i wonder how many people realize that the KINGSAMEN'S debut lp waws on the usa charts for 102 weeks....quite an accomplishment for any band, let alone one with a monster hit as 'louie,louie'.
lengthy stays on the charts is common plae as dark side of the moon has been on the chrts for almost 11 decades, sop it would seem.
anyway, the first album by the KINGSMEN was actually recorded lie/in person... at a club in oregon. only 'louie,ouie' was the albums only song NOT recorded 'live.
plus the kingsmen received a gold record for the album...
the gold record was presented to the band in 1965 by angie dickinson, later married to burtbacharach, who wrote songs for kingsmen fellow scepter/wand artist: dionne warwick.....
check it out...
an $85.00 recording investment,produces a gold album on the charts for 2 years....
pretty wild for the times....
thanks for listening...
