“”C.C. Rider” hit #1 on the R&B charts in 1957 and it started the dance craze,”The Stroll”. However, Chuck did not write the song. It’s an old blues standard first recorded by Ma Rainey in 1925 under the title, “See See Rider Blues”. “Rider” is supposed to be slang for prostitute and in the lyric “you made me love you, now your man done come” “your man” refers to the woman’s pimp. So, instead of being directed to a person named “C.C.”, the song is really an admonition to an anonymous prostitute to giver up her evil ways. ”
