Spinning Chuck Berry 45s as a child along with Beatles and Elvis are my earliest memories as a music lover. He is a Rock Icon in my opinion. I think he was very influential on the British Invasion. I could be wrong about that but I seem to remember interviews where Chuck was cited as an influence on the British music scene of the early 60s.
