Louie Louie, Kicks, and
Hungry, this old school garage band favorite has been recording albums and playing shows for more than five decades.
First forming in 1958, Paul Revere and the Raiders landed their first Billboard chart hit in 1961 with Like, Long Hair which rose to No. 38. The group continued to be successful in songwriting as they were picked up by Columbia Records in 1963 after recording Louie Louie, a song that is still played at every school dance, bowling center, and skating rink around the nation.
The Raiders' first number one hit on the charts was Indian Reservation which has sold more than six million singles. To promote this recording, member of the band, Paul Revere rode cross country on his motorcycle delivering the single to numerous radio stations all over America.
