Early rock and roll musician who combined St. Louis blues with rock and roll. Despite his immense popularity, he did not have a #1 hit until his controversial My Ding-A-Ling. He has influenced and been covered by many musicians. His Sweet Little Sixteen mentions the "Frisco Bay", using a deprecated nickname for San Francisco. The same tune was used in The Beach Boys hit Surfin' U.S.A. This caused controversy. Bye Bye Johnny was a sequel to his hit Johnny B. Goode. His hit Brown Eyed Handsome Man is autobiographical.
