In course of my research for this project, I’ve uncovered some interesting things connected to the LOUIE LOUIE universe.<\/p>\n

Here’s an example of one of those things. This is a page of short record reviews in the December 1, 1962 issue of Cash Box<\/strong> magazine – one year before the Kingsmen<\/strong> transformed Richard Berry<\/strong>‘s LOUIE LOUIE into a chart-topping hit record. <\/p>\n

Right in the middle of this page, there’s some reviews of records by Richard and his wife, Dorothy Berry<\/strong>, side-by-side, which I’d never seen before in any music publication.<\/p>\n

As the story goes, Richard sold most of his rights to the song LOUIE LOUIE to pay for his wedding to Dorothy. They married in early 1957, Dorothy became a recording artist in 1961, and the rest is … history…..<\/p>\n

Anyways, here’s a little close-up of their record reviews.<\/p>\n
