"Maybellene" is the title of a Chuck Berry song first released in July of 1955 as a single on Chess Records of Chicago, Illinois. It was Berry's first single release, and his first hit, and is considered one of the pioneering rock and roll singles, alongside "Rock Around the Clock" and others.
The song was originally recorded by Bob Wills under the title "Ida Red" and written by Russ Frato. Berry rewrote the bluegrass staple at the suggestion of Leonard Chess and disk jockey Alan Freed was given co-writer credit as a reward for his work in promoting it.
The song peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard rock charts.
It is often misspelled as "Maybelline".
