Re: The Checkmates - Black Pearl - My Tribute

I was really Sorry to hear about Louie...Since 1964 the Checkmates were the only reason for me to go to Las Vegas. Great Music & Shows. I have spent many nights front & center at Ceasers and all over Vegas for their sets. The Tribute is great but Black Pearl is really Sonnys song. Here is one of Louies.

I only found out today of Louie's passing. I have a nickname from him "La Fong". Many a fun night was spent in the company of the Checkmates in Las Vegas. I am really glad he had Linda the last few years of his life! I will forever truly miss "Sweet Louie"!!

Thank you so much for adding this video, showing some of Sweet Louie's wacky personality. He was a great entertainer, and sweet man, and a real humanitarian. I will always remember all the years, I will miss him.
