well, there are many who did Louie Louie including Iggy Pop.. but Louie Louie was first done by The Kingsmen.. and believe it or not, they sound like they were drunk and garbled in the song..
which resulted in a hugeass investigation by the FBI over if the song was obscene..
as for Starry Starry Night, it was done by Don McLean.. i think Josh Grobin is a hack who overdoes his songs the same way Michael Bolton does...
