Mark Lindsay (born March 9, 1942)[1] is an American musician, best known as the lead singer of the rock band Paul Revere & the Raiders.

The next day, he was working at McClure Bakery in Caldwell, Idaho, when Paul Revere came in to buy supplies for a hamburger restaurant that he owned.

Mark Lindsay carried the theme a bit further by growing his hair out and pulling it back into a ponytail, which became his signature look.

Lindsay and the group caught the attention of Dick Clark, who was developing Where the Action Is, an afternoon show for the teen market.

Lindsay's lanky stature and good looks, as well as his excellent singing voice, quickly gained him immense popularity; he became one of the premier American teen idols of the 1960s.

The Raiders were the first rock group signed by Columbia Records and were produced by Terry Melcher, the son of actress and singer Doris Day.

The house later became infamous as the site of the horrific murders of actress Sharon Tate and others, committed by members of Charles Manson's "family.

[2] Lindsay recorded "Indian Reservation", a song written by John Loudermilk and made into a Hot 100 top 20 hit by Don Fardon years earlier.

It was intended to be a solo recording for Lindsay, but for marketing purposes, the decision was made to release the song under the simple band name of "Raiders" with just Lindsay & Revere appearing on the track along with L.A. session players from the Wrecking Crew, and the song was retitled with a subtitle, "Indian Reservation (The Lament of the Cherokee Reservation Indian)".

Lindsay continued to chart solo singles throughout 1970–71: "Miss America" (#44 – May 1970), "And the Grass Won't Pay No Mind" (#44 – November 1970), "Problem Child" (#80 – January 1971), "Been Too Long on the Road" (#98 – June 1971) and "Are You Old Enough" (#87 – October 1971).

According to a Rolling Stone interview (conducted in 1985), Lindsay left The Raiders because "there was a contractual thing I didn't agree with, and I just stopped.

In 1980 he dubbed a voice and co-wrote the musical score (with W. Michael Lewis) for the American version of the Japanese movie Shogun Assassin.

In the early nineties he met the group, The Chesterfield Kings in Rochester, New York, on one of his tours, and later collaborated with them, performing on their recording of "Where Do We Go From Here?"

Olson co-produced the original sessions with Lindsay and brought in Danny Federici and Eric Johnson, as well as songs written by two friends of hers, Scott Kempner of the Del Lords and Michael Nold.

He currently does some touring, but as of January 7, 2006, he was heard on a webcast every Saturday night on the website of KISN radio from 7 p.m. to 12 a.m. PST, titled "Mark After Dark."

[10] Lindsay's recording of Treat Her Right with Los Straitjackets in 2001 was cited by Stephen King in his column for Entertainment Weekly in May 2008: "This remake of Roy Head's 1965 soul hit smokes.

Lindsay married his second wife, Deborah (née Brandt), on July 29, 1989, in McCall, Idaho after his first marriage to Jaime Zygon ended in the early 1980s.
