Thanks for sharing the website.

When I was born, "Stagger Lee" by Lloyd Price was #1 in the USA - the first Rock 'n' Roll record to hit #1 despite being censored.

There were two versions of this song, based on the traditional blues/folk song, "Ballad of Stack-o-Lee." The first had Stagger Lee and Billy gambling (Stagger Lee shot Billy at the end), the second, rushed out by ABC-Paramount after hearing complaints from radio listeners, had Stagger Lee and Billy arguing over a girlfriend, who goes back to Stagger at the end.
