CHUCK BERRY 1926-2017
"Chuck Berry is one of the all-time great poets, a rock poet you could call him. He was well advanced of his time lyric-wise. In the Fifties, when people were virtually singing about nothing, Chuck Berry was writing social-comment songs, with incredible meter to the lyrics. We all owe a lot to him." - John Lennon, 1970
"If you had to give Rock 'n' Roll another name, you might call it Chuck Berry" - John Lennon (with Chuck Berry), Mike Douglas TV Show, 1972
