At the height of her success, alongside such contemporaries as <strong>Lenny Bruce, Redd Foxx<\/strong> and others, she was breaking down comedic boundaries during the 1960s.<\/p>\n<p>Like LOUIE LOUIE, Rusty Warren&#8217;s success came from recordings considered naughty by the public.<\/p>\n<p>Like LOUIE LOUIE, both can credit Boston for providing a proper nurturing ground.<\/p>\n<p>LOUIE LOUIE became a national hit record in late 1963, thanks in part to Boston disc jockey <strong>Arnie Ginsburg<\/strong>, whose audience embraced the Kingsmen recording in a major way, reaching the #1 spot on the Cashbox Hit Singles chart and the #2 spot on the Billboard Hit Singles chart for a couple of weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Rusty Warren grew up in Milton, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston.<\/p>\n<p>Rusty&#8217;s first records were released by Jubilee Records, with such album titles as &#8220;Songs for Sinners&#8221; (1959), &#8220;Knockers Up!&#8221;(1960), &#8220;Sin-sational&#8221; (1961), &#8220;Rusty Warren Bounces Back&#8221; (1961), &#8220;Rusty Warren in Orbit&#8221; (1962) and &#8220;Banned in Boston?&#8221; (1963). Known as the &#8220;Knockers Up Gal&#8221;, she has frequently been called the &#8220;mother of the sexual revolution&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>To say she was part of a beautiful movement would be a serious understatement.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Rusty Warren - KNOCKERS UP!
