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 . 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?
@@lottietucker3082Sugar white's to a rescue....
@@sinenkaari5477 uh....yea.
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.
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.
I love how the beautiful swags on the door of the mausoleum looks like angel wings! Great vlog!!
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 .
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.
That's a true story. Brian Wilson said that several times
@@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.
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! 🙂
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.
Just put him in a regular casket he's not going to know it
Doesn’t make sense. Just rebuild the door size. He’s worth the cost
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!!! 🌼
Another terrific vlog. Thanks for posting!
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.
Blueberry hill wasn't open at 10am
Chuck berry was an awesome artist & a great musician Thanks for.sharing this video
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!
He also lived in wentzville Missouri for a while
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
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.
Loved the smile from Jahster. Thank you Jordan for taking us on this trip around to see these homes. What a beautiful Mausoleum.
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.
Yet again another great vlog! Thanks for sharing Jordan 🎸🎶
Loved Chuck Berry, his music was so ahead of its time, starting out rough sure didn’t stop him, go Chuck go. RIP Chuck🎶
I love his music, as I grew up with it!
Great vlog on Chuck Berry and a great way to end it with a big smile from Jah.
A POWERHOUSE OF AN EPISODE... THANK YOU FOR SHARING... =)
*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.
*It is called Berry Park, and I believe it is a museum now.*
*544 Buckner Road.
Wentzville, Missouri.*
@@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.
@@davidcudlip6587 That is awesome!!
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)
Yep, even Springsteen backed chuck one time
@@DazewithJordantheLion Didn't Chuck Berry end up living at an old amusement park? Berry Park?
💋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
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
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.
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!!
WooooooooooooooooW ! University City Mo. ❤️ Great video ♠️. Chuck Berry was the man 👑❤️🎶👍🏾
Thanks for another great time 😀 take care and be safe God 😀

Chuck Berry was awesome. Grew up listening to the "Great One"
You do a great Chong impersonation! Thank you for teaching us about the great Chuck B.
Wow a lot of interesting things I did not know about Chuck Berry. Lol Great musician!
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.
*Awesome video!*
Loved seeing his former homes!
Safe travels! 🌹
A amazing Vlog ! So much appreciated Jordan, Ty,, have a great V Day our friend Cheers!❤🍻
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.
Love his music. This was a really great video. Loved seeing all the places he lived
Played bass with Chuck on several shows in the 70's Great guy
This was great...loved it! Thanks Jordan!!!
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.
Ahahaha love Cheech & Chong Berry lines, got me laughing hard! Great
Job Lion!!
Wow you came to my city 👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾
I saw that reaction on a TH-cam clip. Oh man, I Really laughed and played it area times.
This was amazing to see. The father of rock and roll!! Thanks man 😎👍👍
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!!!!!!
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.
The "mean streets" were deserted.
Well put together video
Thank you Jorfan.Loved this
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.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 great video
I love the song my ding aling I still giggle when I hear it lol
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.
Great in depth information on this Episode ⭐️
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.
Great! Thanks for a wonderful blog.
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. 😉🧡👍
Jordan very awesome Vlog Chuck Berry all I Can Say Legend !! Thaank You & Jah Sleepy Buddy lol
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 🎵🎭
No question Chuck Berry was a musical giant. Hits too numerous to list. His music will live forever. Another fine vlog
Cool! The guitar in Back to the Future is an anachronism, by the way. It wasn't available in that format in that time period.
I was number 600 likes Soooo many empty buildings. They should rebuild and new memories could be made. Great stream Informative, Educational and Fun.
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.
Another amazing vlog, loved the locations,history everything. He truly is a legend,pioneer of the industry,.He was reportedly a very bad tempered guy,who spoke and treated people quite harshly in his circles. Superb vlog Jordan. 👌
sad to see all the decay.
I agree.. everywhere I went was like that where he lived
This is so cool. I'm so glad your continuing to do these musician vlogs Jordan. I always believed the Kings of Rock and Roll were Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis and the Elvis.
Yeah basically thats exactly what they tell u in school💯
The kings of Rock and roll were, Fats Domino, Chuck Berry and Ike Turner. These were the true legends.
@@61TOOTSIE Yeah, but I believe Chuck Berry and Little Richard d took it to another level...
RIP All legends of R&R🙏🙏🙏
Another great video! I love when you show all the places he lived!
Very cool and informative!! Thank you Jordan!
Another great vlog! Chuck punched Keith in the eye! Keith said I wore that black eye for two week's!
Amazing video,
Thanks for sharing this… one of my favorite performers ! An now another place for me to visit!
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.....
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
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.
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH JORDAN GOD BLESS YOU AND UR DOG 🐶😂 LOVE YOUR VIDEOS AND HARD WORK U PUT INTO THEM 🤩🥳CIAO
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...!! 🥰
Awesome volg!!!! Thanks Jordan.
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.
Cool 😀
I really Ioved this vlog I love his music
Thanks Jordan, Little sleepy head Jah. :)
Love the hat Jordan !! Love the vlog
Brilliant video!
Chuck Berry was IT! 💪❤
Thank you for taking us down memory lane.
Loved this!
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! ♥
Awe, you were in my neck of the woods! I'm a few hours away from there in Sedalia MO
I love Chuck Berry. My ex-husband's name is Johnny and I owned the album with the song Johnny B. Good. I listened & danced to this record a gazillion times. Thanks. 🥰
Hi Jordan, fyi , Shelley Winters has a star on our walk of fame in front of Blueberry Hill, she lived in St. Louis for a short time as a young girl.
Yes indeed
Another Great in depth video. Thank you Jordan I really Enjoyed it! Hey jah if you snooze you lose.! Stay Safe from Tammy in PA
Pretty sure they still have Chuck's Gibson on display inside Blueberry Hill
Oh and Happy Valentines Day Jordan and Jau... !!! 😘🥰❤
He was a great musician but also ill tempered. Talk about cheap! My late husband was a bass player in his back up band, after the gig they were all hanging out at a bar. Time went on, lots of drinks, finally Chuck got up and left my husband with the entire bill!! He always said Chuck owed him money. 😄
Very cool! Thanks
Yes the real king of rock and roll!!!
Fascinating story, Like you said, From Rags to Rich'es!!!!! Great Job Jordan 👏 👏👏
P.S ,GLAD YOU LEFT JAH @ THE HOTEL, HATE TO SAY IT, BUT WASN'T THE SAFEST NEIGHBOR YOU WAS IN, SOMETHING WOULD HAPPEN TO YOU, WHO WOULD WATCH OVER JAH 🤔 😏, JUST SAYING.
I worked several years at Sumner High and learned about so many historical figures who went to school there. Tina Turner, members of The Fifth Dimension and so many others. The Ville Neighborhood has experienced so much divestment, but is full of great history.
Greatness ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!
I saw Chuck play one of his concerts at Blueberry Hill. Imagine seeing him in a basement room that held 300. His guitar was slightly out of tune and he played most of his hits. His son and daughter were part of the band too. At the end of the show he invited any woman who wanted to dance up on stage and then he did a semi-duck walk, weaving in and out of the women while playing his guitar! An incredible show for an 80 year old man.
