My artist is Chuck Berry and he spacialized in rock and roll. Hes is pretty much the founder of rock and roll. He invented, perfected, and set the standard for this type of music. But the biggest accomplishment was that all of this was done by teaching himself to play.

Chuck Berry was a troublesome child. He was arested for armed robbery before he graduated High School. Something interesting about Chuck Berry is that he had a statue made and put in in St. Louis, Missouri. he was born in 1926 and is still alive and around till this day. That makes him 86 years old, thats pretty amazing if you ask me. Also, Joe Perry, guitarist of Aerosmith, says he's quote "a national treasure."

One of the most famous songs written buy Chuck Berry was "Jonny B Goode." Another was "School Days." I'm shure that the arest was a big part of his career because he turned his life around through music. No types of musice influenced him beacuse he created his own, he invented rock and roll.

Chuck Berry ahs influenced all the major "rocker" today like Joe Perry, The Beach Boys, The Beatles, and many more. he has left behind the standard of rock and roll and also he owns the title of "the father of rock and roll." He has changed the musical world buy leaving behind a new type of music.

I learned that Chucky Berry wasn't the best child to be around but he also changed his life to make himself great. He has tought me that no matter how badly you may screw up, you can always make it right.
