Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

Music Deaths: Mike Mitchell of the Kingsmen. Played on 'Louie, Louie'

MIKE MITCHELL, 77

Died 16 April 2021

Guitarist and founding member of the Kinsmen who had the hit "Louie, Louie" in 1963.

Lead guitarist.  The band came together in 1959 and were already good friends.  Supposedly obscene lyrics made the appeal of "Louie, Louie" even better.  Regardless, one of the great garage/frat rock groups of all time.  

Passed away on his birthday.

Right Bluto?
