Chuck Berry: The Autobiography. Signed by Chuck Berry. First Edition, First Printing. Harmony Books. New York, 1987.

American guitarist and songwriter Chuck Berry is the Father of Rock & Roll. In the 1950s, he drew from rhythm and blues and country with new emphasis on guitar, resulting in some of the most innovative music of the century. His most famous songs, including “Maybellene,” “Johnny B. Goode,” and “Rock and Roll Music,” remain some of the best ever recorded. Without Chuck Berry, rock and roll as we know it would not exist. In this volume, his only autobiography, the music legend recounts his life in America through childhood, fame, and a love for the genre he established. It is a remarkable account, extremely well-written, and honest in detail. For any rock and roll collector, it is an essential volume.
