96 is a damn good innings, though
But a nasty piece of work that ain't done a decent thing since the 60's.
Would love to have seen him in his heyday, must have been awesome.

The venue was a 2000 seater theatre type and towards the end those at the front were getting up and dancing, which did not please the security guys who starting making people sit down. Chuck Berry saw this happening and stopped the band mid-song, and angrily told the security guys to leave the audience alone, then helped a load of them up onto stage and then carried on playing. The local paper reported sightings of him boarding the last train to London that evening with guitar case in hand, such was his dislike of any unnecessary expenses.
Did he not have two cases of abuse of minors against him that he traded (pleaded to a lessor charge) or bought his way out of? Also a known abuser in general.
Good music no doubt, but can't help feeling he should have faced some kind of justice before death.
Harsh? Keen to know thoughts. Not looking for arguments here as I might be misrembering things here, and could do with some views.
RIP Chuck.
Regardless of his personal behaviour he was a huge influence on western popular music heavily influencing the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, ACDC and pretty successful in his own right. Chuck was heavily influenced by Muddy Waters and T Bone Walker as well as jazzier guys like Louis Jordan. However, Chuck brought these influences over to a wider audience and is a link between black American music and it reaching a wider audience.
Edit: nearly forgot RIP Chuck. I highly recommend his autobiography BTW.
Johnny B Goode was the first song I learnt by ear, aged 13. I'm still learning from that Saturday afternoon.

Yes.
He did face justice, he was charged, convicted and imprisoned.
Also you make him sound like a Savill-style paedophile, whereas in fact he had sex with a 14 year old who was working at a night club. If every rock star who'd had sex with a girl under 16 went to prison......well, that would be all of them I'd guess.
But he was black and famous, and made the mistake of taking her from one state to another = federal case.
Not condoning it, but lets keep things in proportion.
RIP Chuck. Like many others, made me want to pick up the guitar.
except perhaps "my ding - a- ling "
My mate did PA for him about 15-20 years ago, the rider was two plane tickets, chuck and guitar, return flights same day. Two hookers in a limo to drive him around until showtime.
Band would not meet him until he gets on stage and his instructions are when I stamp my foot we stop.
Wrote the book on rock and roll guitar, I know I copied so much off his guitar playing. I also thought he wrote some of the greatest rock and roll songs that identified with teenagers ever.
School days, You never can tell, Sweet little 16 and No particular place to go are amazing without Johnny B Goode and the rest of his classic stuff.
Sometimes especially in the UK we build stars up so much as wonderful artists, but guys like Chuck Berry are still nasty pieces of work.
Modern music would VERY different if it wasn't for Chuck. The Guitar Hero's Hero.
