Chuck Berry is arguably the most important figure in rock history. Chuck Berry melded blues, country, and a witty, defiant teen outlook into songs that influenced vitally every rock musician in his wake. Don Brautigam did Chuck's final album cover Rockit in 1979 "The artwork bizarrely (and somewhat appealingly) rides the post-Star Wars wave as it features Chuck's signature Gibson orbiting the Earth (which also nicely plays into the pun of the title, a pun so slight that it's possible to not realize it's a pun without the artwork)." Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide. John Lennon said, "If you tried to give rock and roll another name, you might call it 'Chuck Berry'."
