Rock and roll originated and evolved in the United States of America in late 40s and early 50s, Chuck Berry was one of the few artists that imprinted early in the rock and roll industry. With songs like Maybellene, Roll Over Beethoven, Johnny B. Goode, Rock ‘n’ Roll Music and so on. Always delivering great music, that’s what his legacy was about.
