(Guitar Recorded Versions). This folio has been revised to include all-new transcriptions of 17 of Berry's greatest hits including: Back in the U.S.A. * Johnny B. Goode * Little Queenie * Maybellene * Roll Over Beethoven * Sweet Little Rock and Roller * and more.

The definitive biography of Chuck Berry, legendary performer and inventor of rock and roll. Best known as the groundbreaking artist behind classics like "Johnny B. Goode," "Maybellene," "You Never Can Tell" and "Roll Over Beethoven," Chuck Berry was a man of wild contradictions, whose motives and motivations were often shrouded in mystery. After all, how did a teenage delinquent come to write so many songs that transformed American culture? And, once he achieved fame and recognition, why did he put his career in danger with a lifetime's worth of reckless personal behaviour? Throughout his life, Berry refused to shed light on either the mastery or the missteps, leaving the complexity that encapsulated his life and underscored his music largely unexplored--until now. In Chuck Berry, biographer RJ Smith crafts a comprehensive portrait of one of the great American entertainers, guitarists, and lyricists of the 20th century, bringing Chuck Berry to life in vivid detail. Based on interviews, archival research, legal documents, and a deep understanding of Berry's St. Louis (his birthplace, and the place where he died in March 2017), Smith sheds new light on a man few have ever really understood. By placing his life within the context of the American culture he made and eventually withdrew from, we understand how Berry became such a groundbreaking figure in music, erasing racial boundaries, crafting subtle political commentary, and paying a great price for his success. While celebrating his accomplishments, the book also does not shy away from troubling aspects of his public and private life, asking profound questions about how and why we separate the art from the artist. Berry declined to call himself an artist, shrugging that he was good at what he did. But the man's achievement was the rarest kind, the kind that had social and political resonance, the kind that made America want to get up and dance. At long last, Chuck Berry brings the man and the music together.

*Includes pictures *Includes Berry's quotes about his life and career *Includes footnotes and a bibliography for further reading "I grew up thinking art was pictures until I got into music and found I was an artist and didn't paint." - Chuck Berry "If you tried to give rock and roll another name, you might call it 'Chuck Berry.'" - John Lennon The origins of rock music claim several founding fathers, with each perspective holding merit and directly contributing to the golden age to follow in rock music. While Elvis Presley remains perhaps the most high profile figure of early rock, he was not truly a member of the first generation, and if anything, he was a product of a slightly older wave of ground-breaking artists. Appearing immediately before Presley's rise was Texan Buddy Holly, whose borrowings from driving black rhythms blended with white lyrics to make him one of the first successful cross-over artists. However, perhaps the first and ultimately the most successful of this category - those artistic explorers who most effectively blurred racial and political lines through their music - was Chuck Berry, an African-American blues, country singer/guitarist songwriter who perfectly blended the prevailing forms of his generation to attract both black and white audiences with a virtuosity and originality that set the bar for the next half century. Unlike Presley, and more in the manner of Holly, Chuck Berry wrote his own classics, and he thrived as both a composer and lyricist based on his early love of poetry and hard blues, jump blues jazzy ballads, boogie-woogie, and hillbilly music. As a double-threat musician and imaginative literary figure, Berry trained his musical focus on American "teen life...consumerism and utilizing guitar solos and showmanship that would be a major influence on subsequent rock music." Indeed, Chuck Berry was the first artist to reach the charts who was both a virtuoso guitarist and songwriter. As with the gyrations of Elvis and the moonwalk of Michael Jackson, Berry had his trademark stage gesture, the "duck walk," a maneuver in which the right foot is kicked across the stage and leaves the left dragging along behind. It is suggested by some that this signature gesture was not actually planned for anything other than to camouflage a wrinkled rayon suit in a mid-'50s performance in New York, but either way, only a small part of Berry's success came from the visual. Berry also "crafted many of rock 'n' roll's greatest riffs" for guitar, and he became the standard for brilliance on the instrument. In addition to pioneering the sound of rock, Berry's performances set the bar for rock bands across the world. In particular, his specific brand of showmanship served as a template for front men, and all the while, the complete package included iconic guitar riffs that showed blinding tactile skill, energetic boogie-based hits, and depictions of village life and love for both blacks and whites. Put together, Berry's work made the careers of subsequent stars and superstars of the genre possible. As the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame put it, "While no individual can be said to have invented rock and roll, Chuck Berry comes the closest of any single figure to being the one who put all the essential pieces together. It was his particular genius to graft country & western guitar licks onto a rhythm & blues chassis in his very first single, 'Maybellene.'" American Legends: The Life of Chuck Berry looks at the life and career of one of America's most influential rock stars. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about Chuck Berry like never before, in no time at all.

Zusammen mit Mario, dem Protagonisten des Romans, erlebt der Leser eine Achterbahn der Gef hle. In diesem authentischen Lebensentwurf geht es um den Leichtsinn der Jugend, den Freiheitsdrang, der in uns allen steckt und um die Liebe zum Leben und zu sich selbst. Mario entdeckt in den 70ern die linksradikale Szene aber auch die Drogenkultur. Er ger t auf die "schiefe Bahn", kommt in den Knast und ber weitere "Umwege" zur "Erleuchtung". Jahrzehnte sp ter kann er sagen: Das Leben lohnt sich doch und am Ende bleibt das Lachen. Mario beginnt fr h ber das gesellschaftliche Ungleichgewicht zu reflektieren. Statt jedoch politisch zu werden, kippt er ins Drogenmilieu ab. Marios Geschichte handelt davon, wie er sich beinahe selbst zerst rte, um dann langsam aber sicher aufzuerstehen, wie der Ph nix aus der Asche. Denn er entdeckte, was schon weise Menschen vor ihm entdeckt haben. Erz hlt wird auch von Mona, einer jungen Frau im Erziehungsheim. Ihr gelingt die Flucht und trifft beim Trampen auf Mario. Durch ihn findet sie eine Bleibe in Frankfurt, einen Job und Perspektive. Sp ter geht Mario f r zwei Jahre wegen Haschischhandels in den Knast. Danach beginnt das m hsame "Resozialisieren". In der Zwischenzeit hat er Mona wieder getroffen. Sie werden ein Paar. Nach langen inneren und u eren K mpfen beginnt Mario ein spirituelles Training. Und so kommt er langsam seiner Bestimmung nahe. Er m chte mit Menschen und f r Menschen arbeiten. Nach ersten Erfolgen in eigener Praxis beschlie t er in einer spirituelle Kommune in Frankreich zu leben. Dort lernt er die Energiearbeit und die Arbeit mit Gruppen lieben. Mario sieht, dass er in einer Zeit des kollektiven Erwachens lebt. Selbst in Wirtschaft und Politik kann er die Zeichen erkennen. Es gibt mehr Transparenz und F r- & Miteinander. Falschheiten, L gen und Unintegrit t funktionieren nicht mehr.
