The Beach Boys's hit song "Surfin' USA" was originally credited as simply a Brian Wilson composition. He did write the lyrics, but the melody was taken straight from Chuck Berry's single 1958 "Sweet Little Sixteen" for which Berry was later given credit. Still at the height of his popularity, 1958 met with another one of Berry's iconic singles "Rock and Roll Music" and his second full length album One Dozen Berrys.
The second second album in a row. What a roll!
Here is the discography surrounding Chuck Berry's second album:
Oh Baby Doll (1957 single)
