Often imitated, never duplicated, simply amazing talent. Wayyyy under appreciated genuine musical artist.
I am listening to "The Great 28" in my car this week as a tribute. I don't normally get emotional or melancholy over the passing of performers, but if you had to trace the roots of rock-n-roll to just one guy, I nominate Chuck Berry. I can only hope his passing will cause more people to become aware just what an influence he was and how under-rated he is.
