He lived a very long and productive life, with his last album coming out this year. May he keep duck walking and playing with his ding-a-ling in the skies above.

Chuck was one of the architects of rock and roll. Back in my teenage years when everybody was forming bands, and we were auditioning guitar players, if you didn't even know "Johnny B. Goode", don't even bother applying.

Still, to live to be 90, and active until almost the very end, is nothing to sneeze about.
Thank you Chuck. Because of you, "Let it Rock", "You Can't Catch Me", and "Memphis Tennessee" got heavy rotation in our set lists.

I honestly thought he had died years ago.
Well, my little sister is a huge classic rock freak, so I was very much aware that he was still alive. My sister had to watch him every time he had a performance on TV.
However, i'm very surprised to find out that Chubby Checker and Fats Domino are still with us.
