Chuck Berry

Not only was he still alive, he was still recording. Think he packed in touring just a few years ago.

 

He really was one of the guys who started it all. Superb songwriter, brilliant performer, inspiring figure. Some other artists would never have got off the ground without building on his work. (Literally in some cases: Surfing USA by Brian Wilson was co-credited to Berry after a court case because it's so close to Sweet Little Sixteen.)

 

Most of rock and roll's early figures are now dead. Jerry Lee Lewis - still touring - won't have long either.

Saw Berry live at the Apollo in Glasgow about 1971 or 72.  One of the greats.

"Any nation given the opportunity to regain its national sovereignty and which then rejects it is so far beneath contempt that it is hard to put words to it."
