If we're going to talk about the father of rock and roll, it simply has to be Little Richard. He's the one who took the stagnating form of R&B and wired it up, adding the fire and the form of what we now know as rock and roll and making history. However, Chuck Berry did it better, and really cemented the need for the electric guitar for the genre, so I voted for him.
