A landmark work in rock and roll literature, Chuck Berry: The Autobiography chronicles the life and career of one of music's most influential architects in his own unfiltered, candid voice. Berry traces his journey from his early years in St. Louis through his meteoric rise to fame, detailing the creative process behind iconic songs that would forever reshape popular music and inspire generations of artists from the Beatles to the Rolling Stones. Written with the same wit, swagger, and irreverence that defined his stage persona, the narrative presents an unflinching look at the racial barriers he confronted in mid-twentieth-century America, the legal troubles that punctuated his career, and the relentless drive that kept him performing for decades. Berry illustrates how rhythm and blues, country, and boogie-woogie fused in his hands to birth a new sound, offering readers an intimate portrait of the man who, as John Lennon once declared, gave rock and roll its very name.
