Grand modernisateur du rock n’ roll à la charnière des années 1950-1960, Chuck Berry est l’un des musiciens les plus influents de la musique populaire américaine du XXe siècle.
Les compositions de Chuck Berry ont été jouées par les plus grands (de Count Basie aux Beatles) et sont tellement célèbres que l’on oublie parfois qu’il en reste le meilleur interprète. Bruno Blum a sélectionné le florilège de Chuck Berry entre 1954 et 1961.
