If the name doesn't ring a bell, you've most likely heard his biggest hit "Hippy Hippy Shake". Chan Romero released this single originally in 1959 on the Del-Fi record label. Chan had a similar style to Ritchie Valens who also recorded for Del-Fi but was tragically killed in that plane crash in February of '59 along with Buddy Holly and The Big Bopper. "Hippy Hippy Shake" has long been a favorite of Paul McCartney as The Beatles used to perform this one live during their early Cavern Club days and he still periodically works it in to his set these days as well. It's also appeared in such movies as Uncle Buck, Austin Powers: International Man Of Mystery and others. The Georgia Satellites also covered it on the Cocktail soundtrack in 1988.
