He was 76. <p>Roger Hart, manager for Paul Revere and the Raiders, said he died Saturday at his home in Garden Valley, Idaho, from cancer. Revere was born in Harvard, Nebraska, Hart said.</p> <p>"He'd been quiet about it for some time," Hart said. "Treated at the Mayo Clinic, Paul stayed on the road as long as he could, then retired recently back to Idaho, where he and his wife, Sydney, always kept a home."</p> <p>Revere, born Paul Revere Dick, became known as "the madman of rock and roll" for his theatrical colonial wardrobe and infectious onstage persona with the band.</p> <p>"From Day 1, we've always been a party band that accidentally had some hit records and accidently got on a hit television series," Revere told The Associated Press in a 2000 interview.</p> </blockquote> And from <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2014/10/05/showbiz/paul-revere-obit/index.html">cnn.com</a>:<br /> <blockquote>The band recorded a string of hits in the 1960s and early 1970s, including "Kicks," "Hungry" and "Indian Reservation." Revere, the band's organist, had a hyperactive effervescent stage personality and came to be known as "the madman of rock 'n' roll."</blockquote> My favorite hit by Paul Revere and the Raiders is also their biggest hit -- <em>Indian Reservation</em>.<br /> <iframe width="560" height="350" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/zQ6RjP7MlXk" frameborder="0" defang_allowfullscreen=""></iframe> rss@dailykos.com (librarisingnsf) Entertainment PaulRevere PaulRevereAndTheRaiders Recommended _1334549 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 04:10:04 +0000
