“‘Baby, Please Don’t Go’ is a traditional blues song that was popularized by Delta blues musician Big Joe Williams in 1935. … After World War II, Chicago blues and rhythm and blues artists adapted the song to newer music styles. In 1952, a doo-wop version by the Orioles reached the top ten on the R&B chart. In 1953, Muddy Waters recorded the song as an electric Chicago-ensemble blues piece, which influenced many subsequent renditions. By the early 1950s, the song became a blues standard. In the 1960s, ‘Baby, Please Don’t Go’ became a popular rock song after the Northern Irish group Them recorded it in 1964. Jimmy Page, a studio guitarist at the time, participated in the recording session, possibly on rhythm guitar. …” W – Baby, Please Don’t Go

“‘Louie Louie’ is a rhythm and blues song written and composed by American musician Richard Berry in 1955, recorded in 1956, and released in 1957. It is best known for the 1963 hit version by the Kingsmen and has become a standard in pop and rock. The song is based on the tune ‘El Loco Cha Cha’ popularized by bandleader René Touzet and is an example of Afro-Cuban influence on American popular music. ‘Louie Louie’ tells, in simple verse–chorus form, the first-person story of a ‘lovesick sailor’s lament to a bartender about wanting to get back home to his girl’. … On 6 April 1963, the Kingsmen, a rock and roll group from Portland, Oregon, chose ‘Louie Louie’ for their second recording, their first having been ‘Peter Gunn Rock’. …” W – Louie Louie
