Short story:
Maybellene by Chuck Berry peaks at No5 on the Billboard Top 40 Singles Chart in the USA. On the same day, I Hear You Knockin' by Smiley Lewis enters the Billboard R'n'B singles chart. Meanwhile, over in London, rock'n'roll fan Sidney Turner is fined £3 10s for 'creating an abominable noise' by blasting out Bill Haley's Shake Rattle And Roll, much to the annoyance of his neighbours, for two and a half hours during an otherwise quiet afternoon.
