Released in 1961, Wanda Jackson crowned herself the Queen Of Rockabilly on ‘There’s A Party Goin’ On.’
He wasn’t an instant Top 10 UK artist, but this 1959 single was an important step on that road.
Richard’s version of the Leiber & Stoller song added his own segment and moved The Beatles to cover it live and then on ‘Beatles For Sale.’
The song became Chuck Berry’s 12th record to make the Billboard R&B chart and was a hugely influential song for British bands like The Rolling Stones.
