This biography uncovers the real Berry and provides us with a stirring, unvarnished portrait of both the man and the artist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBerry has long been one of pop music's most enigmatic personalities. Berry's career rise was meteoric; but his fall came equally quickly, when his relations with an underage girl led to his conviction.
