Artist Bio:
The Kingsmen were an American rock band formed in 1959 in Portland, Oregon. They are best known for their 1963 hit single "Louie Louie," which reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song's simple and catchy melody, along with its controversial and indecipherable lyrics, helped it become a garage rock classic and an anthem of the 1960s.
The Kingsmen continued to release music throughout the 1960s and 1970s, but they were never able to replicate the success of "Louie Louie." Despite this, the band remained popular on the live music circuit and had a dedicated fan base. The Kingsmen's version of "Louie Louie" has been covered by numerous artists and is considered one of the most iconic songs in rock and roll history.
