Berry, considered one of the pioneers of rock and roll music, defined the genre with hits like 1955's "Maybellene," 1956's "Roll Over Beethoven," 1957's "Rock and Roll Music" and 1958's "Johnny B. Goode," and inspired artists like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.
The guitarist was honored with the GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award in 1984, and the Kennedy Center Honors in 2000. In honor of his 90th birthday in October, Berry announced he would be releasing a new album in 2017, after 38 years.
Berry is survived by his wife, Themetta "Toddy" Suggs, daughters Melody Exes Berry-Eskridge, Ingrid Berry and Aloha Berry, and son Charles Berry Jr.
