Artist
The Raptures
Kourosh Yaghmaei formed The Raptures in Tehran in the early 1960s, naming the band after The Ventures, whose records he and his bandmates had worn thin. The 1967 lineup put Yaghmaei on lead vocals and guitar, Bahram Saeedi on electric guitar, Kamran Khasheh on organ, Jahangir on bass, and a drummer credited only as Viguen, not the singer of the same name.
