I jammed with Billy Davis who played at Chess — and also played with Jimi Hendrix, co-wrote the Twist, and played on Higher and Higher with Jackie Wilson.
Chuck’s lyrics always told a great story.. for instance, “Memphis Tennessee”
In the song the narrator is speaking to a long-distance operator, trying to find out the number of a girl named Marie, who lives in Memphis, Tennessee “on the southside, high upon a ridge, just a half a mile from the Mississippi bridge.” The narrator offers little information to the operator at first, only that he misses Marie and that they were separated by Marie’s mother. The final verse reveals that Marie is, in fact, the narrator’s six-year-old daughter; her mother, presumably the narrator’s ex-wife, left their home and took Marie with her. wiki

Is it wrong that “My Ding-a-Ling” isn’t on the playlist?

Thank you, Guy. I know Chuck was 90, but I still cried when I learned he was gone.
