    Long before rock and roll became famous for wild lead singers, Tacoma had “Rockin’ Robin” Roberts. Among his many achievements in his short life was the “discovery” of Richard Berry’s calypso tune, “Louie, Louie”, on a jukebox in a bar on Pacific Avenue and transforming it into the ultimate rock anthem known around the world. After his untimely death, he was buried in Tacoma. Photo courtesy of UPS Trail, October 30, 1963.
