"Kicks" was written by husband and wife songwriting team of Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, who wrote the song to try to motivate Gerry Goffin (Carole King's husband and songwriting partner - "Up On the Roof', "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow") to get off the drugs that were affecting his career and his marriage. Mann and Weil offered the song to Eric Burton and the Animals, who refused; they then offered the song to the Raiders, who took it to the Top Ten in the US and No. 1 in Canada.....thank you for coming to my TED talk....

I think it is absolutely insane that Paul Revere and the Raiders are not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They are one of the greatest group that ever performed. They not only have great musical talent, they also have the greatest personalities. I could listen to them all day. I have listened to them since they started in the 60’s.
