Harry P. Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 No, not the revolutionary war Paul Revere. He's been dead for a while. The Paul Revere of Paul Revere and the Raiders. Dead at 76 of cancer.
Greg Myers Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Put me down for " Just Like Me" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjBG7Ze7CqY and http://www.paulrevereandtheraiders.com/
Harry P. Posted October 6, 2014 Author Posted October 6, 2014 This has always been my favorite Raiders song:
Ramfins59 Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Yeah, they were a favorite band of mine "way back when". I agree with Harry about the tune KICKS.
Harry P. Posted October 6, 2014 Author Posted October 6, 2014 But that Raider's Coach has always been ugly, IMO!
mnwildpunk Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Ok I'm a younger guy I know the name what was their big hit
Harry P. Posted October 6, 2014 Author Posted October 6, 2014 Ok I'm a younger guy I know the name what was their big hit They had several big hits. Just Like Me, Hungry, Indian Reservation, Kicks, Good Thing.
chunkypeanutbutter Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Cherokee people!! Cherokee tribe!!!!
Joe Handley Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 I think he had been performing in Branson, MO for a number of years now too at the theater where Dick Clark had his restaurant and the all 1957 car's museum had been across the street from Dolly Pardon's Dixie Stampede dinner theater.
Thatswhatshesaid Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Glad I read the thread. I just thought Harry might be behind on reading the newspaper.
Lunajammer Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 This is easily my favorite. When I was kid I got chills listening to this awesome retro song and may have influenced my love of horn bands. They weren't a horn band, but this song was. REALLY dated. A time capsule.
MrObsessive Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 I can distinctly remember a babysitter I had at the time this song was out (1966?) playing it over, and over and over again! Good song though!
Ace-Garageguy Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 (edited) Slightly off topic...does the Raiders Coach kit have that interesting mix of tires? PS. Played all the clips up above. Man, that takes me back. Wow. Really wanna go dance the Jerk with some go-go girls now. Edited October 6, 2014 by Ace-Garageguy
landman Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 THIS is the ultimate Raiders' Coach: http://www.woodworkingtalk.com/f13/build-thread-raiders-coach-54632/I'm sorry to hear this. I too listened to them back when my Mustang was new. I still have the albums.
MsDano85gt Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 another Great! that will be missed thats too bad! Good thing his legacy will live on thru my record player......
espo Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 They were one of the top groups of all time. I got to see the at the Dick Clark theater a few years ago. They were there with the Righteous Brothers, what a night that was.
