1/2 1972 Fick Chuck Berry sin första brittiska singeletta med en liveversion av ”My Ding-A-Ling”, en låt han spelat i 20 år. Storbritanniens allmänna moral förkämpe Mary Whitehouse försökte få låten bannlyst.
12/23/1959 Chuck Berry was arrested after taking 14-year-old Janice Norine (who, unbeknownst to him, was working as a prostitute) across the state line. Berry was sentenced to five years in prison, but after the appeal and racist comments from the jury, he was fully acquitted.
