Jack Brown Ely (September 11, 1943 – April 28, 2015) was an American guitarist and singer, best known for singing the Kingsmen's version of "Louie Louie". Classically trained in piano, he began playing guitar after seeing Elvis Presley on television. In 1959, he co-founded the Kingsmen and with them recorded "Louie Louie" in 1963; Ely's famously incoherent vocals were partly the result of his braces and the rudimentary recording method. Before the record became a hit Ely was forced out of the group and began playing with his new band, the Courtmen
quote:
On August 16 during a band practice, Easton staged a "hostile takover",[21] telling Ely that he wanted to abandon the drums and become the frontman and singer.[22] Ely would have to become the drummer, and since the band's name was registered to Easton only, he technically led the group. Ely was not happy with this turn of events, and he and Nordby left the band at once. At the time, the song had sold roughly 600 copies and it was thought that the Kingsmen would disband.[23] When he found out "Louie Louie" was climbing up the Billboard charts, Ely attempted to rejoin the group, but was blocked by Easton who was intent on adding replacements.[24]
In a 1998 interview Ely said, "My life stopped at that moment. It was my voice. I was the one who found the song. I was the one that arranged it. It was my band. And look what happened."[25] Seeking "redemption and retribution", he formed his own "Kingsmen" group, touring as "The Original Singer of Louie Louie",[26] and also recorded "Love That Louie" in 1964 for RCA Records as Jack E. Lee and the Squires.
A legal battle ensued and a 1966 settlement resulted in Ely ceasing to call his group the Kingsmen and Wand Records being required to credit Ely as lead vocalist on all future "Louie Louie" pressings.[18] Ely received $6000 in royalties, and Easton had to stop lip-synching the song in live performances.[27] Ely also received royalties going forward for "Louie Louie" and "Haunted Castle", plus a gold record for "Louie Louie"

Miller - "Baby I Got News For You" (1965)
A year before The Troggs. Allegedly 15 yr old Peter Frampton is on guitar.

Reading the thread and listening to the tracks is a “trip” down memory lane. If this has already been mentioned, I missed it.

Cyrus Erie - "Get The Message" (1968)
This Cleveland band is best remembered for providing Eric Carmen to The Raspberries. But they should be just as celebrated for this amazing b side of their only single - the '70s power pop sound, almost 4 years before "Go All The Way".
Eric is the one with the weird hair:

Shocking Blue - "Venus" (1969)
First time I've heard them do this live. Shorn of studio production & overdubs it's a garage record, almost on the Ramones level of minimalism (aside from the solo, of course).

a great cover of Ritchie Valens' "Come On Let's Go"
The bit they do at the end is hilarious

This was the first record played on BBC Radio One when it began in 1967.
Why that honor did not go to The Beatles I have no idea.

This one should have been a hit.

I thought I'd heard of Rupert's People before. As well I should have - turns out I posted them before, on p9 (yes, TD Search worked for once; & FWIW there are some GREAT tracks linked on that page).
For you lazy assholes, here's what I wrote before:

Rupert's People
Three singles, none of which made the charts, were credited to this UK band in the late '60s, and apparently it was a different lineup on each release (the manager owned the name).
This Procol Harumish track has something of a cult following:
Rupert's People - "Reflections of Charles Brown"
I personally prefer their rockers:
Rupert's People - "Dream on my Mind"
While on this next one they do the greatest Small Faces imitation you'll ever hear:
Rupert's People - "I Can Show You"
In that last video they seem to have invented not only air guitar but air bass, air drums, and air keyboards as well
