(cont) the The Target Ballroom in Burien, Washington. That got their attention and they started talking to us holding up the line. I asked them why they never played Death of an Angel anymore and they said when it came out on radio a few girls killed themselves so it was banned from radio and they never played it again! When it was taken off the air KJR and KOL Radio disc announcing the same thing but never expected it to have effected the band so much and they would never play it again! :(

Oddly, this song was a fairly sized hit on the R and B charts, but didn't touch the Hot 100. The Kingsmen occupy a weird spot in rock history. "Louie Louie" was a hit in 1963, but to me, at least, it doesn't SOUND like 1963. It sounds like 1966. It sounds like the Barbarians and the The Count Five and the Syndicate of Sounde, etc, it sounds like American kids trying to ape the Brit Invasion....but "Louie" predates the Brit onslaught....

@sonnych69 That's the one I've been looking for!. When it came time to say, it was the death of an angel, there was deep moaning and the sounds of someone dying. Lots of sound effects in the one I've been looking for. Same song, different sound.

Well, it was the song I was looking for but not by the Kingsmen. The Death of an Angel was a New Orleans hit, sung by a New Orleans' singer, played by New Orleans Musicians. Big difference.
