Chuck Berry's worst recording was his biggest hit. Here's the original version, which I like a lot better:
Toy Bell--The Bees (1954)
And that demands an answer!
The Real Thing--The Spiders (1954)
Nice find on those old 45s! Up to now, I always thought the 1972 "My Ding-A-Ling" was an original. And yes, I agree that this was Chuck Berry's "worst" song, although it ended up being his biggest hit.
I used to have quite the collection of 45 singles and 33 LPs but I stupidly got rid of most of them when the compact disc came along.
