no no no, the word niger was just as racist back then as it is now, racism was just tolerated , and just because it was tolerated more so back then dosn't make it right...you my friend are one very ignorant person
no he was a racist , he was even quoted in using the word niger, you should really check your facts....go head google it........sorry to brake the bad news
Dude, lurn too spel. You sound like some halfwit inbred semi-literate redneck.
Claiming Elvis was a racist because he used the 'n' word in a time period when it was "the standard" is like calling Snoop Dog a racist for using the n word.
@MrSoullicker Elvis was everything but racist. His friends used to tease him beacuse when he was young, he liked going to black R&B/Blues clubs and hanging out with black musicians. If he hadn't these influences, he would never succeed.
@CardingtonLZF That doesn't make any sense. He started out doing a cover of That's Alright, Mama, and then he began to write his own music. And the corporations at first wouldn't have even had access to him, considering they were all on the east coast and west coast. So learn your shit, fuckin' poser.
@Klaymator97 Nope, Elvis maybe wrote a few songs, but the overwhelming majority of them were not written by him. He covered songs written by other artists. And by corporation I meant the music industry in general.
@TweekDash It's not the lingering discrimination that stops him from being king, but rather the discrimination of the times. Regardless of cultural changes and strides in human decency, you just don't update past titles given to musicians. If that was true, we'd have to crown a new king of rock and roll and prince of pop every few years.
first of all Bob Wills was not the originator of "Ida Red" and secondly Mabelline was not the direct chord for chord rip off that Surfin' USA was This is not always an exact science To me this was Chuck's best record and his first big hit Chuck went on to write a whole catalogue of new songs but none beat this one Vaya Con Dios Chuck
@rbound827 Frank Loyld Wright did not invent architecture neither did Einstein invent physics but that doesn't make their accomplishments any the less and the same goes for Chuck Vaya Con Dios Chuck
@elamite66 No one argues the accomplishments of Berry-especially his gift of writing songs aimed at the teen market, where he knew the money was. My point was that Berry also "borrowed" from artist before him to create his sound and style as did the Beach Boys, although in their case they did a little more than borrow a guitar lick.
@rbound827 Ridiculous argument. EVERYONE has been influenced by everything that came before them. Isaac Newton referred to this as 'standing on the shoulders of giants' in regards to his laws of motion. Doesn't diminish what Newton or Chuck Berry did. They didn't copy anything, they were innovators.
@BubbaGanoush2 - Of course everyone is influenced by artists before them- I never said otherwise, and I'm not diminishing Berry's work-my comment was in response to those that believe that Berry invented the famous guitar intro for Johnny B Goode, to point out that Berry himself lifted things from other artists, in this case Louis Jordan's guitarist Carl Hogan.
@STRUTTER777U Me too, maybe 15-20 years ago. It was great. He and Jerry Lee Lewis played a show at the Fox here in St. Louis (mine and Chuck's hometown) and Chuck blew the crowd away. His daughter sang with him--she's very good. People would call songs out from the crowd and he'd play 'em. He's got 'em all down pretty well in his memory. :)
Chuck Berry, Fats Domino, Chubby Checker, Jerry Lee Lewis,etc. .... all those boys from the 50's and 60's. God dammit, THEY ARE ROCK and ROLL! I don't give a damn who told you different, these guys are the real deal. If you enjoy music the way it is today, thanks these guys. The world would be a much lesser place without them.
@nigelbruce232 Drums are among the more popular African instruments, but other important percussion instruments include clap-sticks, bells, rattles, slit gongs, struck gourds and clay pots, stamping tubes, and xylophones. African stringed instruments include the musical bow, lute, lyre, harp, and zither. The flute, whistle, oboe, and trumpet are among the African wind instruments.
(This should cure your disgusting racist uneducated view on a history your to ignorant to appreciate.)
@showcase90 Thanks for educating the ignorant..This is just an example of how the dominant conquering regime gets to re write history...You would have to make an effort to seek the truth because it is there.but the majority class is cozy with the narative that they are responsible for everything and those who they have conquered, marginalized and stolen from are just spectators..Thank god for the brits and most foreign cultures since they dont buy american bs about originators of this music!!
@nigelbruce232 There is no such thing as stealing in music. They are always trading and sharing between each other. There would be no Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley or Cowboy Bob Willis without the original blues, there would be no blues without black culture in america. Get your butt hurt ass out of here.
@jibbleman I agree with your assessment that covering a song isn't stealing.....however, in the case of Berry he took Wills arrangement and simply changed the words.....like George Harrison did to the Chiffons, he was actually made to pay 1.5 Million for stealing......As far as you thinking everything is due to black culture...who invented the instruments the black culture used ?....I can get ridiculous just like you
@nigelbruce232 the discussion is not about the instruments but who revolutionized music not just american music..without ragtime, blues, jazz , soul, r&b, rock and roll & hip hop..take this influence out of the equation, we would be listening and dancing to something different then we are now...music existed before the black american interpretation, but went to strastospheric levels because of it.Deep gut wrentching whaling soul combined with the rhythem & beat from africa.
@nigelbruce232 well chuck berry sued the beach boys for takin this and i dont recall reading sumwhere tht berry was sued or accused of stealin buy wills
@h1ph0pjunk1e You are correct the Beach Boys stole one of Berry's songs. Berry stole the arrangement of "Ida Red" from Cowboy Bob Wills. He turned the arrangement into "Maybelline". He denied it at first, but admitted to it years later.
My brother had Chuck Berry records and that turned me on to his greatness. Berry has a stature as great as Beethoven (roll over), Mozart, Wagner, all the greats.
@biddlez49 Uh..Elvis recorded his classic Sun Rockabilly songs at least a year before Berry ever walked into a recording studio. Elvis, as well as Bill Haley predated Berry.
@acemccoy100 You had better learn your facts. Ike Turner, Fats Domino, Bill Haley and Elvis all released rock and roll records two years before Chuck Berry. This song "maybelline" he stole from Cowboy Bob Wills. This is a remake of a song called "Ida Red" in which this arrangement was stolen from Cowboy Bob Wills. Berry just changed the words.
@coconutgirl96 thank you! i used to ride the bus to school and sang this with twin brothers that lived close to me. have always got a kick about that memory.
Listen they are all important. Whats more fascinating to me is the three biggest black Rock and Roll icons of the 50s are ALL still alive. When you think that many of the stars born after they exploded on the scene that is some crazy phenomenon.
Elvis was mainstrean rock n roll nothing wrong with that but that s what he was. Chuck Berry was raw open rock n roll. Alan Freed was raw in your face rock n roll promoter / DJ. Dick Clark was mainstream Rock N roll promoter who folloed the rules of the day, nothing wrong with that I ADORE Mr Clark too. Alan Freed BROKE the rules and norms of the day .......they all have a place in ROCK N ROLL history.
@larry666ize I got news, they ALL wanted money otherwise why bother, just sing at birthday parties. My point is Freed wsnt mainstrean Dick Clark was etc and they ALL have a part of rock n roll history THAT is my point.
@larry666ize Unless you lied about your age you would have been born about 1959 AFTER MR ALAN FREED S hayday and 6 when he actualy died SO I dont think you are the world s leading exspert on MR FREED S motives nor charactor. Shoot . How you you have been there if you werent even born yet.
Chuck Berry wrote or co wrote his own songs, as did the Beatles, Buddy Holly, Jan And Dean, and the real SUPER TALENTS of Rock N Roll. Not to say others werent great singers and deserve respect BUT the ARTISTS wrote AND sang.
@MikeSrdl Rolling Stones were influenced by Muddy Waters, not the Beatles. they started by trying to play blues and not really getting it right. When white people try to play blues it ends up being rock & roll.
You are misinformed jmorejennings - Elvis did write some songs and co-wrote others. But I agree that Chuck Berry had a massive effect on popular music - as did Buddy Holly - especially here in the UK. Both were great song writers - who knows what Buddy might have achieved?
love how everyone compared Chuck Berry to Elvis, Elvis never wrote a song out of the over 500 he recorded he never wrote a single song Elvis was just a performer not a artist like chuck or buddy holly the two greatest rock n rollers to ever grace this earth
With all due respect ,please do not compare a legendary frontman and admitted entertainment icon (Elvis) with a true rock god (Chuck Berry) who wrote and played his own songs that featured both string-bending dexterity and mind blowing poetry. It's like comparing The Beatles with The Monkees...
Chuck Berry started rock within the black commmunity, rock was generally a black community type of music, no offnse. Elvis just made it mainstream Pretty much the entire thing happens like this, Chuck made the river "rock" which was flowing with all it;s lkittle rock ' N roll fishies, and Elvis caught a fish from said stream and brought it to makret, people went nuts for it , wanted more and thus created the white genre of rock.
Chuck Berry had the uncanny ability to sing about sex and related issues without being noticed. His lyrics are so funny and intelligent at the same time. Not to mention that he changed the way guitar was played, creating the first rock sounds.
Now, Elvis... Good voice but nothing more than that. If it wasn't him, there definitely would have been somebody else, equally able. But I can't say the same about Chuck Berry - he was sui generis!
This is pretty hard rocking for 1958. Marty McFly should've sang this along with Johnny B. Goode.

@larry666ize Unless you lied about your age you would have been born about 1959 AFTER MR ALAN FREED S hayday and 6 when he actualy died SO I dont think you are the world s leading exspert on MR FREED S motives nor charactor. Shoot . How you you have been there if you werent even born yet.

Chuck Berry wrote or co wrote his own songs, as did the Beatles, Buddy Holly, Jan And Dean, and the real SUPER TALENTS of Rock N Roll. Not to say others werent great singers and deserve respect BUT the ARTISTS wrote AND sang.

@MikeSrdl Rolling Stones were influenced by Muddy Waters, not the Beatles. they started by trying to play blues and not really getting it right. When white people try to play blues it ends up being rock & roll.

You are misinformed jmorejennings - Elvis did write some songs and co-wrote others. But I agree that Chuck Berry had a massive effect on popular music - as did Buddy Holly - especially here in the UK. Both were great song writers - who knows what Buddy might have achieved?

love how everyone compared Chuck Berry to Elvis, Elvis never wrote a song out of the over 500 he recorded he never wrote a single song Elvis was just a performer not a artist like chuck or buddy holly the two greatest rock n rollers to ever grace this earth
jmorejennings 7 months ago
With all due respect ,please do not compare a legendary frontman and admitted entertainment icon (Elvis) with a true rock god (Chuck Berry) who wrote and played his own songs that featured both string-bending dexterity and mind blowing poetry. It's like comparing The Beatles with The Monkees...

Chuck Berry started rock within the black commmunity, rock was generally a black community type of music, no offnse. Elvis just made it mainstream Pretty much the entire thing happens like this, Chuck made the river "rock" which was flowing with all it;s lkittle rock ' N roll fishies, and Elvis caught a fish from said stream and brought it to makret, people went nuts for it , wanted more and thus created the white genre of rock.

Chuck Berry had the uncanny ability to sing about sex and related issues without being noticed. His lyrics are so funny and intelligent at the same time. Not to mention that he changed the way guitar was played, creating the first rock sounds.
Now, Elvis... Good voice but nothing more than that. If it wasn't him, there definitely would have been somebody else, equally able. But I can't say the same about Chuck Berry - he was sui generis!

Berry and Diddley created rock and roll, Alan Freed baptized it, Elvis introduced it to the world. Berry is the "True King"!

@powerface71 Berry also wrote his own stuff, which is more than I can say for another "King of Rock and Roll".
