Torrent description

The song "Louie, Louie", first recorded 50 years ago this summer, and as one critic put it, with "a simplistic riff played over the standard three-chord rock & roll format," and "so basic that its musical contents could be taught to a reasonably energetic cretin," the song has a legitimate claim to being the most famous American rock-n-roll song of all time.

Its stranger-than-fiction story is the subject of Steve Van Zandt's BBC Radio 2 documentary broadcast in June, 2007. Along the way you find out how a black musician's doo-wap recording of 1957 about love and loss and sold for a couple of hundred dollars to buy a wedding ring turned into a teenage anthem whose lyrics were supposedly so dirty that they attracted the attention of worried parents and the FBI.
