The article says he helped define rock and roll. Holy Shit! That could be an understatement. Berry wasn't the teen heartthrob like Elvis Presley, but he knew how to keep a relentless beat driving forward with a forceful command until people were on the verge of losing their breath. When I think of rock and roll, that's the sound that comes to mind.

Berry was legendary. When I heard the news, last night, I was surprised...that he hadn't died a long time ago.

That last link was a performance from 2007. He must have been 80 at the time. He was still looking pretty healthy.
