Hits of Paul Revere & the Raiders

    I can't go too long after starting without including the hits list for our hometown band.  Paul Revere & the Raiders started in Boise, Idaho (some were from Caldwell, about 20 miles from Boise) in 1960.  The radio station I worked for (KFXD) was the one that broke the group.  Nearly every one of their releases in the 60's and early 70's was a huge hit in Boise.  And yes, Paul Revere is every bit as nice in person as he seems.
