Hey Jim.

Sad indeed but he had a wonderful life and crazy times as the bands leader,to be sure.

I got those 15 hits in a weird way. I got the vinyl LP " Paul Revere & The Raiders ‑ All‑time Greatest " Which goes from "Just Like Me" to "Indian Reservation". ..but skips "Like,Long Hair" & "Birds Of A Feather" . Those two I got on 45rpm. "Birds.." first an finally locating a copy of "L.L. Hair"

Also,the same day i got all their hits,I completed Ray Charles's & Bob Dylan's hits too. Pretty good sweep.

As a fan of the group,maybe you can answer this for me.

I saw a clip some years ago on a Dick Clark nostalgia special. It's in B & W and Paul & the boys are singing a song but some of the gyts are dismantleing or wrecking the piano at the same time.

The only line from this song I can recall is "woak-oh-oh-ohoh!" Which they repeat over & over. What's the name of that song? I don't seee the clip on You Tube anywhere. (Unless I'm not searching right,.)

Appreciate the help.

Bye for now.
