He wrote the song after listening to Frank Sinatras One for My Baby (and One More for the Road) and Chuck Berrys Havana Moon. The riff he borrowed from El Loco Cha Cha by Rene Touzet. His performance of the ditty with The Pharaohs was a modest success on the West Coast but it did not chart. Richard Berry then sold the publishing and songwriting rights to his record company for $ 750, - and only began to get paid properly when his brainchild was used in the Eighties in a soda commercial. Richard Berry died on January 23, 1997. At the moment Louie Louie is the most covered pop song of all time.
