Chuck Berry said his main influence was Rosetta Tharpe. She invented rock n roll and I also believe electric blues, because artists like Muddy Waters and Buddy Guy took influence from her too.

Only 58 when she passed. She would have been 98 when finally inducted. Wikipedia has her born in 1915 with other sources stating 1920. really makes no difference other than she left us all too soon.
