Happy Thursday!
Today is…
Louie, Louie Day
International Louie Louie Day celebrates “Louie Louie,” one of the most recorded songs in rock and roll history. It takes place on the birthday of Richard Berry, the writer of the song, who was born on the date in 1935. Many other important events surrounding the song took place in April as well, making it fitting the song is celebrated when it is.
Richard Berry wrote the song in 1955 and released it in April 1957 on Flip Records, under the name Richard Berry and the Pharoahs. The song was influenced by the rhythms of Cuban composer René Touzet’s “El Loco Cha Cha,” which itself was based on another Cuban song. It also was influenced by the rise in popularity of calypso music in the United States at the time. The storyline was inspired by Chuck Berry’s “Havana Moon” and Johnny Mercer’s “One For My Baby (And One More For The Road).”
Celebrate the day by listening to the song! Request it from radio stations and let them know about the day if they are unaware of it.
