This song said so much and made such an impression on us back then, a reminder of what human beings are capable of in the name of the law. Paul Revere organized the Raiders in 1958 in Idaho. They were the first rock group to be signed with Columbia Records. In 1965-1966 they were featured on the ABC TV five-day-a-week network show "Where the Action Is" produced by Dick Clark, and appeared on 520 ABC network shows.
In 1968 & 1969 Paul Revere co-hosted a weekly ABC series "Happening". He also co-hosted a five-day-a-week summer show, "It's Happening".
In the summer of 1971 the Raiders' recording of "Indian Reservation" sold nearly 4 million singles, making it the biggest selling record for Columbia Records in 10 years. The group has performed thousands of concerts in North America, Europe and Asia as well as being seen on major TV shows.
Paul Revere and the Raiders had 25 consecutive hit singles. Revere has continued to play shows on the oldies circuit and in Branson, Missouri with various Raiders. Lindsay is semi-retired and lives in Portland, Oregon, where he hosts a radio show on a local station KLTH 106.7FM. Keith Allison, who played in the Raiders from 1968 to 1975, has since gone into acting, and has appeared in the film Gods and Generals. In 1997, the group's classic 1966 Midnight Ride lineup (singer Mark Lindsay, guitarist Drake Levin, bassist Phil "Fang" Volk and drummer Mike "Smitty" Smith) reunited in full costume (though without Revere himself) for a 30th anniversary performance in Portland. Smith died four years later.

Began as a dancer on Broadway and got her big break when Betty Hutton developed measles during the run of PANAMA HATTIE and understudy Ms. Allison got to step into the role. After this, she was hired for the musical, BEST FOOT FORWARD, and would later reprise her role for the MGM film version of the same musical . . .

View a small glimpse of the early years in racing scene. Now known as National Association of Stock Car Automobile Racing, it was at first, a way of 'Earning a Living' running from the law in an effort to deliver "Bootleg" whiskey to those thirsty Souls that needed the Extra Boost that no "Store Bought" liquor could offer. Eventually evolving into the Most Loved Sport in America, and supported by more than 100 Million Fans, NASCAR is now and will always be the "Sport of the Common Man"! Audio from actual interviews from the Allison and Yarborough "Altercation", and the 'King', Richard Petty. Music by Kenny Loggins as he sings his Hit, from the movie 'Top Gun', "Highway to the Danger Zone"!
