The One Music Book Club: Louie Louie by Dave Marsh

On April 6, 1963, the greatest garage rock song in the history of the universe was recorded. Things began slow but eventually things exploded, reaching all the way to the FBI. Yes, the law enforcement agency.

The story of “Louie Louie” is so wild, that Dave Marsh wrote an entire book about just this one song. (I meant to publish this yesterday, but I had some technical issues.)
