Drake Levin, Now RIP

Paul Revere and the Raiders' lead guitarist, from 1963-1967, Drake Levin, aged 62, recently lost his long battle with cancer. Ironically, Levin, a member of the band best known for wearing campy Revolutionary War uniforms, black, thigh-high riding boots, and tri-cornered hats, passed away on the Fourth of July.
Levin joined the Raiders in 1963 but had to leave in 1967 for a stint in the National Guard. His time with the band, coincided with a string of top 10 hits including "Kicks," "Hungry" and "Good Thing."
He is survived by his wife of 37 years, Sandra and sons, David and Darby. May he rest in peace.
