		His legal troubles did not end there as he was convicted in 1961 of violating the Mann Act (bringing an underage girl across state lines for immoral purposes) and in 1979 of income tax evasion.
		It also was symbolic of the negative practice of the '50s that had people in promotion and disc jockeys being named as co-publishers in order to get in on royalties.
		The hits continued and as Berry's writing, playing and vocal style evolved so did his popularity among the youth of the '50s and later musicians, too, as many of his songs were covered by others, including the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.

		By early September Maybellene (my motor home) and I were traveling along the Blue Ridge Parkway, near Boone, North Carolina.
		As Maybellene rocked in the gusty wind I awoke a few times and listened to the thrashing rain.
		Maybellene, Sammie and I were safely on a hill, but much of the campground was along the banks of the Linville River.

	The Chuck Berry Page
		On May 21, 1955, the song, now renamed "Maybellene," was recorded with Willie Dixon on bass; immediately, Chess gave a copy of the record to the influential disc jockey Alan Freed, who aired the single for two hours straight one night on his show on WINS in New York.
		The copyright for "Maybellene" contained the names of Alan Freed and Russ Fratto as well as Berry's; while Freed's name on the song ensured airplay, it also reduced Berry's royalty payments.
		Learning from these initial pitfalls, Berry realized that self-sufficiency and independence were keys to long term survival in the business, and from this point on, he became determined to take charge of his own affairs, sowing the seeds for the later allegations of his being difficult to work with.

		Berry recorded "Maybellene" for the Chicago-based Chess Records, he was inspired, he said, by a country-western song, "Ida Red." Leonard Chess, one of the owners, told him he didn't like the title.
		He was back in a week with what turned into "Maybellene." The song, which hinted at a marriage between country music and rock 'n' roll, was released that July 30.
		In September, "Maybellene" reached No. 1 on Billboard's R and B chart and had crossed over into the pop chart.

	Chuck Berry: Creator of Rock and Roll
		Raised to the beat of Baptist hymns, Chuck Berry ignited the rock and roll revolution with "Maybellene," his first hit.
		But Berry's first hit, "Maybellene," released in 1955 on the Chess label, was the lightning bolt that ignited the rock and roll revolution.
		Berry's career was on the fast track until 1962, when he was imprisoned for violating the Mann Act for driving an underage white girl across state lines.

		A few years after Richards heard “Maybellene,” his band, the Rolling Stones, launched their recording career with a cover of Chuck Berry's “Come On.” It took the Stones years to work off the influence and darken their palette, building on Berry's sound.
		Ostensibly a song about a faithless woman, it is also, explicitly, about a race between a Ford and a Cadillac, a guitar played through an amp that sounds like it's about to burn, and just behind that, a boogie-woogie piano in orbit.
		To do that, one really needs to hear them back-to-back with the numbers they were jostling from the hit parade, plodding white covers of fl artists' songs, like Georgia Gibbs' “Dance With Me Henry” and Pat Boone's “Ain't That A Shame.” Berry and Johnson swept the charts like Drano through a clog.

		After all, Berry’s first hit song, “Maybellene,” is one of the earliest rock ‘n’ roll hits.
		History lists Chuck Berry as the author of “Maybellene,” the first song recorded by the trio, although Chess Records added the name of disk jockey Alan Freed to the song’s writing credits, a common practice in those days to ensure radio airplay.
		When “Maybellene” hit the top of the charts, Johnson said all of the focus was on Berry.

		Chess suggested "Maybellene" after noticing a Maybelline cosmetics box on a window sill beside a secretary's desk.
		And when "Maybellene" began to look like a hit, Leonard took the record directly to Alan Freed in New York to push Berry with all the clout Chess could muster.
		Whether Leonard recognized Berry for the most important single figure in rock 'n' roll history is debatable, but he knew greatness when he heard it and was willing to back his judgments with money and muscle.

		Berry was in high school when he started writing "Maybellene," originally called "Ida Red." According to Berry's pianist Johnnie Johnson, producer Leonard Chess insisted on the name change, inspired by a Maybelline mascara box lying on the floor at the Chess Records studio in Chicago, during the May 21st, 1955, session.
		Berry said he remembered the name from an old schoolbook.
		DJ Alan Freed had nothing to do with writing "Maybellene," although he got co-credit and royalties for years in return for playing it on the radio: payola in all but name.

		Chuck Berry, already 29 when he scored his first hit with 1955's "Maybellene," drew on his own experiences at school and behind the wheel to fashion many of the classics that made him one of rock & roll's earliest great songwriters.
		Linking country boogie to jump-blues licks from the likes of Louis Jordan, Berry was both in touch with the past and totally new, as proto-protests ("School Day") and odes to the freshly flourishing teen lifestyle ("Sweet Little Sixteen," "Oh Baby Doll") make clear.
		These include, but are not limited to Maybellene, Roll Over Beethoven, School Day, Rock And Roll Music, Sweet Little Sixteen, Johnny B. Goode, and No Particular Place To Go.

	Chuck Berry
		He didn't invent the genre (Bill Haley's "Rock Around The Clock" came out a year before Berry's 1955 "Maybellene"), but he showed there was more to it than just reckless abandon - spinning a series of catchy, clever youth anthems that inspired generations of rockers.
		Keith Richards put together an all-star concert for Berry's 60th birthday, and a film and soundtrack LP followed.
		The set list is predictable - "Johnny B. Goode," "Maybellene," etc. - and the band is precise, but not too exciting: Richards is inaudible on rhythm guitar.

		This demonstrates that, although near the forefront of the new musical style, Elvis certainly did not start the Rock and Roll revolution.
		Indeed, Bill Haley ("Rock Around the Clock", 1954) and Chuck Berry ("Maybellene", 1955) had already had big Rock and Roll hits.
		It was Elvis’s overtly sexual stage presence, however, that got the world talking about the Presley – not just his music.
