Chuck Berry
Chuck Berry didn't just play rock 'n' roll; he invented its swagger. Released in 1959 on Chess Records, Berry Is on Top is where Berry slammed his flag into the musical mountaintop and declared, "This land is rock 'n' roll, and I own the real estate." This album and its anthems that built rock — "Johnny B. Goode," "Roll Over Beethoven" — was a starter kit for everything that came after. The riffs? Every garage band you've ever heard learned them here. The attitude? Let's just say Elvis may have swiveled his hips but Chuck wrote the manual.
Chess Records was the beating heart of American music in the 1950s — the place where blues went electric, soul started to simmer, and rock 'n' roll took its first wild steps. With Berry, and others, Chess didn't just join the rock 'n' roll revolution, they launched it. Berry Is on Top showed that blues roots and a country twang could collide and create something explosive!
Berry Is on Top is a cornerstone of rock, where swagger met swing, and a guitar god was born.
