[email protected] July Fourth, 1993. Richard Berry, the writer of “Louie Louie”, headlines the Waterfront Blues Festival. While Berry was in town, the Oregon Historical Society honored him and members of the Kingsmen with the installation of a plaque at 411 S.W. 13th Ave, the original location of Northwestern recording stu- dios, where the Kingsmen’s epic hit “Louie Louie” was recorded on April 13, 1963. Berry wrote “Louie Louie” in 1955 in Los Angeles and recorded it with the Pharoahs as a calypso-tinged R&B number. In 1960, Seattle’s Rockin’ Robin Roberts covered it with the Wailers. The Kingsmen heard the Wailers version on a jukebox and decided to record it themselves. Paul Re- vere & The Raiders recorded “Louie Louie” at North- western the day after, for Columbia Records.
