Chuck Berry is also known as the King of Rock and Roll. He is one of the most famous rock and roll artists. His hits include the very well-known songs, Johnny B Goode, School Days (Hail, Hail Rock and Roll), Sweet Little Sixteen and My Ding-a-ling. These songs are amongst the most well-known rock and roll songs ever. It can be said that it was Chuck Berry who, with these songs, created rock and roll music. Along with this factor, another reason why people say Berry deserves the title more than Elvis is because Berry wrote all his own music, and Elvis didn't.
