(CNN)Chuck Berry, a music pioneer often called "the Father of Rock 'n' Roll," was found dead Saturday at a residence outside St. Louis, police in St. Charles County said.

I wonder if they'll let him play with his Dinga Ling in Rock 'n Roll Heaven. 
Seriously, though, RIP Chuck, you were an inspiration and leading light to many generations of musicians.
