In the early 50s the dominant instruments in the genre were the saxophone and the piano. Chuck's topical lyrics, combined with his legendary guitar riffs, set the model for the rock and roll style of the 60s. Virtually every guitar playing rock artist that came after him was influenced greatly by his style, as rock and roll became a guitar dominated genre by the mid-60s, and has stayed that way ever since. Chuck exploded on to the scene in the summer of 1955 with his debut single, a song called "Maybellene" (originally called Ida Red) that shot right to the top of the R&B charts, staying at # 1 for ELEVEN weeks in the summer and fall of that year. He went on to release several of the greatest rock and roll classics of all time over the next 5 years or so, before doing a stretch in prison in the early 60s for a violation of the Mann Act.
