Charles Edward Anderson "Chuck" Berry (born October 18, 1926) is an American guitarist, singer and songwriter, and one of the pioneers of rock and roll music. With songs such as "Maybellene" (1955), "Roll Over Beethoven" (1956), "Rock and Roll Music" (1957) and "Johnny B. Goode" (1958), Berry refined and developed rhythm and blues into the major elements that made rock and roll distinctive, with lyrics focusing on teen life and consumerism and utilizing guitar solos and showmanship that would be a major influence on subsequent rock music.
Born into a middle-class African-American family in St. Louis, Missouri, Berry had an interest in music from an early age and gave his first public performance at Sumner High School. While still a high school student he was arrested, and served a prison sentence for armed robbery from 1944 to 1947. After his release, Berry settled into married life and worked at an automobile assembly plant. By early 1953, influenced by the guitar riffs and showmanship techniques of blues player T-Bone Walker, Berry began performing with the Johnnie Johnson Trio. His break came when he traveled to Chicago in May 1955, and met Muddy Waters, who suggested he contact Leonard Chess of Chess Records. With Chess he recorded "Maybellene"—Berry's adaptation of the country song "Ida Red"—which sold over a million copies, reaching number one on Billboard's Rhythm and Blues chart. By the end of the 1950s, Berry was an established star with several hit records and film appearances to his name as well as a lucrative touring career. He had also established his own St. Louis-based nightclub, called Berry's Club Bandstand. But in January 1962, Berry was sentenced to three years in prison for offenses under the Mann Act—he had transported a 14-year-old girl across state lines.
Chuck Berry is a Chuck Berry album which was released in 1975 by Chess Records. Some pressings of this album carry the title Chuck Berry '75. Berry's daughter, Ingrid, is featured on backing vocals.
This was Berry's final new album release for Chess Records, ending an off-and-on association with the label dating back 21 years. He moved on to Atco Records, for which he recorded his next (and, to date, most recent) studio album, 1979's Rock It.

Just let me hear some of that Rock 'n' Roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be Rock Roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
I have no kick against modern jazz
Unless they try to play it too darn fast
And change the beauty of the melody
Until they sound just like a symphony
That's why I go for that Rock 'n' Roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be Rock Roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
I took my loved one over across the tracks
So she can hear my man avail a sax
I must admit the have a rockin' band
Man they were blowin' like a hurricane
That's why I go for that Rock 'n' Roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be Rock Roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
Way down South they gave a jubilee
The jockey folks they had a jamboree
They're drinkin' home brew from a wooden cup
The folks dancin' got all shook up
And started playin' that Rock 'n' Roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be Rock Roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
Don't care to hear 'em play the tango
I'm in the mood to dig a mambo
It's way to early for the Congo
So keep a rockin' that piano
So I can hear some of that Rock 'n' Roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be Rock Roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
