Forget Presley the crooner, this is the man who truly invented rock n'roll. His songs sound just as good today as they did 50 years ago.

[@pazamor9164]

He is just the soul of Rock N' Roll music, no one can deny it and I'm sure that the time will show it for the new generations, because the media can fool some people, but it will not be able to fool the people forever.

[@sideshowbob5237]

Agreed. Much as I despise the BBC they got his best ever performance when he was at his prime.

[@MP40meatballTR]

This guy is literally a living, breathing metronome. Pay close attention to his right hand to see how he plays multiple different rhythm patterns over the same drum beat and effortlessly catch the groove after he occasionally stops playing

[@allaboard70]

Fantastic musician all the way ! ! !

Who dislike this surely are deaf or without ears completely or maybe poor elvis fan this man was the inventor of rock and roll and no one can say other things. What a period of time was everything pure and so much effort comparing too the crap shit music we have now 😫🤐😒😒😓😔😌

Enjoying hoovy music, again

[@karladt9377]

I see a lot of people in the comments saying that Chuck Berry the real king of rock and roll, not Elvis. Chuck is actually known as the father of rock and roll, which to me seems like a higher position than a king, because it sounds more like he actually started rock and roll with that title (though that is incorrect).

[@vicenteescosa8940]

Wow excellent.

[@scootergeorge7089]

Brian Wilson and Mike Love "borrowed" from this one for "Surfing USA." He eventually gave Chuck Berry writers credit. Probably to avoid being sued.

Original sounds better

[@j.catzen6477]

Ummm these lyrics are very questionable...unless he wrote it when he was 18 or under😂

[@BasedBrainrot]

chuck berrys definately one of the guys you gotta seperate the artist from the person. his music was ahead of its time and still holds up, but he was a terrible person. if you think 16 is bad google "chuck berry 14" This performance is from 1972 but if i recall correctly, the original is from 58' which would make him 31-32 when it was made💀💀
