Chuck Berry, who’s popular even among grandparents’ generation, is a singer credited with laying the foundations of rock ’n’ roll and released many hit songs.

Among his most iconic works is “My Ding-A-Ling,” a song about a boy who receives a bell from his grandmother.

There are multiple interpretations of what this bell signifies.

By the way, the track is a cover of a song of the same name performed by Dave Bartholomew.

Run Rudolph Run

A Christmas number released to the world in 1958 by Chuck Berry, often called the father of rock ’n’ roll.

Set to Berry’s signature, driving guitar riffs, it depicts Santa’s reindeer Rudolph sprinting full-speed to deliver presents to children.

The breezy rock ’n’ roll beat, reminiscent of “Johnny B.

Goode,” is irresistibly catchy and has been featured in Christmas films like Home Alone.

After its 1958 release, it re-entered the charts in 2019 and, in 2021, set a record by reaching the top 10—62 years after its initial debut.

With its fast-tempo guitar sound that naturally gets your body moving, it’s the perfect track to fire up a party!

Chuck Berry – Sweet Little Sixteen (1958)

It’s one of Chuck Berry’s big hits, but later Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys made his own “Surfin’ U.

S.

A.” into a song that sounded almost identical, which led to a plagiarism controversy.

In the end, Brian acknowledged the plagiarism, and the credit went to Chuck.
