berry

Chuck Berry was an early rock and roll musician and one of the leaders of the "rockabilly" movement of combining country with rock. He was known for his wild playing style as opposed to the more reserved styles of other musicians (although Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis were even wilder). He was a charter member of the actual Hall of Fame. His hit Johnny B Goode has been covered by numerous artists and was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. Berry has influenced numerous artists including The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and Bruce Springsteen. He received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1984. Berry has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In the film Back to the Future, Marty rocks out to Johnny B. Goode while in 1955.
