Hail, Hail, Rock ‘n’ Roll
Chuck Berry to Perform
Don’t miss the energy of Chuck Berry when he comes to Chinook Winds
C asino on Oct. 5 and 6. Since 1955, he’s been rocking audiences with his
combination of rock and blues music.
Bom in St Louis, Mo., in 1926, Berry got his start with the recording of
“Maybelline.” This song sold more than 1 million copies and reached No. 1 on
Billboard’s R&B chart and No. 5 on the Hot 100. It was followed in 1956 by
“Roll Over Beethoven” (No. 29 on the Hot 100).
His next charted hit didn’t come until March 1957 when “School Days” climbed
to No. 5 on the Hot 100. For the next two-and-a-half years, he enjoyed an unbroken
string of chart hits (10 in all), including “Oh Baby Doll,” “Rock and Roll Music,”
Sweet Little Sixteen, and “Johnny B. Goode.” These hits are, without a doubt,
some of the greatest and most enduring songs in the history of rock and roll.
Berry appeared numerous times in movies, including “Rock, Rock, Rock”
(1956), “Mr. Rock and Roll” (1957), and “Go, Johnny Go” in 1959, in which he
had an extensive speaking part. Additionally, he continued to tour with many
rock ‘n’ roll legends, including Buddy Holly and Jerry Lee Lewis.
Ironically, he achieved his only No. 1 hit with the sophomoric schoolyard ditty
“My Ding-A-Ling” in 1972, holding Elvis to the No. 2 spot for “Burning Love.”
Berry’s contribution to rock ‘n’ roll is enormous and still is being felt, as his 1986
induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the 1987 release of his
autobiography and accompanying movie “Hail, Hail, Rock and Roll” have proved.
Don’t miss the chance to hear this legendary performer in concert. Shows are
at 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Tickets are $3O-$5O, depending on seat location.
Charley Pride to Perform
“Just Between You and Me,” you don’t want to be left out when Charley Pride
comes to Chinook Winds Casino on Oct. 19 and 20. For more than 30 years, he has
thrilled country fans worldwide with his personal warmth and love of country music.
Pride was born in Sledge, Miss., on March 18, 1939, and at age 14 taught
himself to play the guitar. At 16, he left Sledge to play baseball with the Negro
League. 4 hroughout his baseball career, he sang on public address systems and in
taverns. Red Sovine heard him in 1963 and arranged an audition for Pride in
Nashville in 1964. This led to a recording contract with RCA and produced the
1964 hit, “Snakes Crawl At Night.”
Touring incessantly throughout the 1960s, Pride debuted at the Grand Ole
Opry in 1967 and hit the charts with “Does My Ring Hurt Your Finger” and “I
Know One.” In 1970, he won the Country Music Award for Entertainer of the Year
and already had achieved tremendous success as a major figure in the popular
culture scene of the U.S.
Other honors included Billboard’s Trendsetter Award and the Music Operators
of America’s Entertainer of the Year Award. He continues to perform in Europe,
Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Fiji, and in Canadian provinces, and even takes in
a few extra countries on USO tours, entertaining our service men and women who
are stationed overseas.
With more than 36 No. 1 country singles, Pride has remained one of the top 20
best-selling country artists of all time. He became a member of the Grand Ole Opry
in 1993, the first African-American in its more than 70-year history, and was inducted
into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2001. Dozens of his songs stand as modem
classics, such as “Kiss An Angel Good Morning,” “Is Anybody Goin’ to San Antone?”
“Mississippi Cotton Picking Delta Town,” and, of course, “Kaw-Liga.”
Don’t miss the chance to hear this legendary performer in concert. Shows are
at 8 p.m. on Friday and 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. on Saturday. Tickets are $30-$45,
depending on seat location.
