Louie was written by R&B singer Richard Berry in 1955. R&B singer Richard Berry wrote it in 1955. "The Pharaohs," His band, "The Pharaohs," was recorded and released in 1957. It got some airplay on the band's home turf around San Francisco, and it became very popular in the pacific northwest.. It was covered by other garage bands and became a somewhat common party tune in the western states.
The Kingsmen's recording was the subject of an FBI probe into the possible, but nonexistent, obscenity of the lyrics. The probe ended without charge.. In Berry's first album, the lyrics are quite straightforward: It's a song about a sailor who spends three days in Jamaica to see his girl. Louie, a bartender, is told the tale. In the original version, there was nothing even remotely offensive.
