KEN HARRIS WROTELast week, local Boise RocK 'n Roll legend vocalist Dick Cates, 63, passed away. According to the Statesman's Tim Woodward(who was bandleader of the Mystics at the time), Dick Cates was considered the Roy Orbison of Boise and one of his career highlights was once playing on the same bill as Roy. He had a magnificent rich voice and "could sing any song in any key." Dick Cates and The Chessmen were perhaps second to Paul Revere and the Raiders in southern Idaho during the late 50's and early 60's. Dick influenced many musicians and bands along the way and he will be missed!
