The Kingsmen say goodbye to their lead singer, Jack Ely, who has died at the age of 71. Apparently he had been ill for some time. “Louie Louie” was their biggest hit, not only on the radio, but in movies like Animal House and even TV commercials. Thank you Mr Ely for adding to America’s music culture~
Here’s a link to a story on his career highlights and passing:
