By 1968 Lindsay had completely taken over the writing and producing tasks for the group.

The group itself was featured prominently in this show, whereas in ''Where the Action Is'', the entire group was part of an ensemble of other musical performers. ''Happening '68'' premiered in January 1968. The show was so popular that the group also hosted a daily version over the summer of 1968, called ''It's Happening''. ''Happening '68'' survived into 1969, at which point the name of the show became ''Happening''. The show was canceled in October 1969. By this time, like many other groups, Mark Lindsay and his bandmates were trying to maintain their success, but also were exploring other opportunities. Lindsay began to record solo records and to produce records for his bandmate,

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)". On the Hot 100, the record reached No. 1, whereas the highest position that Paul Revere & the Raiders had ever reached was No. 4. 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).
