A music legend that is a drummer and a member of The Kingsmen since 1963. The group best known for the hit, Louie Louie.

We begin the show learning about when Dick started playing for the drums and how he was in the right place at the right time to join the group, The Kingsmen in 1963. He gives the background of how the group started touring and Louie Louie being banned!

He tells us what the music scene was like in Portland, OR in the sixties that had groups such as The Wailers, Paul Revere & Raiders, and others. Richard Barry wrote Louie Louie, recorded it and wrote the song and sold all his rights for $750! Dick gives story how he changed the music industry where record companies must pay their royalties in four year or lose it. 

The number of times he has played the hit song which was named the worst record at one time. Are the FBI the reason the song stayed alive? What is the longest time the song has been played consecutively? Dick explains going from high school to buying a Ferrari due to this pandemonium. What are the lyrics!?

How it became the official state song in Washington and played at all Seattle Mariners home games during the 7th inning stretch. 

Book- “Louie Louie, Me Gotta Go Now” (see show notes). The other songs The Kingsmen have recorded charted in Billboard. He tells us about Mike Mitchell whose guitar break you hear at beginning of the song. 

Wolfman Jack, his legacy, and songwriting wraps this fantastic episode up.
