Paul Revere & The Raiders - Indian Reservation

Paul Revere and the Raiders is an American rock band that saw enormous mainstream success in the second half of the 1960s and earlier 1970s, best-known for hits like "Indian Reservation (The Lament of the Cherokee Reservation Indian)" (1971).
Initially located in Boise, Idaho, the Raiders started as an instrumental rock outfit led by organist Paul Revere. "Indian Reservation" (1971 - #1 - Gold single), was recorded as a Mark Lindsay solo session[citation needed]. Some sources erroneously credit the lead vocals to Freddy Weller, who had recorded a cover version of The Cowsills' hit "Indian Lake" around that same time, hence the confusion. For promotion, Revere took the unusual step of riding cross-country a total of four times, plugging the song at every market available. Revere's efforts paid off, and "Indian Reservation" peaked at #1 for one week in July.
