Alan. you need to link Chuck Berry to another artist. Good point. CHUCK BERRY was semi/sorta covered by THE BEACH BOYS, on their hit, "Surfin' USA".   (Yeah. I always wondered how they got away with that. George Harrison had to pay royalties for "covering" 'He's So Fine') -- and speaking of covers ... The Beach Boys covered 'Do You Wanna Dance' originally done by BOBBY FREEMAN |

OK .. here's a stretch. The girl's name Tiffany comes from the NY store of the same name. This was featured in a book and then a movie called "Breakfast at Tiffany's. The theme song from the move was "Moon River" which in 1961 was a #11 hit for Jerry Butler. (Whew!) ;D |
