(CNN) — Chuck Berry, a music pioneer often called "the Father of Rock 'n' Roll," was found dead Saturday at a residence outside St. Louis, police in St. Charles County said.

Berry, 90, wrote and recorded the rock standards "Johnny B. Goode" and "Sweet Little Sixteen."

A post on the St. Charles County police Facebook page said officers responded to a medical emergency at a residence around 12:40 p.m. (1:40 p.m. ET) Saturday and found an unresponsive man inside.

"Unfortunately, the 90-year-old man could not be revived and was pronounced deceased at 1:26 p.m.," the post said. "The St. Charles County Police Department sadly confirms the death of Charles Edward Anderson Berry Sr., better known as legendary musician Chuck Berry."

Thanks for sharing SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL the sad but not-very-surprising news that rock and roll pioneer and legend Charles Edward Anderson "Chuck" Berry (October 18, 1926 – March 18, 2017) died at a residence outside St. Louis in St. Charles County, Missouri.
Kudos to the man who played "Johnny B. Goode" and "Sweet Little Sixteen."
