Two of the greatest people that we no longer have. I love Robbie on this. Thank the lord he got past his couple of bad years on the bad stuff to be able to sit with the fabulous Chuck and just chat about the old times ❤❤ xx
This must have been a labour of love for Robbie as he held Chuck Berry in such high esteem ! One of the select few ,original pioneers of true Rock and Roll ...
This stuff is pure golden rock'n'roll history. Robbie thank you for having the stuff to keep the focus right and Chuck for being you and allllllll the music you both gave us.
Fascinating man. Little glimpses of things, you wouldn't have fucked with him. The night he died, a band announced it in the pub I was in (Leeds, England) and everybody took a heavy sigh. One of the greats.
Only man, musician or not, that I've ever seen put both Robbie Robertson and Keith Richards in their places when they tried to interrupt him or ask him a question he didn't like. More so with Keith, and there's definitely video of it -- I remember it from some documentary I used to see on VH1 all the time years ago. But anyway, Keith interrupts Mr. Berry or says something he doesn't like, or something along those lines... and he just gets chastised like a little school boy, and all he can do is green sheepishly and shut his mouth. Because he knew the Professor was teaching! The man commanded respect, and for good reason.
I guess I never heard him speak before. He had such a strong and powerful singing voice. And here he's talking so soft and gentle, I could listen to him for hours
@@american_cosmic Hard to believe he smoked...never really saw too many videos of him smoking, or even in photo's......yea his smooth voice didn't show the effects of cigs
Oh Chuck! Not the Father. “The Poet of Rock n Roll!” “The Lyricist of Rock n Roll.” ...poetry about the youth experience. ..poetry about love and life. And his music was both exciting and positive. Often, it celebrated life, and love; meeting a girl, wanting to know a girl, loving rock n roll, admiring the girl’s beauty, admiring a new car, driving and enjoying a car. Enjoying dancing. Going to school. Drinking in the beauty of an evening with his date. Chuck put the youth’s thoughts and feelings in a joyous, upbeat, new music! He became a living legend.
Im glad to have met him once. I knew he left out the back door of his venues by himself. At about age 20, I stood by the door and startled him. He signed an album and went his way
Great singing and speaking voice! And I never knew how learned and how deep this man was! Talent, all day long! Just a total icon! And of course, he was my Image to follow, as I taught myself to play guitar!
Great writer, lyrics that fit very well together and you knew what he was saying because you had been there. Lots of words , well explained ideas, what a vocabulary he had. Not to mention his guitar playing.
He's interviewing, not interrupting. He's also a big fan of Chuck Berry.. who wouldn't be. They're both having a great time By the way I also love Phil Lynott
Great interview! Chuck Berry clearly got on with Robbie Robertson a lot better than he did Keith Richards. Just a natural, relaxed conversation between two friends with some very insightful questions and intelligent answers from Mr. Berry. He was such an intuitive guitar player. The King.
As i may have mentioned several times before, myself and two lifelong friends went to see chuck berry at the rainbow theatre, finsbury park, north london, in 1975. BEAT THAT.
I read that Robbie Robertson was going to be the musical director of the “Hail, Hail Rock n Roll” film but had to drop out and Keith Richards took it over.
Two of the real greatest rock'n'roll song creators ever, musing about the era that turned the world onto the best music radio ever played. My only disappontment is that Robbie didn't include Chuck in the Last Waltz performance.
Wow....just looking for good stuff on Chuck Berry amd I was not convinced that this interview would reveal much, but Berry has a way to make you understand that the myth is only as real as you want it to be....he comes across as someone that doesn't hold a beef against anybody or anything, even the changing times (60's). He just rolled with the changes and just never stopped being Chuck Berry. He stated he never left. Performer, song writer, personality, lover, financier and businessman and king of Rock-n-Roll!!! Hail hail rock-n-roll!!
Pretty good interview until Robbie keeps harping on why Chuck didn't keep producing more new hits. Chuck pretty much invented Rock N Roll, so it was like asking the Wright brothers why they did not go on to invent teleportation. Chuck shows great patience with him. I saw Chuck perform many times over the years, and he rarely played a song the exact same way twice, and it always rocked.
i feel a really strong connection between chuck and snoop d o double g...calm and hypnotic....chuck singin nat king cole was unreal.......cool as f bra peace
really i thought robbinson was awful. he had his own perception and not a good listener. or just because chuck mentioned classical musicians he is some kind of intellectual? wtf? and poetry was associated with tough rebels in the 50s
I had never seen him so soft spoken. Also never realized how smart he was. I’m sure he got shafted early on but then he took care of businesses. What year was this recorded?
After Elvis Presley died on August 16, 1977, the African American newspaper, the Chicago Defender explained that: “When Elvis Presley breathed his last breath and the press hailed him as the ‘King of Rock,’ Ol’ Man River cried out, ‘Naw he ain’t! My friend Chuck Berry is the King of Rock. Presley was merely a Prince who profited from the royal talent of a sovereign ruler vested with tremendous creativity. Had Berry been white, he could have rightly taken [Presley’s] throne and worn his crown well.’”
Can you imagine a world where the likes of Elvis, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry and all those who started before 1955 would not have done so? I read people all the time arguing about who is the "king of rock and roll" , that answer is quite simple, Elvis Presley is the king, now before you disagree with me hear me out!!!! I just watched an interview with Carl Perkins and he was asked about all those guys and how the music got going and how it took over the world. Mr. Perkins said something very interesting, he said that no matter how good Jerry Lee was or how good Carl Perkins was or how great and mean Chuck Berry's guitar was, there was only one person who "had it all in one package" to quote Mr. Perkins. He said that it was Elvis that really caused the most stir and everyone else road on Elvis's coat tails and had successful careers because Elvis had something extra special that people connected to. If you think about that and then look how even in 2019 Elvis is still so deeply embedded in our minds and in the very soul of this country. Chuck Berry and Jerry Lee Lewis had law troubles and it's because of that why they don't connect with so many people. But Elvis, he remained the "good" boy with that southern charm he could turn on and be this shy country boy who turned into a god when he touched the stage. In the end that's what it boils down to, who reached the most people and who the people most wanted to see, that was Elvis from 1954 and it still continues to this day. I love Chuck Berry and as a guitar player of 54 years old I can say that it was Chuck Berry who kicked out the "rockabilly" stuff and ushered in a completely new way of looking at the guitar. Nobody was playing the kind of guitar that Chuck Berry was playing, NOBODY! But, people don't connect to a guitar, they connect to a person and to charisma. No matter how good Chuck was on the guitar, he never touched the hearts of people quite the same way as Elvis did, no one else has ever done it either!! How many other artists have you seen the President of the United States address the nation when that person has passed on? Not even Frank Sinatra had that. When you throw in Chuck's legal troubles and his somewhat angry racist attitude, people could see that and like Jerry Lee Lewis people might have liked their music, but they didn't like the person so much, but everybody loves Elvis!
@@simpsimpson5175 Sorry but no that's incorrect. Little Richard was a great performer and gave us some great music, but the king? No, no that he was not. When one compares the amount of hits, the influences he generated and the worldwide larger than anyone else in history fan base that Elvis Presley still has today, no one else is more deserving of being called "the King" than Elvis. Had it not been for Elvis and his charisma and raw talent that early rock and roll would not have become as popular as it did and as quickly as it did. I have heard many of those old pioneers of Rock say exactly that, Had it not been for Elvis, most of them would have never really been heard on the radio.
Ron Just Ron elvis stole everything he had off black people. He is only the "king" as he was white.. whitening black music.. youre just a racist admit it... Little Richard invented rock n roll.. invented the showmanship.. the loud costumes.. face makeup.. the crazy hairstyles.. jerry lee lewis grabbed from that.. nrxt elvis.. Oh but dont let facts and your abhorrent racism get in the way of ur opinions
TCB King it doesnt matter. He defined and set the style. Jerry Lee Lewis took from that.. then Elvis.. Little Richard was the true King.. elvis the coca cola but white.. its basically racism.. like eric clapton being the famous blues guy
TCB King yep. Whites enjoying white versions. Oh right so that makes him the "King"?.. blacks invented the genre.. big joe turner.. little richard.. fats domino
Well he was the creative director of the movie that they were making while filming hail hail rock and roll . Did you guys ever see the last waltz ? Go watch it and realize that this is chuck's last waltz.
Obviously this was *not* supposed to be a "professional" interview for Rolling Stone Magazine, but rather a conversation between two guys sifting through a scrapbook and bouncing off each other. Take it as it is, and don't make it into something it isn't...
Great opportunity to hear the great Chuck Berry speak freely, but if only that guy would stop interrupting, talking over him every time he starts to go deep.
He did a few covers - "Route 66," "Rip It Up," "Ain't That Just Like A Woman," and "Crazy Arms" come to mind. He did each in his own style! He also did a great version of BB King's "Sweet Sixteen."
Further proof, as if any more was needed, that people are dumb as shit. They go "crazy" over THAT song and pretty much ignore his huge body of amazing tunes - not to mention his guitar playing on those recordings. He doesn't even really play on Ding-a-Ling.
few know this but, Robbie is related to a Toronto Jewish gangster by the name of Nate Klegerman. Nate was an active member of mobster Paul Volpe's gang who were active in Toronto in the 50's, 60's and 70's. Paul was big time with casinos in Havana and many other cash operations. eventually Paul was murdered and left in the trunk of his BMW at Pearson international airport in the early 80's. Toronto forever EH????!!!
In 1959 Chuck was arrested under the Mann Act and was charged with “transporting a 14 year old girl across state lines for immoral purposes”. He ended up spending 20 months in federal prison between 1960 and 1963. I’m assuming the “Indian girl” he speaks of is that 14 year old girl.
Robbie thinks a lot of himself.. and often seems to never have thought very deeply about much else....he isnt a professional interviewer..so we can cut him some slack. However, it is painfully clear he doesn't know much about chuck berry, and hasn't done any homework before doing this interview. Chuck was married 60 years.. so the "who's that" question is pretty dumb. Worse is being a total bone head about poetry...and it's relationship to song writing.. This is the classic ignorance of a guitar player.. who isn't much of anything else. Holy Crap. Chuck Berry wrote literature in the same way Bob Dylan did. it's Poetry start to finish. Wrote timeless stories everyone can recite in the dark. An 'ol Robbie is Clueless !
@@captlarry-3525 Robbie is the only one i've ever seen smoke Clapton in guitar duels, The last waltz is classic and I admire robbie as musical genius so...
Robbie Robertson is embarrassing in this, Chuck completely shows him up. He starts quoting Wordsworth and Robbie doesn't know what to say or do. The guy makes me cringe. Totally condescending and, with all due respect to Robertson, Berry is the superior songwriter and wordsmith.
Robertson could and should have asked much more incisive questions. Too many softballs and no good follow ups. Why were you afraid to use the word prison or jail? And no explanation of the so-called Indian girl reference. That’s pathetic.
Two of the greatest people that we no longer have. I love Robbie on this. Thank the lord he got past his couple of bad years on the bad stuff to be able to sit with the fabulous Chuck and just chat about the old times ❤❤ xx
My grandfather was the manager at Gleasons back in the day, never stopped talking about Chuck till the day he died, loved him. 216nation.
@tyroniousyrownshoolacez thanks for sharing that.
This must have been a labour of love for Robbie as he held Chuck Berry in such high esteem ! One of the select few ,original pioneers of true Rock and Roll ...
I love Chuck's voice... real smooth and relaxing.
This stuff is pure golden rock'n'roll history. Robbie thank you for having the stuff to keep the focus right and Chuck for being you and allllllll the music you both gave us.
I'm just grateful I was born in a time and place that I would end up seeing this video. Thank you, God.
A good listener - an intelligent guy - so is Robertson.
Fascinating man. Little glimpses of things, you wouldn't have fucked with him. The night he died, a band announced it in the pub I was in (Leeds, England) and everybody took a heavy sigh. One of the greats.

I made the same comment before I saw yours... very smooth and relaxing voice, it's pleasant to listen to.
@@american_cosmic Hard to believe he smoked...never really saw too many videos of him smoking, or even in photo's......yea his smooth voice didn't show the effects of cigs
He was the smartest man in music . Not a one man band but a one man industry. The goat
Really really bright guy Chuck was..
@@lissainkd2580 Agreed
Chuck was quintessential cool, and all class. I love this video, and his brilliant presence.
A classy guy when he wasn’t farting in hookers’ faces
Oh Chuck! Not the Father.

Chuck Berry is a legend and such a song writer that people need to know what a musical genious he truly is...
This guy with all respect is Robbie Robertson ! Show respect for the Band
Fascinating. Robertson's a brilliant interviewer.
Good songwriter/guitarist too.
Because he is not only honestly interested, he wants to learn from his idol too. 🙂
R. I .P. Mr Berry. “ THE KING”KING. 👑👑👑
RIP Chuck, you made me pick up my first guitar. Still got it too.
Eric Clapton only played Chuck Berry riffs in the first months of his career.
Im glad to have met him once. I knew he left out the back door of his venues by himself. At about age 20, I stood by the door and startled him. He signed an album and went his way
Marvelous interview, what a gentleman he was. The stuff about diction most interesting.
I love this scrap book--I know where all of these locations are, having grown up in the 60-90's in STL
That's great to hear.
Great singing and speaking voice! And I never knew how learned and how deep this man was! Talent, all day long! Just a total icon! And of course, he was my Image to follow, as I taught myself to play guitar!
Great writer, lyrics that fit very well together and you knew what he was saying because you had been there. Lots of words , well explained ideas, what a vocabulary he had. Not to mention his guitar playing.
And besides, he spoke as clearly as he wrote, no mumbling or fumbling over words and much motorvating creativity.
All Hail Mighty Chuck Berry.
He can just sum up what he did musically, so simply. Yet at the time, the way he was doing it, it was completely new.
the greatest rock n roller in history. rip brown eyed handsome man.
Good interview, Thanks for uploading this.
The most interesting music talk I've seen since the last time I saw Chuck talk about himself
Great upload, thanks for posting this.
Wow, wonderful, thank you! ... was too young to appreciate back then
Articulate in voice, in mind and in music - wow, what brilliance!
Put that scrapbook in the R&R Hall of Fame so we can see it too!
Rest In Power to CB and RR
thanks for posting this.
I enjoyed this so much, just love it. Thank you !!!

Wow, amazing...
I want all the Hollywood stars now today and learn this mans hardships and put it into perspective
I have never seen him so calm

Nice of Robbie to do this with him. I danced with Chuck and got Robbie's autograph. Two of the greats!
This was shot at Chucks house on Bronson , Taylor Hackford directed. I was there

No stupid journalist questions here. Just an accomplished guitarist/songwriter interviewing a legend guitarist/songwriter.
really i thought robbinson was awful. he had his own perception and not a good listener. or just because chuck mentioned classical musicians he is some kind of intellectual? wtf? and poetry was associated with tough rebels in the 50s
wtf chuck invested in real estate. genius
I read or heard somewhere he was known to sleep in his car instead of fancy hotels to save cash. He was frugal with his money
Robbie voice remind me of Dick Clark.
Musicians get asked stupid questions as a matter of course, but it sure doesn't happen here.
Cita en Sevilla. Era un máquina.
I had never seen him so soft spoken. Also never realized how smart he was. I’m sure he got shafted early on but then he took care of businesses. What year was this recorded?
1986 :)
I bet chuck berry was a charmer
I notice he did include Marty McFly as his biggest influence. He stole his act
After Elvis Presley died on August 16, 1977, the African American newspaper, the Chicago Defender explained that: “When Elvis Presley breathed his last breath and the press hailed him as the ‘King of Rock,’ Ol’ Man River cried out, ‘Naw he ain’t!

It chops my ass 😳
priceless
where is that scrapbook now ? Hopefully in the musicians hall of fame or some museum
