Chuck Berry wrote the songs that turned Rock & Roll into the teenage revolution that it was. He also marketed them through his catchy and influential lyrics -

“It’s gotta be rock & roll music if you wanna dance with me”

“Well I looked at my watch, it was 9:21, We was at a rock n’ roll dance havin too much fun!”

“Well I’m gonna write a little letter, gonna mail it to my local DJ. There’s a jumpin little record I want my jockey to play. Roll over Beethoven, I gotta hear it again today.”

“Hail Hail Rock & Roll! Deliver me from the days of old”

These words went into the hearts and minds of the kids and created a passionate movement that changed the country and the world. Say what you want about Chuck… he was the father of rock n’ roll.
