Paul Revere Dick
Paul Revere Dick (January 7, 1938 – October 4, 2014) was an American musician, best known for being the leader, keyboardist and (by dropping his last name to create the stage name) namesake of Paul Revere & the Raiders. The band became notable for a string of hits (they claim 23 straight) from the early 1960s to the early 1970s and thrust Revere into the position of a celebrity. Career Paul Revere & the Raiders Dick was born in Harvard, Nebraska. He was the "idea man" behind the group. Even before the group, he was convinced there was a place for a combination of music and humor after seeing Spike Jones & His City Slickers. After taking piano lessons, he emulated the style of Jerry Lee Lewis. Dick grew up on a farm near Boise, Idaho. After attending barber college, he had opened a barbershop and a drive-in restaurant in Caldwell, Idaho. While picking up hamburger buns from a local bakery he met teenaged Mark Lindsay. The two became the foundation of the band in 1959. T ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Alias Pink Puzz
''Alias Pink Puzz'' is the eleventh studio album by Paul Revere and the Raiders. Background The title was a humorous reference to the band's tactic of sending the new record to a Los Angeles FM radio station under a pseudonym. It was broadcast as long as the station did not know that "Pink Puzz" was Paul Revere and the Raiders. This album was slanted towards folk rock more than other albums released by this group. Songs such as "Thank You", "Down in Amsterdam", "Original Handyman" and "Louisiana Redbone" led the way towards the folk rock theme. "Freeborn Man" became a bluegrass staple for Jimmy Martin in 1969, and was later covered in 1976 by the Southern rock band Outlaws. ''Alias Pink Puzz'' charted higher than any Raiders album during the previous two years, reaching No. 48 in the United States and No. 46 in Canada, but stayed on the chart for fewer weeks than any other Raiders album since 1965. The single " Let Me!" reached #20 on the U.S. pop chart in 1969 and ranked #100 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
