Powder Blue Mercedes Queen by The Raiders (1972)



At the end of the 60's, Mark Lindsay and Paul Revere saw that the music industry was changing and that "Paul Revere & the Raiders" was fast becoming an outdated band name. So, along with some personnel changes, they shortened the band name to The Raiders as of 1970 and modified their distinctly 60's sound. At the time, while it must have seemed like a big musical jump, they certainly weren't the only band whose sound was rapidly changing.

While The Raiders didn't have the same level of success that they did under the Paul Revere and the Raiders moniker, they made some decent pop rock in the early 70's.
