@LvnAction oh please, if your scope is wide enough then you could call anything&everything an amalgam --a butterfly flapped its wings in china back in '56, that caused a pocket of air to push molecules into 4 x 4 time... chuck has been very open about where his influences came from & he deserves(way more) credit(than any that you have mentioned do) for putting it together--you do minimise the-father-of-r'n'r's contribution & can't even spell "rock'n'roll" or "eddie cochran" properly
@lukafafrenz I don't agree and neither do most writers on the subject. As for misspelling Cochran or the variant, (correct english spelling), of rock and roll, those are examples of grade school pettiness. Your use of the word amalgam is also absurd and bares the thinking of a poor debater. Please listen to the musicians in my list extensively, then make your opinion known. You sound more like you got your ideas from listening to Keith Richard blab about Chuck or from skimming Rolling Stone.
@LvnAction the mark of a poor debater is surely "shooting the messenger" & not arguing the message -- what i "sound like"? "grade school"? pugilism is a numbers game & depends on premises like "most writers" -- fact is not a popularity contest & truth is not a function of volume -- you are no authority on the subject & your misspelling is evidence of that -- the sum of all of the works of the artists you mention do not outweigh the sole (& soul) contribution of chuck berry on his own
@rodrigoraulsuarez Rock and Roll was a series of efforts from many musical traditions. Little Richard, Skiffle, The Everly Bros., Nat King Cole, Eddie Cockran, Fats Domino, Freddy Fender, Bee Bumble and The Stingers, Louis Jordan and Louis Prima to name but a few. There are Charlie Christian jams from the 30s that are very close to Rock and Roll. I don't minimize Mr. Berry's contribution. He is a progenitor; a jumping off point for just one stylistic variation. Rock and Roll is amalgam.

just because you're still alive, doesn't mean you still have to perform. I mean, Chuck is great. A walking legend, truly invented rock and roll. But this....isn't good. If Chuck from the 50's saw this he wouldn't know what to think
WOW! What an amazing guy - in his 80's and STILL ROCKIN! What an honor and privelage it would be to see one of the guys that STARTED rock n roll. Keep Rockin Chuck Berry!
