Early rock and roll was the ‘white-ification’ of rhythm and blues. Having the blues is not ‘winning.’

Well, we'll just have to disagree. IMO, Maybelline is a classic example of Chuck Berry's winning spirit. He takes an old blues trope (why can't you be true), and turns it into an action-packed road race that he assures us at the start he is going to win, and does.

Nice chattin' with ya.
