To those not familiar with the name, Chuck Willis can best be remembered by his music including C. C. Rider. Born in Atlanta, the singer/songwriter recorded My Story when he was 22. It went on to rise to #2 in the "black charts". Willis was very popular in Sweet Auburn and became known as the "King of Stroll". In 1956 he again hit it big with It's Too Late, following it up with C. C. Rider. The ironically titled What am I Living For and Hang Up your Rock and Roll Shoes became hits after his death in 1958.
