On this Day in Rock and Roll History - May 21 1955 Chuck Berry recorded "Maybellene", which would become his first hit record, reaching #5 on the Billboard Top 100 and #1 on the R&B chart. By the end of the year, it had sold over one million copies. In the heyday of Pat Boone, Frank Sinatra, Perry Como and The McGuire Sisters, it was one of the few Rock 'n' Roll songs to get any radio air play that year. | Johnny Rock and Roll Radio
