Ups And Downs- Paul Revere And The Raiders- 1967

[wfarrar69]

tell the people at the rock and roll hall of( seriously )fame to put them in there.please!!!!!!!!.thank you.

Definitely one of my top five Paul Revere tunes! As an added note, the Flamin' Groovies do a great cover of this one on the "Now" album, sorta like a garage band Byrds with heavy slide guitar.

Tight song. An underrated rocker like Moreen.

This band is so much fun to listen and play along to. The bass phrases are excellent,especially "Him or me.... Check out "Tighter, Moreen and "Free.

The Rock Hall induction committee is bogus. Recently, they choose Iggy Poop and the Cure. PR&R along with the Doobies, Little Feat,LosLobos,Stevie Ray Vaughn, Steve Miller, Deep Purple, Dr. John never considered. Thank God for Utube. Thanks 74Sodapop. Raiders and a ride in a 66 Pontiac GTO with an 8 track. Now that is a memory

I used to look these guys over every night. Their photos were all over my walls and ceiling. I was 12 at the time.

The McCoys, best-known for "Hang on Sloopy", were originally called Rick & the Raiders but changed their name to avoid confusion with Paul Revere & the Raiders. Ironically, the McCoys had a hit called "Up and Down", while Revere's Raiders had one called "Ups and Downs".

@rslitman I have the McCoys 1st 45 under the name of Rick & the Raiders, released on the Sonic label #76234. Good tune "I Know That I Love You" b/w "What Can I Do". I bet this 45 is pretty valuable.

Sadly, THE most under-rated band in rock music history. My mom had such a crush on Mark that I am named after him. Great music, so no regrets for that.

Great song! Distinctly remember them sing this on Where the Action Is and loved it. I was six yrs. old and bought it as my very first 45 -- and I still have it.

I LOVED the Raiders when I was a kid in NJ in the 60's (13 in '66). Never missed one episode of "Where The Action Is--"Ups and Downs" was one of my favorite 45's--it's just as great as Kicks, Hungry, Great Airplane Strike, or Him or Me. Mark was the American Mick Jagger to me--and Fang on bass was HILARIOUS. I'll always love and miss these guys.
