[@philbrown1474]

The best singing drummer in rock.

[@dennislaudenslager6380]

Agree!!!

[@robertbishop5357]

Yup.

[@petegregory517]

He's in it but I gotta give Phil Collins the edge......more range.

[@Cinemagoer_64]

He was also a tremendous drummer the get ready drum solo one of the greatest ever recorded.

[@zaingamel1]

Absolute favorite singer/drummer, ever!!

[@alexisrice8509]

Peter Rivera - an absolute legend! I’m 26 years old and so thankful my father introduced me to REAL music 🎵 Last time I saw him preform was at Riverfront Park in Spokane, Washington during Pig Out In The Park.. and holy moly does Peter know how to put on an incredible show!

[@robertbishop5357]

For me Peter was, is and always will be the voice of Rare Earth.

[@rickcasey8964]

I’m going to be 63 and one of my first records I bought was rare earth and still sounds powerful today

[@onlybosslion9267]

I agree, with you Mike the music was part of our life. Rare Earth songs, sound is still great today!

[@alexisrice8509]

Yes! Timeless music 🎵

[@fernandoalvaradojr.95]

Excellent drummer and Singer

[@JamesCouch777]

Those were the good old days, wish I was still there.

[@nicj99]

I met Peter today, October 15 as he raked needles in front of his house here in Spokane getting ready for his departure to warmer climates down in the Gulf Coast told him my story of how I first heard get ready and bodies 45 and 1970 and he was very gracious. I got a picture and he gave me a key ring with that same logo. It was back behind them during that interview. Great Guy!

[@randyhertzberg7549]

I've seen Rare Earth 4 times, three times in Kankakee, IL Another time they were with Steppinwolf, Iron Butterfly, Tommy James & Shondells, this time in Bridgeview ,IL

[@greggraham9785]

RARE EARTH IS SUCH A GREAT BAND! MY FIRST 45 I BOUGHT WAS " I JUST WANT TO CELEBRATE " PETERSON RIVIERA SOULFUL VOCALS AND THE BAND GREAT MUSICIANS! I WILL ALWAYS LOVE THIS BAND!

[@michaeljanik1972]

Grew up in the 70s listening to the best music era.

[@lionheartroar3104]

Pete sounds exactly as he did in the 70's. Great soulful voice!

[@martacecilianovoventurino748]

Love Peter Rivera' s great voice...he' s a real man..varonil..interesant...keep singing.......

[@muffs55mercury61]

The years 1970 to 1972 (plus a reappearance in the top 40 in 1978) wouldn't have been the same without these guys. Sadly most of them are gone now (I think Pete is one of just two survivors of the original 1970 lineup) Favorite song; "Hey Big Brother" in late 1971. It was great to be young in those days.

[@musicman920]

I think its three who are still with us, Peter, Kenny James (Folcic)and Rod Richards(Cox0

[@marcthomas2153]

@@musicman920 I thought the same thing too

[@robertmayer2071]

[@maureencora1]

Glad I've Got Rare Earth' the Greatest Hits on CD. "I Just Want to Celebrate" is My Lottery Win Theme Song. I Can Dream, Can't I? (smile)

[@BarneeFife]

Peter Rivera, Burton Cummings, Steve Perry, Lou Graham, Gary Morris (country), and Franke Previte, (song- ‘Sweetheart’) were some great voices during my life. I was lucky to be alive.

[@brentluckhart6238]

One of the top groups of all time!

[@rayhawkins7076]

I was a fan of their " Radio Hits ", but never took the time to delve into their music, until recently. I'm Blown Away !!!! I missed out on , one of the Greatest Sounds, in Music History ! Very UNDERRATED Band.

[@ericr5431]

I have a mint condition Rare Eart double live album and love it.
