Chuck Berry: Hail! Hail! Rock ’n’ Roll!

The unforgettable life and music of the pioneering legend are celebrated in Chuck Berry: Hail! Hail! Rock ‘n’ Roll capturing a once-in-a-lifetime gathering of rock and roll’s finest!

In 1986, Keith Richards invited a roster of great musicians to honor Chuck Berry for an evening of music to commemorate Berry’s 60th birthday including performances by Eric Clapton, Robert Cray, Linda Ronstadt, Etta James and Julian Lennon along with archival footage of an unforgettable duet by Chuck and John Lennon. From director Taylor Hackford (Ray), this landmark film will keep your toes tapping and your soul rocking all night long!

"The film works on two levels: as a portrait of a private, bitter and streetwise man, and as a major musical talent performing with obvious delight."
Gene Siskel, Chicago Tribune
