The Raiders were an American rock band, best known for their work with producer Terry Melcher and their association with the Byrds. They are perhaps most famous for their 1971 hit single "Indian Reservation (The Lament of the Cherokee Reservation Indian)," which reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The band's music often incorporated elements of rock, pop, and country, and they released several albums throughout the 1960s and 1970s.
The Raiders' sound was characterized by their catchy, harmony-rich vocal style and their blend of folk, rock, and country influences. Although they were not as widely recognized as some of their contemporaries, the band had a dedicated following and enjoyed significant commercial success with several of their singles and albums.
