During the Special Olympics Summer games held at ECU in the early 90s, Chuck performed at the opening ceremonies! All of the athletes, coaches, and volunteers were treated to one heck of a show! I will always admire him for taking time out to put smiles on our athletes' faces! God Bless Chuck Berry!

Count John Lennon, Ringo Starr and yours truly among Berry's biggest fans. :lol: In fact, the Beatles thought Berry was a man way, way ahead of his time. Pretty fab compliment. That places Berry among some pretty good company. Rock-n-Roll HOF!

Things Chuck Berry did on guitar were unheard of at the time and are still the back bone of rock n roll guitar. Thank you Chuck for inspiring so many guitarist that we have been able to enjoy.

Not exactly a model citizen, but was a fantastic talent and pioneer in Rock and Roll.

Unbelievable that such an influential rock legend's only number one single was "My Ding-a-Ling." :roll:
RIP
