Charles Edward Anderson "Chuck" Berry (born October 18, 1926) is an immensely influential American guitarist, singer, and composer, and one of the pioneers of rock & roll music. Berry was born in St. Louis, Missouri and was part of the first group to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on its opening in 1986. Though playing what was considered Rhythm & Blues (R & B), in retrospect Berry is now seen by many as more of a rockabilly (rather than R & B) singer. However, he was the real poet of 1950s rock 'n' roll.

Some People Lyrics
Chuck Berry
Some people live each week in fun and play
From sweat by you and by me
While we must toil so long each day
Just to stay alive and free
Some people live in homes, so content and reposed
Unrushed through all the woe
While we share that woe
With those who have no woe at all
Some people live with much and care the least
If war should end or stay
While we, with less, pay more for peace
Uum, why should it be this way ?
Oh, the day's sure to come
When we would have to live
In love and peace and happiness
And we will have the will to love
And to give to those who do have less
