Here’s a little description of the book from the man himself:<\/p>\n
Forty years ago, as a member of The Kingsmen, I lived through, or perhaps I should say \u201csurvived\u201d, the original pandemonium that surrounded the song. Back then, following an extensive FBI investigation personally directed by J. Edgar Hoover, a federal judge found that our version of the song was \u201cunintelligible at any speed.\u201d His declaration gave the youth of America the nebulosity necessary for the growth of the rumors and accusations that helped create the legend of \u201cLouie Louie\u201d.<\/p>\n
Herein the humorous, sometimes unbelievable, details of what really happened to The Kingsmen and \u201cLouie Louie\u201d are revealed for the first time. The never-ending controversy that lies at the heart of this tale is more than just once-upon-a-time history; the legend, the mystery, the wonder of \u201cLouie Louie\u201d live on today.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
