I think that bathroom thing cost him millions to settle. He went to prison (late 50’s or early 60’s) for taking a 14-year-old across state lines for prostitution. I don’t doubt his talent, but he was vile.
“seizure of Berry’s porn collection, however, led to a scandalous 1993 report in the since-defunct Spy magazine that went way beyond the earlier scandals — revealing a penchant for sexual fetishes involving bodily excretions and a predilection for spying on women in bathrooms.
The magazine described a homemade video in which Berry and “an attractive blond white woman” both relieved themselves during a New Year’s Eve romp in the bathroom of a hotel suite in Lake Tahoe, Nev.
The report also detailed how Berry allegedly installed hidden cameras in the women’s restroom at the Southern Air restaurant in Wentzville after he bought it in 1987. One camera “was evidently behind the toilet seat,” according to Spy, while others captured “aerial views of the toilets’ contents during the seconds after the women stood but before they flushed”
So in other words... it wasn’t the women he was interested in seeing...it was their POOP! Serious? Why?????
... and the things you guys are mentioning isn’t even the thing I was thinking about.
Google it. It’s too disgusting to relate here.
As for Chuck being the “king of rock and roll”... nonsense. He was a great songwriter and a mediocre performer (at best). Many people could (and did) take his numbers and perform them better than he did. On the other hand, people rarely covered Elvis numbers because they KNEW they couldn’t compete with his performances.
