Yes, I finally found the song I remembered from when I was a kid, I love this version so much better then the rest. I was not wrong, it's still as great as I remember. Is Don Fardon still recording, he has one of the sexiest voices I've ever heard
I remember when this hit here in the states. i always felt the Raiders version was too poppy. I was surprised when they covered it. BTW, when the record was released, there was a promo film ( what we would now call a video), with Faradon miming in full native dress, and as I recall, it was filmed outdoors. I think I saw it on Bandstand, but it may have been one of the other numerous music shows we had back then (Shindig, Hullabaloo, Where The Action Is, etc).
This song was written by John D. Loudermilk who also wrote "Tobacco Road". It was first recorded in 1959 by Marvin Rainwater and released as "The Pale Faced Indian". The first hit version was a 1968 cover by Don Fardon, a former member of The Sorrows, that reached #20 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart and #3 on the UK Singles Chart. Later it was recorded for a Mark Lindsey solo album but at the last minute was given to the Raiders to record. It became their all time biggest selling record.
Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!
I think the deeper voice and the greater, and better, use of drums make this a better version that Paul Revere simply because it evokes Native American's better
really good lyrics !! sad but true - maybe the most wisely nation was rotted out.They knew how to live in accordance with nature and showed respect to "mother earth".Our generation could learn a lot from their attitude.Especially nowadays when we're about to kill our planet and ourselves.May the Indian spirit live on and may we learn from it !!
Don was playing at the Spires in Cov last night with his group the Sorrows and still sounds great, saw him also at the Arches in Coventry last month.

The bass in this song, no matter who does it is one of the coolest lines I have ever heard. :)

Ironically this version was first. Although most people think of the version by Paul Revere and the Raiders. I like this one best

The last time I heard this version was 1967. To bad they don't play it on the oldie's stations.Better than Revere's.

interesting version...
I've only heard the version by Paul Revere and the Raiders up to now, and that version is a favorite of mine... I do like this one, tho...
a couple of minor corrections of your lyrics...
it's "Brick built houses by the score"...
"won't need teepees anymore"...
and, "They'll never change our heart and soul" (no plurals)
good stuff...
