The lean, lanky duck-walker was born in St. Louis on October 18, 1926 and soaked up a blend of pop, big band swing, country, and blues influences as he grew up. After a stint in a Missouri reformatory, Berry returned to St. Louis, picking up an electric guitar and learning Carl Hogan’s licks from the smash platters of jump blues pioneer Louis Jordan. He’d already played around town with bandleader Tommy Stevens prior to receiving a fateful phone call from pianist Johnnie Johnson inviting Chuck to join him at a top East St. Louis nightspot, the Cosmopolitan Club, on New Year’s Eve of ’52. “I employed him one night to work for me, because one of my original players couldn’t make it,” said the late Johnson. Berry’s predilection for country music made him stand out on the local scene. “It was something new, and everybody was very interested in it, especially coming from a black guy playing hillbilly music,” said Johnson. By May of 1955, Chuck was itching to record. He traveled up to Chicago and asked blues king Muddy Waters for advice. Muddy sent him to Chess Records. “I give him the address, told him they open at 5 ○ ○○○○○ nine o’clock, be there at 10,” said the late Waters. “Tell Leonard Chess I sent him 2. there!’” The Moonglows Berry’s Chess debut release Maybellene with Red Holloway’s Orchestra shot straight to the top of the R&B hit parade Hey Santa Claus in the summer of ’55 and went Top Five (Harvey Fuqua-Alan Freed) pop, designating the guitarist as one of rock and roll’s primordial standard bearers.

Fuqua relocated to Cleveland in 1952, and with tenor Danny Coggins and bass Prentiss Barnes formed a jazz-oriented vocal group, The Crazy Sounds.

    Fats Domino, Early Rock ’n’ Roller With a Boogie-Woogie Piano, Is Dead at 89 https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/25/obituaries/fats-domino-89-one-of-rock-n-rolls-first-stars-is-dead.html October 25, 2017 By JON PARELES and WILLIAM GRIMES Fats Domino in 1967. Fats Domino, the New Orleans rhythm-and-blues singer whose two-fisted boogie-woogie piano and nonchalant vocals, heard on dozens of hits, made him one of the biggest stars of the early rock ’n’ roll era, died on Tuesday at his home in Harvey, La., across the Mississippi River from New Orleans. He was 89. His death was confirmed by the Jefferson Parish coroner’s office. Mr. Domino had more than three dozen Top 40 pop hits through the 1950s and early ’60s, among them “Blueberry Hill,” “Ain’t It a Shame” (also known as “Ain’t That a Shame,” which is the actual lyric), “I’m Walkin’,” “Blue !1 Monday” and “Walkin’ to New Orleans.” Throughout he displayed both the buoyant spirit of New Orleans, his hometown, and a droll resilience that reached listeners worldwide. He sold 65 million singles in those years, with 23 gold records, making him second only to Elvis Presley as a commercial force. Presley acknowledged Mr. Domino as a predecessor. “A lot of people seem to think I started this business,” Presley told Jet magazine in 1957. “But rock ’n’ roll was here a long time before I came along. Nobody can sing that music like colored people. Let’s face it: I can’t sing it like Fats Domino can.
