Elvin Jones, actor (albeit just the one role) played "Job Cain" in the 1971 film Zachariah. Which you Headz should see, if you haven't.
Freddy Weller had a much higher profile (14 solo albums) as a country singer...he was only a Raider for maybe 2 years. According to Wikipedia: "Unbeknownst to the group, Revere had hired a new guitar player, Freddy Weller<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freddy_Weller>, to perform that night. Levin graciously stepped aside and even showed Weller the chords to the songs. Levin was forced to watch the performance from the wings as the Raiders made their one and only appearance on Sullivan's show, on April 30, 1967. It was the only time that the lineup of Revere, Lindsay, Smith, Volk and Weller performed together." Smith & Volk quit shortly thereafter, and Freddy had a solo country chart single by May 1969.
