Paul Revere & the Raiders

Big day in Paul Revere & the Raiders lore. 50 years ago today. From Bob Dearborn's The Olde Disc Jockey's Almanac today...

May 23, 1963…Paul Revere and the Raiders signed with Columbia, their first major label contract. Their first record to chart for the label was "Steppin' Out," peaking at #46 in late 1965. The more successful followup, "Just Like Me," began a string of 14 Top 40 hits for the group.
