Chuck Berry, the
singer, songwriter and guitar great who practically defined rock music with his
impeccably twangy hits “Maybellene,” “Roll Over Beethoven,” “Memphis,” “My
Ding-a-Ling” and “Sweet Little Sixteen,” has died. He was 90.
The
singer/songwriter, whose classic “Johnny B. Goode” was chosen by Carl
Sagan to be included on the golden record of Earth Sounds and Music launched with Voyager in
1977, died Saturday afternoon, St. Charles County Police
Department confirmed. The cause of death was not revealed.
During his 60-plus years in show
business, Berry in 1986 became one of the first inductees into the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame. He entered The Blues Foundation’s Blues Hall of Fame in ’85
and that year also received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.
