Collected (Limited Edition, Digipack Packaging) [Import] (3 Cd's) [CD]

Description Spanning seven decades, Berry's career concluded with a final album, Chuck, released posthumously in 2017. Celebrated as a songwriter, guitarist, and performer, Berry's impact on rock and roll remains immeasurable. The compilation showcases his groundbreaking work, cementing his status as a music legend. And includes newly written liner notes. Chuck Berry, often hailed as the godfather of rock 'n' roll, revolutionized music with his pioneering style and storytelling. His 1955 hit "Maybellene," blending country with rhythm & blues, marked the dawn of rock and roll. Berry's knack for crafting relatable, youth-centric songs like "School Day," "Johnny B. Goode," and "Sweet Little Sixteen" spoke to the heart of teenage life, celebrating themes like love, rebellion, and music. "Johnny B. Goode," often seen as autobiographical, features one of the most iconic guitar licks in history, inspiring generations of musicians. Berry's influence extended to legends like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, who covered his work, ensuring his legacy endured through the British Invasion. Despite his fame, Berry's storytelling also resonated with older audiences, as seen in poignant tracks like "Memphis, Tennessee." His live performances remained electrifying, culminating in a global hit with "My Ding-A-Ling" in 1972.
