1957

C. C. RIDER * CHUCK WILLIS * ATLANTIC 1130 * USA

Chuck Willis toped the R&B charts with this record; and, because of its beat, it was linked to the latest fad dance: The Stroll. In consequence Chuck Willis was named 'The King of the Stroll', the type of ephemeral epithet that can be more of an hindrance than an asset in the fickle world of the record buying public.
