You should get a medal for going out in that part of St. Louis. Many parts look like a war zone with hollowed out buildings, burned out cars and are just as dangerous.
It's that way because the government allowed it to get that way because of the color of the people that lived there and there are a lot of cities around the USA with the same problem . Then guys like you make snide comments about the place . i'm sure there are many nice people that live there as in many of these cities you can't always go by looks . I'm not afraid to say race plays a huge part as to why this happens , the government dumps the majority of money into White areas then when the Black areas go under they come back to buy up all the land . The funny thing about it is it seems no one has the money to buy it .
Interesting. Other than bringing attention to this issue in the comment section of TH-cam. Have you put your resources into helping with the restoration at all? I mean how much could a condescending comment with the undertone of Racism truly do?
Great vlog ! Right in my town . I had the pleasure of seeing Chuck Berry perform at Blueberry Hill in 2012 and I paid my respects to him at his funeral in 2017 . Gene Simmons was in town that weekend for a comic Con and something for the veterans at Rock and Brews restaurant . He attended the funeral to pay his respects to Chuck but the family wanted him to speak so he did a nice little eulogy speech .
Jordan your excitement and enthusiasm is what brings this piece to life! Very well done. I can always count on you to brighten my day. Thank you and happy Valentines day.
Greetings from London England. Thanks so much for this video: it’s great. I’m a huge Chuck Berry fan and it was amazing to see all these historical landmarks. It’s illuminating, and made all the more enjoyable by your obvious love of the music and the man. Many thanks.
Chuck Berry was still performing about once a month in his 80's. My husband and I were lucky enough to see him in about 2012 at Blueberry Hill (briefly shown in your video). He played downstairs in the Duck Room. It was an AMAZING concert and we enjoyed seeing him very much!! He sang Johnny B. Goode and even did the duck walk!! An experience we won't forget!! The owner of Blueberry Hill (and many other businesses on Delmar in St. Louis) was a big fan of Chuck Berry. I recommend going into Blueberry Hill next time you're there. It's hosted MANY celebrities and singers. The restaurant looks like a museum of memorabilia! Thank you for the video! 🙂
I met Chuck in 1974 he was very kind and polite, he asked us directions to his hotel, so he followed us there, then we ate at Hardee's, nobody knew who he was, he was Cool
A pretty amazing and talented guy!! Always love to learn more about some of my favorite musical artists!! I guess Jah wanted to sleep in!! Making it to 90 is impressive!! Thanks Jordan!!
Wow, didn't realize he was from STL. Another TH-camr I watch lives on St Louis Ave; he is restoring a 2nd Empire mansard. Anyway, that is quite the interesting video, didn't know a lot of that about Chuck. Yes, loved how his "cousin Marvin Berry" performed and called to let him know about a new sound. I was surprised you didn't mention his famous duck walk he did with his guitar. That is a pretty snazzy mausoleum he has there, almost looks like a house. Great to see Jah again!
Met Chuck Berry as a child in Creve Coeur, Missouri at his Sister’s house in the late 60’s. Of course, I did not know anything about rock n roll and who he was but my Father did so that is how I got a chance to shake his hand. He wanted to give an autograph picture but did not have any with him at the time hence it was just a short visit to his Sister’s house. Wow, I still can’t believe all these years later. Great vlog.
Jordan, I was glad that you did this vlog, because I remember on a live feed when you were still in California, I asked you to vlog Chuck Berry and you said, No, because he is an enigma. I also wanted to remind you that you could have went into Blueberry Hill and had some great food, because Chuck Berry used to play concerts in the Duck Room there and one of his guitars is there behind glass as you first walk in. Also, I met Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley at the Grand Opening of Rock N Brews in St. Louis and they left that evening to fly to Kansas City, MO to appear at the grand opening of Rock N Brews there. The next day Chuck Berry had passed and Gene Simmons was one of the only famous people to fly back to St. Louis to go to his funeral at the Pageant Theater down the street from Blueberry Hill. Gene did not plan to give a speech because he was in the back, but he did anyway. What a man of great character.
Interesting to hear of him buying the empty lot where his duplex was all because of a window peeping experience. His house in 1958 was sure nice and so is his mausoleum. He was certainly a Rock N Roll icon and I've always loved him.
One of Berry's hits Sweet Little 16 was a influence to Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys doing Surfing USA. Beautiful statue of a true music legend, thanks for sharing.
Yeah a real big influence alright, so much so that The Beach Boys lifted the melody to Chuck's "Sweet Little Sixteen" note for note in creating "Surfin' USA. Apparently Mr. Berry didn't find that very amusing, as he successfully sued them for copyright infringement.
@@tinamichael8893 While there is without any doubt that The Beach Boys were influenced by Chuck Berry in creating their own particular sound and style, from what I had read he wasn't to keen on them lifting the melody from "Sweet Little Sixteen" and successfully sued them for copyright infringement, Much as in the same vein that he of course didn't take it too kindly to people touching his gear, as Keith Richards unpleasantly found out in a rather striking fashion.
Keep hitting those home runs.nearly 79 now & I am convinced, imho, we had the greatest music, talent & innovators in Rock!! The again & keep on rockin!!
Hi Jordan, I'm surprised how much of that area is boarded up. WOW, that was a very impressive Mausoleum, with it's own big pathway aswell. I bet that cost a few Dollars. So many great songs to remember him by. What a fun piece at the end with the Jahster. Great vlog Jordan.
💋Great vlog! Back to Future was one of my favorite movies as a kid. Chuck Berry what legend. He could make a guitar “get up and walk” playing it. lol Happy Valentine’s Day to you and Jah! ~Love&Light♥️Carli
A thousand 👍 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍. The best video, informative details …love it. Thank you! Heard his ding a song performance online. It caught my interest and brought me to your video and a great one!!!!!!
Chuck Berry was a great Rock &Roll star in my day. Remember dancing crazy to his music and had all his 45s that came out. Thanks for sharing this Jordan.
I saw Chuck in concert a few times. Once, as he was at the front of the stage jamming and leaning over playing to the front row, some chick threw a whole cup of Coke in his face. Well, that was the end of the show right now. He unplugged and left. That chick got booed right out of the auditorium! He truly was a sight to behold and I am richer for seeing him live. You did a good job on this one. I have wondered about his life and home. Thank you.
Man, you can take any subject and totally make me want to hear all about it! You definitely have a great talent for telling stories, and making them come alive. I could envision everything you said in my mind, it was great, but that's pretty much how all your vlogs are! A++ Jordan, loved it!!! 🌼
*Have you ever seen his home/family places just outside of Wentzville, Missouri?* It was down Buckner Road, I believe. Driven by there several times. We used to live about 15 or so miles from him. He used to own Southern Aire Restaurant in Wentzville.
@@bonniekaye Word. It had a pond and swimming beach where black folks could swim, picnic and spend the day out of the city. Also had concerts there back in the day.
We went there two years ago and was told by the office staff that his body was not in his mausoleum made for him because his casket wouldn't fit in through the front door. As of 2019 they were still holding his body in another area trying still to figure it out. Would be interesting to know how it turned out.
hi jordan!! and jah!! thank you for remembering Chuck Berry!! great performer rip!!!! you're the man!❤ jordan!! you're the man!!! hugs and kisses! ✌out!!!
When Chuck would be out on the road, most of the time he would go by himself and have the local promoter find him a pick up drummer and bass player. Chuck knew that every bass player and drummer knew the tunes and could sit in. More money for Chuck, but hundreds of musicians recall playing with him and being star struck. (Thanks for mentioning this interesting thing about Chuck's touring)
Hey Jordan, great video.. I started playing drums when I was 2 and in my 1st band at 9 but I ran around in the soulard area was playing in places like hammerstones, 1860’s great grizzly bear, Carson’s ECT. however, I played drums for jonnie Johnson, Oliver Johnson, Marsal strong, he called me the big boss man haha! Max baker, And just tons more in the area and across the river in east St.Louis however, I was soul reunion drummer for quite some time… When Gary McCully and Larry Mann was in the band they both passed on now.. anyway, we were playing a gig one night and in walked chuck. And him and Gary were taking.. and Gary obviously asked chuck to play and chuck agreed but when he walked on the stage he asked Gary , hey what abt this white kid on the drums.. and Gary said.. chuck! He’ll be ok let’s jam! And chuck looks back at me and says hey white kid, you ever heard of Jonny be good? I said yes sir I have! He said well, good I wrote it! Hang with me! Haha! And that happened all before I was 20 years old I was still in my teens.. and I’ll be 43 this year lol and I also played drums for his daughter Ingrid berry as well.. so, I have some great memories that will stay with me forever again, great video man! Tommy
Many thanks Jordan, great stories and a really enjoyable tribute. Although the buildings give the impression the neighbourhood has seen better days, the neighbour who spoke to you and related the story of Chuck Berry collecting them to swim in his pool, made us remember it's the people not the buildings that matter.
Great vid dude.I'm lucky enough to have opened a show for Chuck in 1985 in Greensboro NC ...I was 25 years old..in a Band called "USA ROCK" Regulars at a big club called Louies Rock City...We shared the same dressing room with Chuck...He was awesome,His manager as well.....I remember they had to locate the correct fender amp for him to use for this show..Found one local...Thanks again.....
Thank you Jordan for the chuck berry video it was awesome and I did know he lived in some places and for sure he did have a rags to riches story and thank you for letting us see Jah rolling around in the bed being a lazy pup.
Jordan, this is one of your masterpieces, and I imagine it wasn't so easy walking thru these mean streets. I have been a Chuck Berry fan ever since I realized the BEATLES and ROLLING STONES loved him. just when I think you have shown me everything, I get this! not since you did the Jimi Hendrix tour was I this excited. the best R&R song ever written was his statement, 'Roll over Beethoven'. (& tell Tchaikovsky the news). you're building a body of work here, my friend. your latest vlogs are just as good ,and as much fun as the early ones.
I did a play "Almost Famous" with "Boogie Bob" Baldori - years ago. He was a piano player for Chuck Berry at one time. So many Berry locations - great video Jordan. Have a great night. Blessings - Judith's 🎵🎭
Oopsie , Jordan this was a really beautiful tribute. Thankyou for filming the places Chuck grew up in , it says alot about the man. He was the most iconic musician of his time and even today. This was so special our little guy Jah🐕 missed the filming classic response, although that bed looked to good for him to pass up . Bless him. 😉🧡👍
If Chuck’s music didn’t get you up and moving, nothing could. Thanks for another informative and interesting video. Also, I appreciate that you take your baby with you on the road. He sure has a sweet smile.
I did get to see Chuck Berry at a big car show in Atlantain the mid 80's. I didn't know he was going to be there that night, so that was a nice surprise. He sat in a chair singing and playing his guitar up on the stage. I started dancing with my mom's friends , haha... and he started laughing at us too. He knew we were having a good time. 😄 This was a very cool video Jordan...! ❤ Thank you so much. I love when Jau smiles and covers his sweet little face. Haha..!! So cute...!! 🥰
Thanks! for all your videos bro you do your homework it’s good to someone who takes the time to research info before you post videos thanks again for sharing
One of the reasons why I watch your channel is the research you put into each project/episode. Unfortunately, we live in a world of instant gratification and history requires research. Too bad those who passed by Chucks house did not take more time to research and know what they were actually in front of. Much of slavery is revealed by way of conversations. Your conversation with the gentleman who knew Chuck is one of those rare gems. Thank you for your hard work and for bringing us behind the scenes. The episode on the Ike and Tina Turner's house was amazing! I wish you would have taken more tile from the fire pit to give away. Thank you for sharing your friendship with Shelly Winters, she was one of the absolute best. If at all possible, please consider Sammy Davis Jr. Sammy was so well rounded with talent and is hardly talked about anymore. Thank you for all that you do.
This was awesome! Totally enjoyed your tour guide video clip. Big fan of Chucks. Seem him once in Germany in 1988 while stationed in Army in Stuttgart.
👍💯💜👏👏👏. Thanks Jordan for a nother great video. Beautiful Mausoleum, Worthy of Mr Chuck Berry. Thanks for showing it, I'd never seen Mr Chuck Berry final resting place. My Grandmother loved Mr Chuck Berry. Music she danced to. I guess Jah just wanted to chill.🙂. ✌. RIP MR CHUCK BERRY. 🕯🦋🌠🌻🌷🌟✨. Love,respect and positivity always. Nj.🧘♀️🙌✌🙂👋.
Jordan... Original Mel's Diner has Chuck Berry "my dingaling" on the tabletop juke .. I highly suggest playing it if you get the chance! I had the entire restaurant rolling!! Even the chefs and wait staff stopped what they were doing to listen! What a hoot! ❤️💛💚
Thank you Jordan for this video! I loved Chuck Berry, I still listen to his music, what a music Legend he was!! I wish St. Louis would make his home on College a Histoical sight. I dont blame him for wanting paid before he performed. Thank you for the Music Mr. Berry! ♥
I grew up listening to Chuck Berry with my parents as they were fans of his since back in the 50s. Great music and my favorite songs were Maybelline and My Ding a Ling. Years ago I bought myself an elf around Christmas time which sang the ding a ling song. Lol my dogs barked like crazy when I played it. :)
You should get a medal for going out in that part of St. Louis. Many parts look like a war zone with hollowed out buildings, burned out cars and are just as dangerous.
Yes I agree. It reminded me Newark, NJ or the bad areas of Detriot
It's that way because the government allowed it to get that way because of the color of the people that lived there and there are a lot of cities around the USA with the same problem . Then guys like you make snide comments about the place . i'm sure there are many nice people that live there as in many of these cities you can't always go by looks .

absolutely right. I hear 84 NASH and spark up a smoke. I can't separate that music from the contents, and don't want to.

Chuck berry was an awesome artist & a great musician Thanks for.sharing this video
My introduction to Chuck Berry was My Pop. He always had his music playing. My Pop always said he was The King Of Rock and Roll.

Loved the smile from Jahster. Thank you Jordan for taking us on this trip around to see these homes. What a beautiful Mausoleum.
A pretty amazing and talented guy!! Always love to learn more about some of my favorite musical artists!! I guess Jah wanted to sleep in!! Making it to 90 is impressive!! Thanks Jordan!!
Wentzville is my hometown. Will always be home and always happy to tell people I'm from the same time as Chuck
I hope to go to Berry Park next time
There's word also that they will do a museum at Berry Park in Wentzville

Loved Chuck Berry, his music was so ahead of its time, starting out rough sure didn’t stop him, go Chuck go. RIP Chuck🎶

Thank you for sharing your friendship with Shelly Winters, she was one of the absolute best. If at all possible, please consider Sammy Davis Jr. Sammy was so well rounded with talent and is hardly talked about anymore. Thank you for all that you do.

Jordan... Original Mel's Diner has Chuck Berry "my dingaling" on the tabletop juke .. I highly suggest playing it if you get the chance! I had the entire restaurant rolling!! Even the chefs and wait staff stopped what they were doing to listen! What a hoot! ❤️💛💚

I grew up listening to Chuck Berry with my parents as they were fans of his since back in the 50s. Great music and my favorite songs were Maybelline and My Ding a Ling. Years ago I bought myself an elf around Christmas time which sang the ding a ling song. Lol my dogs barked like crazy when I played it. :)
