Chuck Berry is HANDS DOWN the King!!!  When it comes to Rock and Roll, very few have come close to his influence on rock.  It is hard to believe that it was August 1, 1955 when “Maybellene” reached #5 on Billboard’s Best Sellers chart and topped the R&B chart for eleven weeks.

That means Chuck has rocked us for over 54 Years!!!! Unbelievable when you think about it.  And to this day, Maybellene will rock you just as hard as it rocked grandma and grandpa (actually it kicked their ass hard).

Below are a few of my favorite Chuck Berry cuts that don’t generally show up in the typical “best of” rotation.   Every music lover should have Chuck Berry: The Chess Box (Box Set) in their collection.   It will keep you up and rocking all night.

Listen: Chuck Berry – Tulane

Listen: Chuck Berry – Woodpecker
