if I'm not mistaken Tom, Paul may have even been the only musician to have ever played half a CAR  :o

Hubba-hubba!! Some nice ladies back in the day.
If I agreed with you we'd both be wrong.

This is Darren Dowler, actor, singer, composer, impersonator, etc., joined AFTER Darrin Medley, son of Righteous Brother, Bill Medley.  Darren Dowler joined about 2007 or so.  
Original lead singer Mark Lindsay is indeed alive and well. He left the group in 1975. Revere is the only original member seen here. I'm guessing the singer in this video is Darrin Dowler who joined the group in 2004. Dowler is the son of singer Bill Medley (Righteous Brothers). I don't know if the group is still touring, I have heard that Revere is very ill.

(from comments under the video... I am not that informed)
