FROM BBC NEWS 19MARCH 2017

Rock and roll legend Chuck Berry has died aged 90, police in the US state of Missouri report.

The singer was found unresponsive at lunchtime on Saturday, St Charles County police said.
Berry's seven-decade career boasted a string of hits, including classics Roll Over Beethoven and Johnny B. Goode.
He received a lifetime achievement Grammy in 1984 and was among the first inductees to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986.

How can hits of the Seventies have Chuck Berry in it, well Chuck, born  Charles Edward Anderson Berry was born in 1926, and his hey day was in the 1950s and 1960s with classics like  "Nadine","No Particular Place To Go" and "Promised Land".

Chuck Berry had a surprise huge No1 hit in 1973 with the single "My Ding A Ling", which was the very first single I ever purchased, I knew it had rude connotations and it was great to force my parents to listen to it.Taken from the album "The London Chuck Berry Sessions", and actually comes from a record called  "Little Girl Sing  Ding A Ling"  in 1952. Two silver balls is what the record was about, that came on a string from a grandmother, and how to keep hold of them during events like swimming the creek, I am sure most people listening to the lyrics would think something different.
