You are probably referring to Chuck Berry. He served three years (1944-1947) in reform school, but it was music that helped turn his life around. A skilled guitarist, he formed a trio and it became really popular in the clubs of St. Louis. That led to his getting a recording contract and he began having a number of rock/rhythm & blues hits in the mid-1950s.
