His influence is massive via Beatles, Stones , Clapton etc. As I've mentioned a few times on here I particularly love the lyrics in his songs especially. 

I think to a large degree that this was his legacy - he was never the greatest guitar player - he borrowed many licks from T-Bone Walker, but he made them into his own and wrote his songs around such licks - Pre Chuck Berry we had the blues and swing/jazz, but in many ways rock n roll, as far as far guitar playing goes, started with Chuck - Elvis sang, Buddy wrote great songs, but Chuck stated a template that guitar players pick up and ran off with - who has not played or tried to play the opening riff to Johnny B Goode

RIP - Chuck

And tbh chuck was right if someone started pissing about with Keith's amp cos it will sound better he'd probs give them an earful too

Though my fave bit of that film is in the concert when chuck whispers change key (his sale of head and face is priceless)
