Chuck Berry performs at the Congress Theater on January 1, 2011, in Chicago.
(CNN)Chuck Berry, a music pioneer often called "the Father of Rock 'n' Roll," was found dead Saturday at a residence outside St. Louis, police in St. Charles County said.
Berry, 90, wrote and recorded the rock standards "Johnny B. Goode" and "Sweet Little Sixteen."
A post on the St. Charles County police Facebook page said officers responded to a medical emergency at a residence around 12:40 p.m. (1:40 p.m. ET) Saturday and found an unresponsive man inside.
"Unfortunately, the 90-year-old man could not be revived and was pronounced deceased at 1:26 p.m.," the post said. "The St. Charles County Police Department sadly confirms the death of Charles Edward Anderson Berry Sr., better known as legendary musician Chuck Berry."
Developing story - more to come
Remember when these came out and remember dancing to them. R.I.P. Chuck

I don't know that I would call him "sir". He kidnapped a 14 year old girl and took her across state lines for immoral purposes and set up video camera's in a woman's bathroom to record women doing their business. Ugh. He's not a good person.

Neither was Michael Jackson, but you can not deny his influence in music.
Same with Chuck Berry.

I read that! I may have heard about it before but didn't register. It killed his on stage career, but not the song writing portion. Dirty perv,

The claims against Michael Jackson were very questionable, the first of them being shown to be made up by a greedy father who drugged the kid (the child actually had himself emancipated and thereafter always refused to testify against Michael Jackson) and Michael Jackson was unanimously acquitted by the jury the only time he was ever charged.

I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.
And O.J. was innocent, and Casey Anthony was innocent.
All I'm saying is, Chuck have been a shady, pervy, guy, but that doesn't take away from his place in rock and roll history.

Chuck was actually convicted and sent to prison for 4 years - which many in the music industry say changed him drastically.
The accusations against Michael Jackson were always very suspicious, and for the number of children he had at his ranch, many of whom testified they were never abused, I cannot find it as compelling evidence.

I think he was a perv. I think he did every bit of it.
Still not the point I was making.

There is no evidence of that. Every claim made so far has not been true. To smear someone's name by calling them a pedophile without any real evidence is horrible.
And I don't care about your point.

I heard that the accusations just about killed him and what drove him to taking drugs. We are supposed to be innocent till proven quilty but the media and public opinion declared him quilty.

He was found innocent because the witnesses against him contradicted their own testimony, and/or had grudges against him. The mother of the boy said they were kept captive at Neverland, but she went out all the time shopping. The prosecutor's case was so bad that the defense team chose not to call all their witnesses, shaving about a month off the trial, because they were confident there was no credible evidence against him.
