Guitar, Aspen, Colorado, 1999

Photo: Musician holding red electric guitar

Rock-and-roll pioneer Chuck Berry plays a candy apple-red guitar at the Jazz Aspen Music Festival. Called the father of rock-and-roll, Berry is as revered for his iconic hits, such as "Johnny B. Goode," "Maybellene," and "Memphis," as he is for helping break the color barrier in the music world.
