Mark Lindsay was the lead singer of Paul Revere & The Raiders in the 60's-70's. He had a big hit when he went solo with "Arizona". The band had a lot of great songs such as "Indian Reservation", "Just Like Me", "Kicks", "Hungry", "Let Me", "Mr. Sun, Mr. Moon", "Good Thing", "Him Or Me - What's It Gonna Be?" etc.
There was a special feeling of and artistic beauty back then. Especially music. All of it was magical and wonderful for me as a young teenager without adult concerns yet.
Mark Lindsay has always been a great talent. Very underrated. Has had some wonderful solo efforts also. Life Out Loud is the name of a solo project he did in 2014. Just absolutely amazing cd. Great video Harri.
Both this song and "Arizona" were written by Kenny Young and have almost identical chord progressions. "Arizona" was the bigger hit, reaching #10 on the Billboard charts. In the mid-60s, Lindsay and Paul Revere & The Raiders were considered America's answer to The Rolling Stones, with punchy, hard r&b-inflected rock songs like "Hungry," "Kicks," "Just Like Me," and "Stepping Stone." However, Jagger/Richards soon out-classed them by writing better and more inventive music. By 1970, The Raiders were steps closer to becoming a Las Vegas concert act. Mark Lindsay (who started out as the sax player in the band) deserved a better, longer-lasting career. He was a very good singer and energetic performer. Thanks Jim and Harri.
This song is played in the movie "The Grey Man" with Ryan Gosling. The song is played and there is a major fight scene. Fight scenes often have music in the background, and you realize that this time, the fighters can hear the music too. Also, it's a good movie.
When I was child my older sister bought me my very own first record album, my choice. For some reason unknown to me today (not really my kind of music these days) I picked Mark Lindsay's Arizona album and played the crap out of it. I still have it. Memories 😀
Arizona, Indian Reservation with some Raiders in the background are examples of great simply crafted pop songs. Fantastic melody. And Mark's voice, wowsers!!!!
This was one of my favorite songs of 1970; I liked it better than the similar hit "Arizona." Mark was a fine singer. As others have said, he sang lead for Paul Revere and the Raiders in the '60s. In musical terms, I'd say the late '60s and early '70s were essentially the same period. In fact, culturally speaking, I think what we think of as "the Sixties" actually ran from about 1964 until about 1972.
One of my favorites as a kid haven't heard it in years still sounds good. I always thought it sounded a bit like David Cassidy. Thanks for the flashback! ✌
Harri, as I know that you know, the 60s-70s-80s are so full of catchy beautiful melodies like this one. So many that many almost go forgotren today. Boy can Mark deliver a powerful, beautiful, simple pop ballad.
From Mark's solo album, "Silver Bird", 1970, backed by The Wrecking Crew, this was a great tune with a great melody and fabulous backing instruments and of course Mark's vocals. So great while he was in Paul Revere and the Raiders. It made it to Number 25 on the Billboard Hot 100's in the US and Number 10 in Canada. Great reaction Harri, I think you got the plot perfectly. Thanks Harri and Jim. 👏👏 Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Late 60's, maybe 1970. Mark Lindsay is the absolute master of song "hooks". Listen to Arizona and it will confirm what I just said. He also does a masterful version of Neil Diamond's " And The Grass Won't Pay No Mind".
In 2013, Mark made a fine garage rock album entitled "Life Out Loud" with New Jersey band The Doughboys backing him. Some great rock and roll on the album.
Mark Lindsay was one of the more underrated great singers of the 1960s
And by the way, Silver Bird is the main song on a movie called The Gray Man. A Netflix movie in 2022!!! Get that!!

Mark's voice was behind those hits. He had a beautiful voice.
@@velvetbeeshe still does,still sings from time to time.
Indian Reservation was recorded for a Mark Lindsay record, the record label vetoed this.
Oh I loved Mark Lindsay in the late 60’s - what a blast from the past! Thx!
He was the lead singer in Paul Revere and the Raiders. Great 60's band.

Wow, I remember this tune, and I think it was from the 60's. Thanks Harri

MARK LINDSAY IS THE BEST EVER..

I love Mark Lindsay as a solo artist or with the Raiders.

I had forgotten all about this song! I loved this back in the day when it came out. Glad to hear it again!
Haven't heard this song 🎼 for years. Thank you Jim and Harri

Nice song so was Arizona by Mark. Was the lead singer for a totally forgotten very good group mid 60ish Paul Revere and the Raiders.
You should react to the song Arizona, also by Mark Lindsay
When I was child my older sister bought me my very own first record album, my choice. For some reason unknown to me today (not really my kind of music these days) I picked Mark Lindsay's Arizona album and played the crap out of it. I still have it. Memories 😀
And, he was pretty good lookin' dude, too
Love the group and Mark on his own. Listen to Arizona or "And The Grass Won't Pay No Mond"
This was one of my late brothers favorite songs along with Arizona by Mark Lindsay.
I kind of get the idea that he might have been the singer in Paul Revere & The Raiders.
But I might be wrong 😅

Wow, totally forgot about this song. Thanks for bringing it back.

If you haven't heard him sing "Arizona", that's also a beautiful song.
It was used in a modern movie the movie is called the gray man. Silver bird is what Most people called an airliner
