History | Ancient History on Instagram: "The song “Louie Louie” was written in 1955 by Richard Berry, a rhythm and blues musician in Los Angeles, who was inspired by the Caribbean calypso and R&B styles that were popular in the postwar music scene; Berry crafted the song as a narrative about a sailor returning home to see his love, using a simple three-chord progression and catchy, repetitive melody that made it easy to sing along to and adaptable for different interpretations.
