More on My Ding-a-Ling
Description from Wikipedia:
"My Ding-a-Ling" was a 1972 novelty hit record for Chuck Berry, and his only U.S. number-one single on the pop charts.
The song (entitled "Little Girl Sing Ding-a-Ling") was recorded by Dave Bartholomew in 1952. In 1954, The Bees released a version entitled "Toy Bell." Berry recorded a version called "My Tambourine" in 1958, but the version which topped the charts was recorded live during the Lanchester Arts Festival at the Locarno ballroom in Coventry, England, on 3 February 1972, where Berry - backed by The Roy Young Band - topped a bill that also included Slade and Billy Preston. Legendary Radio personality from the Boston radio station WMEX, Jim Connors , is credited with a Gold record for discovering the song and pushing it to #1 over the airwaves and amongst his peers in the United States.
