Remember the guy who put the bop in the bop shoo wop ba dop? You know, he also put the dit in the dit dit dit dit dit. Well, he's dead. He died of lung cancer; he was a heavy smoker. After his megahit in the 60s, he was investigated by the FBI, (who were also investigating Louie Louie at the time) declared a communist and was run out of town. He also recorded an X-rated single in Holland as the guy who put the thunk thadunk in her dunka dunk. After a few years, he arrived back in the States, but went into hiding again when he was threatened by the Mafia for his use of the word 'wop' in the song. Eventually he was redeemed by being entered into the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame.
