Don Wilson, the band’s other founder, told The News Tribune of Tacoma that Mr. Bogle had become ill over the weekend.
The Ventures sold millions of albums and heavily influenced other rock guitarists. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2008. The hall’s Web site hailed The Ventures as “the most successful instrumental combo in rock and roll history.”"

That was good to hear again. I used to have the album shown at the end of the video, with the girl in the toreador pants. I also had the 45 of the song, of course.
I loved The Ventures, though I still prefer Dick Dale and the Del Tones, probably because they were local to SoCal and I saw - and danced to - them many times.
