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.

Bill Withers - Ain't No Sunshine (Just as I am)
Bill Withers was born the youngest of nine children in the small coal-mining town of Slab Fork, West Virginia. Raised in nearby Beckley, West Virginia, he was thirteen when his father died. He joined the United States Navy at eighteen and served for nine years, during which time he became interested in singing. He began writing songs to fill a need for lyrics that expressed what he felt. Following his discharge from the Navy in 1965, he moved to Los Angeles in 1967 to pursue a career in music.
"Ain't No Sunshine" is a song by Bill Withers from his 1971 album Just As I Am. The song was released as a single in September 1971 and became a breakthrough hit for Withers, reaching number six on the U.S. R&B chart and number three on the U.S. Pop chart.

Belle & Sebastian - get me away from here, i'm dying
Belle & Sebastian es un grupo de indie pop escocés formado en Glasgow en enero de 1996.El nombre del grupo proviene de Belle et Sébastien, un libro infantil escrito por el francés Cécile Aubry y en el que se relatan las aventuras de un chico (Sébastien) y su perro (Belle). Dicha obra fue llevada a la televisión en formato de serie en 1965 en formato de dibujos animados en 1981.
Aunque presentando una imagen de grupo alternativo al gran público, las canciones agridulces de Belle & Sebastian inspiran una lealtad fanática entre sus seguidores, similar a la experimentada por The Smiths durante sus días de gloria. Parte de esta lealtad es debida a que, hasta 2003, la banda no incluía sencillos en sus álbumes.
