was the lead singer of the 1960s group, Paul Revere
and the Raiders
In the summer of 1962, the Raiders were signed to
Columbia Records who signed them after hearing their
recording of "Louie Louie." The Kingsmen
released the record at the same time and their version
became the most popular - indeed, it was an anthem of
rock and roll.
The Raiders had a string of top 10 hits starting in
1966, which included:
"Kicks" (Billboard Pop Chart #4)
"Hungry" (#6)
"Him or Me - What's It Gonna Be?" (#5)
"Indian Reservation (The Lament Of The
Cherokee Reservation Indian)" (#1)
Here is Mark now singing "Kicks" and also
"I'm Not Your Stepping Stone" with Micky
Dolenz of the Monkees. This song was covered by
the Sex Pistols and the Monkees (who also latered
covered "Kicks.") As Dolenz points out
in the video, the Monkees had the biggest hit with
Stepping Stone.
