I'm a bit freaked out over today's edition of 1st album/1st song
Paul Revere and the Raiders hit the U.S. national charts back in 1965. Dressed in Revolutionary War garb in addition to their name, this band seemed to be on a mission to confront the British Invasion of music ( The Beatles etc.) and win the day for American garage band rock. And a mighty battle Paul Revere and his crew did fight with 10 Top 20 songs between 1965 and 1969. The two highest charting hits during this period were
Kicks-Paul Revere and the Raiders
Good Thing- Paul Revere and the Raiders
And just when you thought their musket was empty, they came up with a surprise #1 song in 1971. This time they enlisted the aid of the American Indian Nation to ensure the British stayed on their side of the ocean
Indian Reservation- Paul Revere and the Raiders
But now I have discovered that the history of this group goes further back than I ever knew. They actually formed back in 1958 and their first album was released in 1961
Now here is the 1st Song from that First Album: Like,Long Hair by Paul Revere and the Raiders
But then I discover another song on that first album. A song titled Groovey
Wait a minute!! It's 1961 and they are singing about Long Hairs and Grooviness. And they are all dressed up to fight off the British Invasion. Can it be that somehow they were able to peer into the near future to see future trends for their own musical inspiration? Or, was Paul Revere an actual time-traveler who journeyed from the 18th century to continue his call-to-arms against the British occupation but this time concentrating on the Billboard and Cashbox charts? Further investigation seems necessary
