What was the dispute between chuck berry and beach boys?

Chuck Berry sued The Beach Boys for copyright infringement in 1964, alleging that their hit song "Surfin' U.S.A." had plagiarized his 1958 hit "Sweet Little Sixteen." The case was settled out of court, with The Beach Boys paying Berry an undisclosed amount of money and agreeing to give him credit as the co-writer of "Surfin' U.S.A."
