songwriter who pioneered rock and roll with distinctive songs
such as "Maybellene" (1955), "Roll Over Beethoven" (1956),
"Rock and Roll Music" (1957), and "Johnny B. Goode" (1958).

Writing lyrics that focused on teen life and consumerism, and
developing a music style that included guitar solos along with
showmanship, Berry was a major influence on subsequent
rock music.
