Robin Roberts and the Wailers of Seattle revived and recorded it in 1961, but they didn't make it a hit either.

Interesting tid-bit for you, Louie Louie never lost it's popularity on the west coast, in fact we tried to make it our state song in Washington in the mid 80's! To most of us growing up here, we always took it as our unofficial state song. and i found out out state motto for the first time today: Alki - By and by. Not the greatest, but we have a good unofficial song!
