The Beatles biggest influence

If you read about the early days of the Beatles, you discover that during their early days as The Quarrymen they called themselves a "Skiffle" group.  Those young, soon to be Beatles were heavily influenced by Britain's King of Skiffle, Lonnie Donegan.  It's not hard to understand.... Lonnie had 31 hits in England in the 50's and 60's.  He also had three hits in the USA, a tough feat for a British performer in those days.  His biggest hit here went to #5 in America in 1958, "Does Your Chewing Gum Lose It's Flavor on the Bedpost Overnight."  It's today's forgotten oldie.
