"Maybellene" was recorded on May 21, 1955 and is referred to as the
birth of rock 'n' roll history. Berry took an old Western swing-style
song, gave it an extra kick with his signature electric guitar licks,
and renamed it Maybellene. Berry's guitar style influenced an entire
genre of musicians and the song had a tremendous social and cultural
bearing in the transitional environment of the 1950's.
