Berry’s version was also available on his fourth Chess album, “Rockin’ At The Hops”, released in 1960. It was the opening song for side two.

In the UK, it was one of the songs included on “Chuck Berry” (Pye GGL 0352), an album released in 1962, so maybe that was their source for Berry’s version of the song.

I didn’t know about the history of this, but I’ll amend the article. It’s normally credited to Chuck Berry (including on Live At The BBC), so my guess is not many people know that Clayton wrote it.

It was later recorded by B. B. King (RPM, 1952), Little Walter (Checker, 1954) and Chuck Berry (Chess, 1960), among others.

The same rhythm and the beats on the compasses!

Chuck rewrote a Little Walter song of the same name. http://youtu.be/zT6Z8j8wRX0

The flip side of the original single has a great slide guitar instrumental called “Mad Lad”. Check it out. The story goes that Berry used a Zippo lighter for a slide…

I’ll leave the line-up as it is.
