Yes, Chuck Berry was indeed the man that gave us the duck walk.
Nope. T-bone Walker was already doing the duck walk in the 1930’s along with playing with his teeth and behind his head. He was among the first few to play an electric guitar solo.
In an interview Chuck Berry said that he began doing the duck walk because his pants split and he had to hide it.
@@Eyes-of-Horus This is truth
Definitely
Roll Over Beethoven is a good one by him. Chuck Berry was a classy guy. He knew how to put on a great show. He had a sound of his own.
Chuck invented the Duck Walk alright, Chuck was a great pioneer. Though it is great to see the other who took and ran with it keeping that spirit of performance alive in Rock.
Just like Jimmy Hendrix didn’t invent playing behind his head or with his teeth (T-bone Walker preceded him as did many other showmen), Chuck didn’t invent the duck walk. He was just doing it when someone pointed a camera at him. Actually, T-bone Walker was already doing the duck walk in the 1930’s. In fact, if someone did something with an electric guitar, including playing a solo, T-bone Walker probably did it first (or second or third).
One of Rock's Architects
"No Particular Place to Go" is another great Chuck song
Angus Young-AC/DC- states his duck walk is a huge homage to Chuck Berry. Glad you love it- Chuck influenced so many guitarists!
Thank you for this! He helped invent rock & roll. He wrote all his songs. He invented duck walk, using the guitar the way he did, and he’s rapping the verses. Yes, he walked into Chess Records, played this song, but called it “Ida Red”, and they signed him on the spot. The Chess house band had Willie Dixon on bass, and Chuck brought the great Johnny Johnson in to play piano on his early records. “Too Much Monkey Business”, “Roll Over Beethoven”, “Around and Around”, “Nadine”, and he released a very good album just before he died a couple years ago called ‘Chuck’. He was 90 years old, I think.
Maybellene was Chuck Berrys first single in 1955, it was originally called (Ida Red), a Western Swing Hillbilly song, recorded by Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys
in 1938.
Chuck Berry changed the name of the song to (Ida May), but in the recording of the song at Chess recording studios, the title of the song was deemed to rural/Country for release, so to commercialise the song, as much as possible, tweaking it, and was changed to Maybellene.
Listening to Bob Wills sing his Song, you can hear where Chuck Berry got his Rapping vocal style from.
Johnny B Good
T-Bone Walker - duck walk, playing behind the head, playing with the teeth and the fricking electric guitar solo! There’s a video somewhere of Chuck Berry paying homage to Walker.

Chuck Berrys "Johnny be Good" Guitar intro was lifted from, T.Bone walker's 1946 "Ain't that just like a woman"--- featuring, Carl Hogan on Guitar.
The Guitar lick date's back to 1918 Original Dixieland Jazz band, "Bluin the Blues".
He also copied many of his Guitar licks from T.Bone Walker's 1950 "Strollin with Bones" & 1942 "I Got a Break Baby"
Factual Quote by
Chuck berry,
(All the things you see me do on stage, I Got from T.Bone Walker).
"Hail! Hail! Rock 'n' Roll" -- Chuck Berry -- Legend! He set the model for rock guitar players. A native of St. Louis, Missouri, he died in 2017 at the age of 91. When you're ready for more from him check out some of these classics -- "School Days", "Rock'n'Roll Music", "You Never Can Tell", "No Particular Place to Go", "Promised Land", "Around And Around", "Back In The U.S.A.", and "Little Queenie" among others. Between 1962 and 1964 Berry spent a year and a half in prison for -- in the parlance of the times -- transporting an underage woman across state lines for illicit purposes. During his absence from the scene, up and coming bands like The Beach Boys, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones sustained interest in his music and he returned the favor after he got out by dropping the albums St. Louis to Liverpool (1964) and Chuck Berry in London (1965), the former a shout out to The Beatles, the later a shout out to The Rolling Stones. The guitar playing on his 1965 cover of "St. Louis Blues", written by W.C. Handy in 1915, sounds like what the Stones sounded like a couple years later. Check it out when you can.
My siblings are 9 & 12 yrs older than me. They babysat me a lot and played their music all the time. Chuck Berry was some of it. Around 40yrs ago we got to see him at Billy Bob's Texas with a couple other acts. He was about 60 and did the duck walk several times and needless to say he got the most cheers of all. Later he was walked around and hung out with everyone. He was so cool.
Not 91..just 90
This live TV event was in my country (Belgium) - Love Chuck Berry. His lyrics were really great and cheeky, and he inspired the British invasion in the 60s. His music, attitude and the way you handle a guitar.
Chuck Berry is the TRUE king of
Rock N Roll.
Elvis is the king of gospel.
No..it is Elvis A.Presley
Hey 👋 👋 I'd love to see your reaction to Rufus Thomas...Walk The Dog
Shawn where is todays Chuck Berry?? Is he rapping instead? Is he making EDM ? Where are the ground breaking guitarist of today ? They were all over in the 50's, 60's , 70's till about mid 90's ?? You've been listening to them....
Chuck also has a great live performance of "Back in the USA" with Linda Ronstadt on YT.
Chuck Berry credits his guitar playing to Sister Rosseta Tharp. Check out her song Didn't it Rain! He adopted her style.
We need more of this music in today’s world…
Um yah, he invented it.
Nope. T-Bone Walker, in the 1930’s.
@@1dkappe Of course. TY. This is why I like comments. Also, wow.
I REALLY REALLY wish y'all would react to Johnny Rivers "Memphis Tennessee", " Poor Side of Town", and "Rockin Pneumonia and Boogie Woogie Flu"
Memphis would be nice and maybe one day afterwards when they go back to early 60's North to Alaska by Johnny Horton for a taste of how things were changing at that time ....Memphis is my fave JR song tho. so i;ll second it.
Every rock guitar player owes a lot to Chuck. The first guitar hero. Wrote the songs, played great bluesy guitar. He wrote for that new phenomenon, teenagers.
I could see how much you both loved chuck's performance, as we do, Great Music id for all generations...
Watch some videos on sister Rosetta Tharpe. Recently she was indicted to the HOF and was rockin', walkin' and talkin' way before Chuck.... not hatin' on Chuck, just want to broaden the scope
They were contemporaries.
Chuck Berry isn't the first rock-n-roller he might not be the best but without doubt he is the most important. Almost every rock guitar in the 60's and 70's name Chuck as their primary influence.
I saw Chuck in 83 at an outdoor multi group concert. Everybody loved him, he could work a crowd for sure. He even dragged one guy up onto the stage who was playing a stick! Yes, playing a big stick like a guitar. You couldn't hear much out of it though and 'My Ding-a-Ling' was a real crowd pleaser.
I can’t wait to you get to the other pioneer , Fats Domino !
Yep....The Duck Walk was HIS SiGNATURE move.
Memphis Tennessee is one of my favorites from Chuck...♡
I cannot personally do the duck walk, nor have I ever been able to do the duck walk in my lifetime... but, yes, I'm pretty sure Chuck Berry / aka Johnny B. Goode invented the duck walk. :)
Check out the 1986 documentary of Chuck Berry called "Hail Hail Rock & Roll".
Yep also called chucks shuffle Ac Dcs Angus Young does it in honor of Chuck Berry Try some Fats Domino ( Blue berry hill ) and look up the(DUKE OF EARL) 50s hits
The origins of the duck walk are traced back as far as t bone walker in the 1930s ...but it was the talented chuck berry who made it popular 😊♥️♥️♥️
Despite Chuck leaving us many Rock & Roll riffs, the duck walk etc...He takes from the creator of guitar Rock playing... Sister Rosetta Tharp was first and before everyone. Check her out. She was amazing.
That is who angus young got his style from
Shawn, the look of disbelief on your face is priceless, love you guys diggin this old rock &Roll and R&B...keep going youl'l love it. great job!!!!
Y’all see where Hendrix adopted a bit of his style swinging that axe around!!!!
Big mistake on my part it was T Bone Walker Traced it back to the 1930s he was dancing around doing dance moves and playing the guitar they think hes the one who invented the duck walk Chuck Berry made it famous Sorry about the mistake When you get right down to it it doesn't really matter who invented it it's just damn good music and great moves on the floor Happy New Year guys
Pretty good but the studio recorded version is much better.
To me the definitive, best, real rockand roll, began with Chuck's "Johnny Be Good!" Nobody ever topped that rocker!!!
When Chuck was a boy, he was told to get something that went underneath a piano. He didn't want to crawl, so he scooted along down low to get under the piano.
It sho wasn't Micheal J. Fox (Back to the Future)
Chuck popularized the duck walk. A Texas bluesman named T Bone Walker was doing it back in the '30s. They actually performed together at Montreux Jazz Festival in 1972.
Chuck was singing about a car, Maybelline was a Car lol ….
"Nadine" by Chuck is another worthy listen.
Bless you, Chuck Berry! You're an American icon who'll be treasured for eternity.
That was awesome! Chuck is one of the great pioneers of rock for sure and what a showman too
Maybelline is great but you have got to hear "Nadine".
Yes, yes he did....just don’t use the bathroom at his restaurant.....
He also lgave the expression "motovatin" .
If you have not watched Cadillac Records I highly recommend. It goes into the origins of many artists.
Recorded in Belgium in 1965.
Hey guys love your reaction! Chuck Barry is an amazing entertainer and a pioneer guitarist. He’s well worth celebrating. Definitely one of the major influences on early rock ‘n’ roll.
Chuck Berry made the duck walk famous, but T-Bone Walker, the great blues guitarist and singer who wrote "Stormy Monday" was doing it in the 1930s. He was quite lively onstage, even doing splits while playing the guitar behind his neck. Chuck Berry actually once said “All the things people see me do on the stage I got from T-Bone Walker.”
Maybe I'm wrong,but for me Chuck said ,back in the days,that once he went on stage with ,euh,not winkle-free trousers and he feel obliged to move and he did a little duck walk.And all the place went crazy.
And the rest is history
Chuck Berry was the best! YOu need to see more of his playing ..he did more than the duck walk, a fantastic performer!!
You should check out Roll Over Beethoven, which he wrote. It has been covered by many other groups including The Beatles & ELO.
I named my first car after this song.
He's been my personal King of Rock and Roll since the '70's...
He was in love with a cheating woman 😮
I was 3 years old. I remember it well.
Chuck had a reputation for refusing to start performing until he was paid in advance due to the many time bands have not been paid after the gig
Cash, I heard.
dude was a crowd fav for the kids of the 1950's - 1960's AND their parents' worse nightmare........he, like many African-Americans of the time, had to overcome so many obstacles, professionally and personally.......
2 other similar songs are "Hot Rod Lincoln" and "Beep, Beep".
Father of Rock n' Roll
Chuck Berry was rock and roll as most of the rock legends that came after him will attest! He is one of the best rock guitarists that ever lived although he doesn’t get the credit he deserves for that!! No disrespect to Elvis but Chuck Berry is the real King if Rock and Roll!❤️❤️ Yes, he was the creator of the duck walk! He was very smart and did not die penniless like a lot of the old rock legends and Motown legends who were cheated out of their money by unscrupulous record deals!
And he was a genius at writing! Many have the same rock n roll beat, but many songs are unique! Nadine, No Money Down, Livin in the U.S.A. and on and on!
C' LeVie, Memphis, Roll Over Beethoven. . . . ... . . . . . . . .
If you think about the Syncopation and Rhyme Scheme, Couldn't you say that Music From Artists like Chuck and Little Richard Provided the ACTUAL Foundations of the Current Rap Culture?
My name is Dave and today is my birthday Nov. 1st 1949. So I grew up listening to Mr. CHuck Berry and others. Since you like Chuck you might want to check out Wilson Pickett a big star in his own right. He was from a similar time frame as Chuck Berry. I especially like his rendition of Midnight Hour & Mustang Sally. Enjoy!
Nice reaction. He made it famous. that's for sure. However, the guy from AC/DC does it in tribute to him. Chuck was an originator. OG Rock and Roller. He was a big influence in the early rock days. As a sign of the time, you may have noticed just like Elvis the didn't show him from the waist down much. All that leg moving going on. Somethings in the past were really just silly. Cause no matter what "color" dance hall you went to back then those legs were moving. Its places like in the movie Footloose that messed things up. The whole dancing is evil thing. Ug but were adults and yes some folks take things to far.
As far as I know Chuck Berry who hailed out of St; Louis Mo. wrote every song he performed. He NEVER used foul language of any kind in all he wrote. He married one time for life, had 3 or 4 daughters they grew up into real ladies. One of which performed with him on stage, she had a beautiful voice.
I've wondered why the F word and more foul language began to be used in lyrics later.
It seems lyrics went from love songs to hate songs.
This is one of the numbers he played on a Belgium TV show in 1965, hence the odd intro, etc The band is a local Jazz band and audience that expected jazz!
Mabellene was Chuck's first big hit on the R&B charts in 1955.
Hi, you need to watch Springsteen with Chuck Berry. It was 1995, good video with 58M views. Chuck was great until he passed away in his 90’s. Thanks!
He is iconic. He was very instrumental in the birth of rock n roll. Love him so much.
You know I wonder how Elvis became the King when Chuck Berry was the obvious real King. You need to replace Elvis behind you with Chuck. I think he did invent the Duck Walk. 💞💞💞✌🤘🤘🤘✌
Comedian Bill Burr talking about Chuk and Lennon on his podcast, with the original footage he talk about edited in.

The first concert I ever saw was Chuck Berry, 1964 (I was a sophomore in high school) at Kiel Auditorium in St. Louis. Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs opened for him. . St. Judes Children's Hospital had a fund raising contest where high school kids were asked to sell Wonder Bread door to door to get donations to the hospital. Kids who sold enough loaves got to see the concert for free. I guess I sold enough loaves. Comedian Danny Thomas ( he had his own TV show at that time) was the host. Chuck generally didn't tour with a band, he just picked up local musicians wherever he was playing. A friend of mine played bass in a local band and Chuck hired him to play bass for the concert. It was a great show and the first of hundreds of concerts I've enjoyed in my 73 years of life. My favorite Chuck Berry song was Nadine. All the local bands covered it, as well as Maybelline.
Dick Clark once said Elvis may well have been King of Rock,but Chuck Berry was the Father of Rock & Roll before him was a musical wasteland ~ his only competition was Little Richard
Well into his 80's Chuck Berry would appear at a small club in St. Louis. his home town. Once a month on a Thurday night. I t was called Blueberry Hill. It only held 50 ppl. So it was very intimate.
This clip didn't quite do him justice. He invented the rock guitar. Everybody copied him.
Check out Chuck Berry's song " My Ding a Ling "...You have to do the long version of it to get the full effect of the song...You both will love it and you will see how funny and entertaining Chuck can be with the audience.
Hi Shawn and Mel. Chess records was a record label in Chicago other great artists that were on that label were Bo Diddly, Hownin Wolf, Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy, Etta James and Little Walter you will probably love all of them
i don't know what anyone else might have said.But i, am 49 and my dad is 72 and from what i remember he and my mom always went crazy when he did the duck walk. You ever watch "Back To The Future"? He is who MJF impersonating on stage in that prom scene.
The duck walk was traced all the way back to the 1930's done by an individual by the name of TJ Walker he also played the guitar just like chithey did the guitar just like Chuck Berry remember back in the thirties there wasn't any television it was Barry who actually made it famous but TJ Walker is the one who actually invented the duck walk Or so they say 1930
For some young love try You Never Can Tell by Chuck Berry. I know I've asked before but I just had to slip it into these comments too because it's such a favorite. 😉
John Lennon once said: if you´d give rock and roll another name it would be Chuck Berry. Happy New Year Shawn and Mel.
That wasn’t a very good cameraman. You couldn’t see Chuck’s full body when he was doing the duck walk.
live 1965. Belgium TV.
If you watch George Thorogood movements on stage classic Chuck Berry
Your mics are all out of whack... I'm 33 secs in.. Praying it gets better..
Now you see why they worked him in to the movie, "Back to the Future", in 1985.......
Chuck Berry was born in St.Louis in 1926
the great tomato Blues album... you should love this album it might even change your listening habits forever. .
Not only was Chuck Berry an extremely good musician/song writer he was an exceptional showman.
Ol Chuck was at the forefront of R&R, with Little Richard. Along with everyone else.
Chuck Berry is not only the father of rock'n'roll, but also the first rapper since he's dropping bars; if you don't believe me, read the lyrics to Maybellene and you'll see that he was the first rapper.
He invented it all!
When he did it on the Sullivan Show they showed him from head to toe. That was on Huey Lewis', "Heart of Rock n Roll".
The Beatles might have expanded rock and roll Chuck Berry started rock and roll
He definitely was, Chuck was the original Duck
Check out Stax Records…sooo many stars/hits came from this record label in Memphis.
This man invented rock and roll! I still have cassette tapes of him! Still listen to them too! He was a hairdresser before he publicly invented rock and roll! I love this man!
Chess Records is in Chicago. You can go there, but it's not a museum, like Sun Studios in Memphis is :)
I saw him play this in the late 60's in southern California in Long Beach while I was still in High school ❤
I saw Chuck perform at Disney!!! Great Show
"He didn't invent quack!" - A mad mallard, probably
No way! He stole it from Larry Collins of the Collins Kids who was doing it in 1954.
