Is it really? Hummhh... that said allot of Tyrone’s records were all derivative from “change my mind” in the first place.. I think I’m actually starting to loose my listening marbles sometimes...

Yes same song and composer's credit.

Richard Berry borrowed the intro of this and used it for "Louie, Louie" -

Interesting theory but I had heard it was taken from this; René Touzet's version sounds much more like the Kingsmen's version of the riff - incredibly like it:

Actually, it's not a theory at all, in the 1st chapter (maybe even  on the 1st page) of the book "Louie, Louie", Richard Berry admits 

to using the opening riff of "El Loco Cha Cha" for "Louie, Louie". I'll admit that the lyrics of "Havana Moon" probably also 

influenced Richard also.

I bow to your superior knowledge; and the lyrical delivery clearly owes something to Chuck Berry. I'd bet the Kingsmen must of heard that as well, theirs sounds much more like it.
