727Sky - The Kingsmen were the most successful and influential rock and roll band Oregon has ever produced. The band’s recording of "Louie Louie" was a nationwide hit in late '63 into 1964, and it has remained one of the most popular rock songs of all time. Not sure if held #1 multiple times, but was definitely in the top 3 for years. As you probably know that song has quite a backstory involving the FBI.
