Comment:
They shared the airwaves, the stages, the marquees — and, sometimes, even the songs. Buddy Holly, for instance, covered Chuck's "Brown Eyed Handsome Man," but it's the stut-a-stut-a-stutter of Holly's hiccup hit "Rave On" that still proves irresistible 50-plus years later. It may just be a myth that Jerry Lee Lewis once set his piano on fire to upstage Berry in concert, but he [i]absolutely[/i] ignites a four-alarm blaze with "High School Confidential." (Incidentally, the song's also the title-track to a teenage-hoodlums-at-play flick that features Lewis pumping and pounding his piano on back of a flatbed truck.) And, hey, Bo Diddley digs into his hoodoo-voodoo mojo bag to cast a spell over anybody within speaker range in his incantation to infatuation, "Who Do You Love?" From Little Richard to Little Walter, from Wanda Jackson to Elvis Presley, we've got all the legends — and lesser-knowns — who, along with Chuck, carved their names into the very face of rock.
