Rest In Peace Paul Revere

[Phil B.]

The world of classic rock music has lost another icon today. Paul Revere, entertainer, singer, musician, bandleader, friend, husband, father and grand man of show business died Oct. 4, 2014 at the age of 76. The news of Revere’s passing came via a post on his band’s official Facebook page tonight.

In August, 2013, Revere shared the news of his battle with cancer with over 100,000 fans on his band’s Facebook page. A wellspring of support, love, prayers and well wishes ensued on his Facebook page, exemplary of the true devotion with which music lovers and Baby Boomers alike held the legend Paul Revere Dick (his real name), born on Jan. 7, 1938.

Kicks was probably the first "anti-drug" song I heard, and (I'm Not Your) Stepping Stone is still one of the hardest rockers from that time period in my opinion.

I had the chance to see Paul and the Raiders in concert a couple of times. Though it wasn't the classic line-up with Mark Lindsey, they sure knew how to put on a show. They did hit after hit, "Kicks", "Just Like Me", Hungry", Steppin' Out", "Let Me", "(Him or Me) What's It Gonna Be", "Indian Reservation" and the rest. Of course, The Raiders will never get into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, they're not "cool" or "hip" enough. They were one of the 60's most underrated bands. Paul was a performer to the end. RIP Paul and thanks for all the good times and great music.
