The Kingsmen are a 1959s garage rock band from Portland, Oregon. They are best known for their 1963 recording of Richard Berry's "Louie, Louie", which held the #2 spot on the Billboard charts for six weeks. The single has become an enduring classic , NEXT
The Kingsmen formed in Portland, Oregon in 1959. As young teenagers, they played high school parties, teen dances, supermarket openings, and fashion shows. Like many fledgling bands of the day, they copied what they heard on the radio: Elvis, The Ventures, Country music, R&B, and the burgeoning Northwest Sound. They became one of the most popular bands in the Portland area,NEXT - The Kingsmen
Rock 'n' roll frightened adults in the early '60s, and "Louie Louie" became especially suspect because The Kingsmen's recording was mumbly (some say because singer Jack Ely didn't know all the words and other because of his position at the mic during the recording), and virtually indecipherable to parents' non-rock ears. Rumors of obscene lyrics and crumpled notes passed between teenagers professing to contain the 'real lyrics' fueled a public controversy around the Richard Berry penned song. This all served, of couse, to make the song more popular than ever!- NEXT
