SHINDIG! - Sixties Superstars - part 4of6====================================1) The Kingsmen - "Louie, Louie" 2) Sir Douglas Quintet - "She's About a Mover"3) Roy Head - "Treat Her Right"4) Olympics - "Good Lovin'"=====================================Shindig! was a rock 'n' roll series that ran from September 16, 1964 through January 8, 1966 on the ABC network.Shindig! was created and produced by Jack Good who had previously produced rock 'n' roll TV shows in his native Britain. There, he perfected his style of fast-paced rock music programing. In 1962, Good produced a pilot for American TV. The pilot, titled "Young America Swings the World," eventually became the blueprint for Shindig! Most of the top American and British rock/pop acts of the mid-1960s appeared on Shindig!. The British performers often appeared in segments taped in the U.K.Shindig! was different from previous U.S. rock 'n' roll programs. It featured non-stop music that, in most cases, was only interrupted by the commercial breaks.Shindig! started a trend in television which could probably best be described as "rock 'n' roll...with go-go dancers."

Jul 7, 2008 - Just goes to show that the Kingsmen were singing the exact lyrics of the Richard Berry R&B classic "Louie Louie". Dirty lyrics? Hardly. I have the Kingsmen's live album version from late 1963 (Wand Records, NYC), and I feel it was due to poor acoustics and poor audio engineering in that nightclub that made it sound like the lead vocalist was singing the "f" word, and also "lay her again". Some imagination, huh?

Aerick69 Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - ..not only is 'Good Lovin' a cover, but if you look closely, BILLY PRESTON is the keyboardist....

Jul 7, 2008 - thanks so much for posting this...the 60's seemed like so much fun...i've long suspected this...this proves it!
ForeverYoung58 Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - Actually there was some "profanity" on the Kingsmen's recording of Louie Louie. The drummer allegedly misplayed something, and you can hear someone blurting out a one syllable word in the background. Supposedly, it was the drummer yelling "f**k!"

Jul 7, 2008 - re: Louie Louie - Great documentation as to the lyrics of this song. The FBI actually investigated the lyrics thinking there were overt sex or drug references. Guess things haven't changes that much...

Jul 7, 2008 - WOW! I love the sixties, even though my parents wan`t born at that time. Great music!!
doctordoowop Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - THE late Richard Berry who wrote & sang this with his group(1957) told me he was called inby the FBI to tell them the lyrics. The Kingsmen's lyrics were declared "incomprehensible at any speed."
rudakai Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - Doug Sahm and Freddie of the Dreamers could have easily subbed for each other!! I agree with Chippy.............Sahm was exceedingly overrated!!
larrydh2 Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - C'mon folks, Doug was a great singer and guitar picker. Listen to Mendocino, it's great. PS. he is dead now so give him a break.
pkappel006 Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - what did he die of? and when?
titostacos Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - in this clip doug sahm is playing an incredibly catchy bluesy sexy Texy Mexy song with an iconic keyboard riff courtesy of augie meyers, a killer vocal, his band has a maracas player like Bo Diddley, and his showmanship is superb. now just what the hell don't you get, chippy783? Jerry Wexler got it, but you probably don't know who he is.

Jul 7, 2008 - We had the Kingmen play at our school in the 60's and they were fabulous.They were a great band
nyrainbow Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - In the '60s people were so lucky to have so many wonderful TV shows - "Shindig", "Hullabaloo", "Hollywood A Go-Go", "Shivaree" and others...The best music was created in the 50s and 60s :)
