Jul 23, 2009 - The Stones and the Raiders on tour together?? Yep, it happened in 1965 and again in 1966. In '65, the Raiders opened for the Stones, but by 1966, Paul Revere and the Raiders were so popular that THEY headlined and the Rolling Stones opened for the Raiders. How's about them apples?! Maybe that's where some of the bass lines were picked up?

Aug 26, 2009 - It was great being a kid in the 60s. Imagine growing up to this music on the radio each day.. Yes, we were happy.

Swartzie6 Says:

Aug 28, 2009 - LOL..I had to search my thoughts on that this a bit...What i recall was he was trying to embrass me in front of the class for making a smart remark...so my comeback was thats Groovy..It was a new word at that time so he took it as if i swore or something

7beers Says:

Sep 18, 2009 - That Laff in the Dark ride should be the one that was at the Pike in Long Beach...

tuxguys Says:

Sep 21, 2009 - Fall of 1967... I remember because I was in a full-leg cast for about six weeks while this was getting lots of airplay. The other two tunes that were really huge at that time were "Tell It Like It is," by Aaron Neville, and "Good Vibrations," by some group that had vocal harmonies very similar to these guys.

Sep 25, 2009 - Granted there were a lot of one hit wonders back then but listening to the old AM stations was really neat! Also when FM took hold it really was out of sight!

Oct 26, 2009 - The Isley Brothers do a rocking Motown version of this song. I never knew it was a Raiders song.

marshallspoppa Says:

Oct 31, 2009 - This is the first 45 I ever bought. My dad had a fit. He asked me why I would want to give them money to support the drugs that ALL rockers used. Good thing he didn't see the Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention record I bought.

Nov 18, 2009 - Hey that 'Greatest Hits' LP you showed at the beginning there; i have that on 8 track, and I play it in the car. The thing that pisses me off though, is that the piece of crap installed in my car keeps eating the tape. it doesn't eat any other tapes, just this one.
