Paul Revere & The Raiders - Let Me Lyrics

Love this man since I was 11 years old, '67, finally met him about '88. got a kiss and hug! Love him always!!! Most talented amazing looking man that ever lived!

Paul Revere is barely seen. Was this on purpose? What was his contribution to the act by 1969 as the Raiders became a more serious band, musically?

Terry Melcher production ?

Paul Revere and The New and Improved Raiders :)

Dont cha see what Im tryin to do,,.Doin' my best ta try to Get to You! 👍👍💋💝

1:04 has the meanest bop

Yes Id Love to try babe if U just Let Me 😸😽😉😉💋👍✌

Love this song! Goes back to the good times.

This is a very underrated ass-kicking song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just heard this on Golden Years Radio . net and all the 60's music that gets played takes me back to the good old days when I had a rock band called The Presidents. Our recording for Decca in 1965 was lost for 53 years and just released in June 2018 and Golden Years has included it in the playlist. Got the old band back together and made a video so it's me 78 miming to me singing 25 - great fun and who knows we might trend : -) Please share......

Dreadful. Does the lead singer think he's mick jagger lol. Looks like a huge dork

The end is mamamamama

Still makes me want..... love Mark

Is that Keith Allison on bass?

The Kings of lip sink

how does someone publish rolling stone magazine and then years later seemingly have no fuc*ing clue as to who should be in the Hall of Fame?

Keith Allison on bass?

1:47 The keyboard player really doesn't seem to be enjoying himself too much.

Sure Mark, I'll let you! 😀 I never get tired of this song.

Mark says Let Me........

Very creative! I absolutely Love the drum part in the bridge!

My my my my my my my 😂 yeah boi this is the song for my feet to groove

curti muito , ouvia pela Radio Excelsior SP

I just noticed when this came out....damn I was 16, almost a old maid. LOL

I probably would have let Mark do anything, I believe I was only 14 when this came out. He was gorgeous.

Sherry Yates Yes Mark was HOT .

The scream at the end makes the entire song!

Who is that on the drums?

Joe Correro Jr.

Keith Allison...Paul McCartney's right-handed twin brother!

This film quality for 1969 is astounding. It looks like it was filmed today.

Best HQ RAiders video ever posted!

Great sound 60s Hello from Brazil

It's Happening !! from 69 their own show on ABC..Used to watch Happening 68 and It's Happening...on Sat around noon..

At least we know who invented the Mullet now.

Not a mullet. It's a thing called a ponytail.

Saturday afternoons after cartoons were over brought me here

This was the second edition of the Raiders, after Harpo (Jim Valley), Fang (Phil Volk), and Smitty (Mike Smith) left the band.

Aaaahhh, the glorious summer of `69!

summer of "67 helluva lot better, buddy 14300848

a special made with the beach boys

This was on a especial with the beach boys on ncrv studios

I had the album that contains this hit single (album: Alias Pink Fuzz) but one of the best cuts from the same album is the song "Handy Man".....

"A woman's like a race car; she's a fine machine
But when the gears get rusty, the plugs need to be cleaned.
I do major overhaul, minor tune-ups, too.
Bring your woman 'round to me
I'll have her running just like new......"

Wow! :)

Funny you could sing those lyrics to this song.

A woman's like a race car(Yeah)she's a fine machine (Houuuu)
But when the gears get rusty (Yeah) the plugs need to be cleaned (Houuuu)
I do major overhaul (Yeah), minor tune-ups, too.(Houuuu)
Bring your woman 'round to me
I'll have her running just like new.....

dig it thx

Lip Sync.  Lip Sync.  Lip Sync.  Baby we all Lip Sync.

"Dont you hear what i'm trying to say,lol! Let me baby!

whose band was it ?   Paul Revere or Mark Lindsey    thank you

@JohnAllanification it was pauls.him and mark started it. but it was pauls idea.

@valsueann  check.ty

muito Legal!,.. a banda "Blow up" de Santos,SP, gravou a versão dessa musica "Deixe-me" em seu primeiro LP em 69.

Am I the only one that digs the part where Mark sings "My, my, my..." (or whatever the  lyric is) @2:14? Now I know who Steven Tyler ripped his stuff off from!

i was in 8th grade on the track team waiting for my turn in a relay race, and i could hear this song playing on the radio.

No, you're not the only one ... in fact, I've been digging "Mama Mama Mama Mama!" since 1969.

i think you´ re right...

Best part of a great song.

I'M FIFTEEN

who else loves fang?!?!?!?!!!!!!!

sing it mark lindsay

Guess the Vietnam War made their American Revolution costumes unsavory.

The Raiders at the Bunny club.....&
Mark just a few months away from the Manson murders ,which had a dramatic effect on him,because they came very close to him and Terry Melcher ,the producer of this track. For now all was still rosy and blissfully unaware of the horrific things that were about to unfold.

I think BOC lifted the guitar chord riff

Thank God for Youtube or we'd only have the radio for out Raiders fix. I miss you Paul and my misspent youth, But waht a fucking ride. Thanks.

+Kim Serrahn if i want a raiders fix.i play their albums. have them all

Paul Revere - RIP

Yes, R.I.P Paul! i always will LOVE your music! to bad we all cant live forever!!

RIP PAUL !

Amen to that.

who is that guitar player that look like Paul with the raiders

Always preferred the single version of this song, where Mark Lindsay immediately returns to the refrain after his "my-my-my-my..." It's simply more power-packed -- one of the best records from an act that exemplified late '60s Los Angeles pop-rock.

vp: Is that version available? Thanks!

Not sure if you mean this one - https://youtu.be/3oGleL4XxH4 - it's the full length version from the album.

My name is SHARON TAYLOR & I live in Jacksboro , Tennessee. Does anyone know if Mark Lindsay has been Inducted into the ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME? If not he DESERVES TO BE!

good video and sound quality. Thanks for posting.

Paul Revere and the Raiders were too real for the Hall of Fame. They were just a decent bunch of guys having fun. But I don't think this is one of their best songs. I think I remember it from MTV Closet Classics.

We had a grade school group called Paul Revere and the Raiders sporting the same headgear in 1968

Mark Lindsey recorded this song without "the raiders."  And, he alone had the next big hit "Cherokee People" on his own. 

What great rockin' song. Mama, mama mama mama!!!

Remember Keith Allison from "Where the Action Is" the guy who gets startled by Front Man Mark Lindsay!

Makes me wish they and I were that young again!! This is what memories are made of!! Saw MARK last August at Ind state fair!! Really enjoyed it!!

Makes me wish they and I were that young again!! This is what memories are made of!! Saw MARK last August at Ind state fair!! Really enjoyed it!!

Believe it or not, I first heard this song on MTV in the late 80s. It was one of their "Closet Classics". 

In 1969 a number 16 hit in Vlaanderen (Belgium).... nice melody... nice performance....

Am 55 and have listening and enjoying PR @ the Raiders since the seventies and they always have blown me away!!!  Great video!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

Gee, ya think Mark's singing about wanting to "ball" some chick? He he! Yes kiddies we used to call "it" ballin'. Would've enjoyed a longer look at the girls at the end of the clip

I have this song on a 45, liked it then and still do. Love this video. Mark is so handsome and coooool.... Thanks for sharin

Freddy, Keith and Joe are not Raiders? Then who are the guys on the album covers (Hard 'N' Heavy, Pink Puzz, Collage)?

Another "person" who thinks because he has never seen a live clip, none exists. And that of course means that PR&R couldn't play their instruments. Sorry to confuse you with FACTS, but I have posted live clips on my channel just to set the record straight for naysayers like you and Dan Cooper, who didn't have the guts to accept my $20,000 bet. Nonetheless, check my channel for a LIVE version of "Soul Man".

my favorite paul revere and the raiders song and 3rd 45rpm record. 79 cents in 1969

Mark was at odds with Paul in regards to the Revolutionalry Uniforms but uniforms or not these guys crancked out the hits between 1965 and 1971!

looks like keith allison on bass?....but no drake,no fang or valley even.........no raiders....only poor (rich) paul and mark.......

A precursor to the Mullet. lol

I've seen the Raiders minus Mark. I'll finally get to see him in June. Back in the day he was the hottest thing in pants. "LET ME"....Hell yes.

This is the last gasp of the Raiders Phil and Lance had left, the music had been 'Dick Clarkafied' compare the beat and rhythm of this dog with the 1964-66 stuff like 'Kicks'.
Mark bailed around this time, I went to see PR&R in Vegas several years ago and got up and walked out about four songs into the set, it wasn't 'THE' Raiders, it was Lawrence Welk in 4/4 time.

Your opinion. I think this is one of their best.

bought this 45 in 69 when on the radio......83 cents.
In my opinion, some of the best music came out in that year.

It's impossible to find a LIVE performance from the Raiders in the sixties.....Everything lipsynced. Question......Could the Raiders back then play?

Always loved Marks voice.....so cool!!

2:15 cracks me up! I saw them in concert in 1985 at the World of Wheels show in Atlanta, GA
and they were great.

For all you Raider fans, check out their cover version on You Tube of the Sonics "Have Love Will Travel." As usual, Mark's voice rocks!

I'll never forget the first time I heard this song. Senior Trip to Galveston, and all of us were packed in one hotel room, playing the radio. Great memories.

Love it!

youre like the 4th person who's said that and the 45 I bought skips right there too, but my promo copy doesn't skip at all. Go figure!

Memories!!! Good ones!

I had this 45 and sadly and strangely, I scratched it right after Lindsey belts out mama mama mama...so it repeated that over and over...so when ever I hear this song I except a much longer..mama mama mama...

Odd to see a performance without them in the uniforms and tri cornered hats.

Listening to some of this stuff recently with a good set of earbuds and some of the guitar and bass work is outstanding. Unlike the early Monkees stuff these guys could play.

I still love the Paul McCartney look-a-like, Keith Allison playing bass guitar! The Raiders should have been inducted a long time ago into the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame!

I still have this 45--I played it so much back then it warped! It's 2012 & this video has almost 129,000 views--thats flippin awesome---->

Great sound! I like that tele

Excellent!!

@KTKTRock I'm sure I haven't heard this since it was out & I was13 years old - was a great song.

@KTKTRock You're correct...aka 'Happening '69'

Let me YAAAAAAAH ;D

These guys were definately not uncomfortable in front of the camera..totally relaxed and lovin it. So many of the sixties bands were too rigid and fixed in place on stage..plus Lindsey has the best pure rock voice of them all!

@KTKTRock I DO!! I used to watch it & American Bandstand for the "latest" sounds!! LOL!!!

Mark Lindsey will always be yummy., The band had broken up when this song was recorded. Look for the blondie on guitar, he's not here.
