Chuck Berry remains an influential figure and one of the pioneers of rock and roll music who first began performing in 1953. Cub Koda wrote, "Of all the early breakthrough rock & roll artists, none is more important to the development of the music than Chuck Berry. He is its greatest songwriter, the main shaper of its instrumental voice, one of its greatest guitarists, and one of its greatest performers." John Lennon was more succinct: "If you tried to give rock and roll another name, you might call it 'Chuck Berry'."
Berry was among the first musicians to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on its opening in 1986.

The finest exponent of Chuck Berry, guitar, sound at Liverpool during 1959 to 1963, was Vincent Tow/Ismail, who in turn passed on many of the learned skills to Lennon & McCartney, his friends and colleagues during that period--1959 to 1962/3.

Almost Grown
Chuck Berry Lyrics
(Wow wow) You know I'm almost grown (wow wow)
Yeah 'n' I'm doin' all right in school
They ain't said I broke no rule
I ain't never been in Dutch
I don't browse around too much
Don't bother me, leave me alone
Anyway I'm almost grown
I don't run around with no mob
Got myself a little job
I'm gonna buy me a little car
Drive my girl in the park
Don't bother just leave us alone
Anyway we're almost grown
Got my eye on a little girl
Ah, she's really out of this world
When I take her to the dance
She's got to talk about romance
Don't bother just leave us alone
Anyway we're almost grown
You know I'm still livin' in town
But I done married and settled down
Now I really have a ball
So I don't browse around at all
Don't bother just leave us alone
Anyway we're almost grown

Lyrics:
(Wow wow)
You know I’m almost grown
(Wow Wow)
Yeah ‘n’ I’m doing all right in school
They ain’t said I broke no rule
I ain’t never been in Dutch
I don’t carouse around too much
Don’t bother me, leave me alone
Anyway I’m almost grown
I don’t run around with no mob
Got myself a little job
I’m going to buy me a little car
Drive my girl in the park
Don’t bother us, leave us alone
Anyway we’re almost grown
Got my eye on a little girl
Ah, she’s really out of this world
Now I take her to a dance
We started talkin’ about romance
Don’t bother us, leave us alone
Anyway we’re almost grown
You know I’m still livin’ in town
But I done married and settle down
Now I really have a ball
So I don’t browse around at all
Don’t bother us, leave us alone
Anyway we’re almost grown

John Lennon said it best: "If they ever changed the name of rock and roll, they'd have to call it Chuck Berry". He really was The Greatest.
