If you tried to give rock and roll another name, you might call it 'Chuck Berry'.

Back then, I, most rockers loved Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis... you know in the '60s.

Actually, I loved Chucky. It's one of the strangest movies I've ever seen.

I mean, I haven't been completely lacking in some enjoyment of Chuck Berry or Buddy Holly. But I just didn't pay attention to that period of music, obviously.

I don't think they'd ever make a movie about Chuck Baker but I'd love to play Chuck Baker.

Berry Gordy turned his house into a studio and discovered over 30 acts in the city. And we're famous all over the world.

This kid's excited because he's with Bad Company and I'm excited because I'm with Chuck Berrys' son.

I was inspired by the classic rock radio of the Seventies. They separated Chuck Berry and the Beatles from the Led Zeppelins and Bostons and Peter Framptons of the time. In many ways, classic rock became bigger than mainstream rock.

Raphael Saadiq said to me, quite often, that Chuck D was his history teacher. And so he got a lot from the music, things that he wasn't getting maybe in school. And I feel the same way with regards to Earth, Wind & Fire, Stevie Wonder.
