Freddy Weller "The Legend Of Paul Revere And The Raiders"

Probably not an all-praising look at his past with the group he got his start with, but an honest song nonetheless. It was on Freddy's "Love Got In The Way" album from 1979.

Love that song!.

@rlittle Joe was one of the best drummers ever! I used to play drums, but he played some fills that I could not figure out at all!

@franklinrocks1 I'm surprised, too. Maybe those figures are missing a zero.

I hate this... he didn't mention my cousin from Greenwood, Mississippi.....Joe Correro, Jr...

@GARDNERKSGUY Not quite 9 years...Freddy didn't join until '67, then he was gone by the end of '72 when their record sales started to plummet. But you're right...how come he hung in there even that long? He's just not admitting to enjoying some of that fame and those 'willing young ladies and groupies' :D

@jarofants1 How silly. It was George Bush who had his drivers licence suspended for 30 days because of DWI. No record of it could be found. Oddly enough Bush was behind the .08 law. If Bush had

"smoked pot" it would not have been less dangerous.

January 20 was the 30 anniversary of Regan and 50 of John Kennedy. I think they did the best job that they could do. We could go on and on; but all you have to do is turn on Fox News or CNBC and you can hear both sides 24-7. Peace man.

@trailboyus66 Your mom shouldn't have let you go see Obama he smokes pot.

More so since Paul Revere put up the money to get Freddy into the studio and record 4 songs, of which "Games People Play" was one. If he was so 'disgusted' why did it take 9 years (1966 to 1975) for him to quit the Raiders, I'm sure there would have been at least one contract renewal in there somewhere....

Really interesting. The Raiders were a "contract" group and I suppose when Weller signed up he saw it as a big break from a regiional career in the South to the national scene, He was quickly disillusioned and as we hear, disgusted. Now the "legend:" follows him and he';s setting the record straight. Good for him.

@rlittle Joe can be found playing in clubs in the Los Angeles area.
