To me Chuck berry is the true father of Rock N Roll
Elvis was the biggest first, but he did not specialize in ROCKIN.
little richard was the first flamboyant over the top personality but he played the piano, not the guitar. (originally rock n roll lead insturments were sax and piano. Chuck Berry got that guitar to shove the rock up the kid's asses 60 years ago.)
Chuck Berry riffed it rock style.
for anyone who wants a primer, go and buy THE GREAT 28, which you can find on CD value saver for under $9.00 in most places.
