The Beatles counted him as a huge influence on their shows and music. Can't get a better endorsement than that.

Just heard it on the news too.

He was one of the greatest.

He performed well into his 80's too they said.

He will be missed. When I saw the news, my thoughts went to when I was growing up in the 70's. We thought Chuck Berry was "old" then- and that was over 40 years ago. Time sure does fly.

RIP Chuck Berry
