Despite being "authorized;" LR was brilliantly open with the author fully deserves a share of the credit. This Chuck Berrys Autobiography should be essentials for anyone interested in 1950s pop music; performers who broke through in Jim Crow era US; major cultural icons; people in general.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

For instance; on one page; you might read one of his siblings perspective on Richard or his former manager talking about him and then it switches back to the author/Richards perspective. I wouldenjoy the book better if it only stayed in the author and Richards perspective and not include commentary sections from many other people who knew Richard.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
