Legendary rock n’ roll musician Chuck Berry has died, police say. He was 90.

Emergency responders were called Saturday to Berry's home, where they found him unresponsive, according to KTVI. They tried lifesaving techniques without success.

Berry, a native of St. Louis, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986. He matched country, blues and R&B influences. Some of his hits include "Roll Over Beethoven," "Johnny B. Goode," and "Rock and Roll Music."

His family has asked for privacy as it grieves.
