The Beatles cover song, “Twist and Shout” was released with "There’s a
Place" as its B-side, by Chicago–based Vee-Jay Records on the Tollie label,
it reached number 2 on April 4, 1964, during the week that the top five spots
on the chart were all Beatles singles (in the Cashbox singles chart for the
same week, "Twist and Shout" was No. 1). In the U.S., "Twist and Shout"
was the only million-selling Beatles single that was a cover record, and
the only Beatles cover single to reach the Top 10 on a national record
chart. The song failed to hit #1 because the Beatles had another song
occupying the top spot, "Can’t Buy Me Love".

The song "School Days" (also known as "School Day (Ring! Ring! Goes
the Bell)") was  written and recorded by Chuck Berry, released by the
Chess record label as a single and released on the LP After School
Session two months later. It is one of his best known songs and is
often considered a rock and roll anthem.

 
Charles Edward Anderson "Chuck" Berry turned 89 on October 18.
