The Raiders - Number One Treasure Island Oldies Top Five Countdown 1971

Paul Revere and The Raiders were a very popular American pop rock group who garnered many hits from the mid-'6os into the '70s. They were originally from Boise, Idaho, but relocated to Portland, Oregon when Paul Revere returned from serving in the US Armed Forces. I bet you saw them often on the afternoon TV music show, Where The Action Is.

This week on Treasure Island Oldies, the Top Five Countdown is from this week's Spotlight Year, 1962. Sitting at the top of the chart is a song that would become the biggest selling 45 for Columbia Records for almost a decade.

Here are The Raiders with Indian Reservation (The Lament Of The Cherokee Reservation Indian), this week's Number One song.

Enjoy!
