Chuck Berry

Chuck Berry was an African American musician who was very important to rock "n" roll music. He sung about things that other teenagers could relate to, like high school and other things. His songs were his black and white listeners. Chuck had to go to reform school before his graduation, because he was convicted of armed robbery. In 1957 he was signed to Chess Records,and within mouths  his Maybellene was a hit. He had more than a few run in with the law, he was spent two years in federal prison for taking a minor over state lines. When he got out things have changed and so did his music.
