I love Chuck's Chess recordings, but he absolutely SUCKS live. Why? He sings out of key and his guitar never seems to be in tune. How can this be? Is he so arrogant that he feels he can do whatever and the audience will still love him? I don't get it at all. I once saw him at the Chicago blues festival (1986 I think) and he was simply terrible. All the other acts were solid and had great bands. He comes out and just sucks. I've never understood this about him.
A bad, bad man.....in a very good way. And one of the smartest businessman in the game. Chuck was always one step ahead of guys like Richard and Bo...
he is so clever with his money, even the guitar is called a tool so he gets another every 6 months, tax deductable. no time for sentimentality with Chucks guitars. alas he did end up getting caught for tax evasion, but i bet they didn't know the half of it. he seems one step ahead with his mathematical head.
it's a bloody shame that Chuck Berry's only number 1 in the UK was My Ding A Ling. if it wasn't for Chuck there would have been no Beatles or the Stones.
@michelle88960 LOL @ your comment :D' yes, weird that the song about singers and others ding-a-ling was the only hit in UK ? :P but lists mean nothing, maybe people still listened to all his hits.. :)
