Havana Mon is an unappreciated Chuck Berry recording, one said to have influenced the writers to create: 'Louie Louie'
I once met Richard Berry, who wrote and reccorded "Louie, Louie" in 1957. He said that "Havana Moon" was a major influence, as was El Loco by Rene Touzet. By the way, there was a piano in the room, and he sat down and performed "Louie, Louie" for us.
