Happy Birthday Chuck Berry!

The original rock 'n' roller turns 85 today, and quite frankly, we don't know how he still does it.

Despite his advanced age, there seems to be no stopping the duck walking Berry, who continues performing regularly including a show Nov. 16 at Blueberry Hill's Duck Room, his usual stomping grounds that he sells out monthly.

Berry, who popped in as a surprise guest at the grand opening gala of the Peabody Opera House earlier this month, remains a national treasure with an unbeatable repertoire of, you guessed it, "Rock and Roll Music."

Give "Roll Over Beethoven," "Sweet Little Sixteen," "Johnny B. Goode," "Brown Eyed Handsome Man" and "My Ding-A-Ling" special spins in your iPod or CD player today in tribute to this music legend.
