Paul Revere, leader of the good old ‘70s rock ’n’ roll band Paul Revere and the Raiders, died last weekend.
Wow. I remember the Raiders’ wacky Colonial outfits with the three-cornered hats, and their smiling faces. We used to groove along with them on the TV show “Where the Action Is.”
Their music was uplifting and had a great beat; it boosted your mood and made you tap your feet.
And I still remember the lyrics to their biggest hits… Have been singing “Kicks,” “Hungry” and “Good Thing” for days since I read the sad news.
It’s distressing to see a generation of legendary rock stars reach their late 70s and start to pass away, although a lot of the great ones – like Paul Revere – loved performing and continued til the end of their lives.
The music men may be gone, but their songs – and the youthful “feel-good” memories they evoke — live on.
Oh I didn’t know he passed. His music was very uplifting. I remember the 70’s as if it were last year! Yikes…time passes way to quickly. Thanks for the memories and I pray for soul to rest in peace.
