Name That Tune

We'll name some names with songs about "Corina" and "Mona Lisa" from artists like Bo Diddley and Fats Waller.  Our guest is a 22-year-old blueswoman who's out to make a name for herself, Shemekia Copeland.  Chuck Berry's pianist Johnnie Johnson will take us behind the scenes for the making of their first hit "Maybellene."  And we'll step up to the bar to meet a Baltimore man who legally changed his name to American Joe.  Plus the legend of outlaw Staggerlee.
