Chuck Berry Tells Guy Stevens About "How I Write My Songs"

MY FIRST MEETING with Chuck Berry proved to be as exciting and interesting as I had expected. I met him in the offices of Chess Records in Chicago, the company which first recorded this dynamic guitar-playing singer from St. Louis back in 1955, and which has recorded him prolifically since. Chuck greeted me warmly, introduced me to the executives of Chess Records and took me on a tour of their offices and studios, all located in the same building on South Michigan Avenue.
