“Silver Bird” #25 8/1/1970

Some songs are remembered more for use in advertising than anything else. Even though this solo Mark Lindsay effort made the Top 25, the tune (with altered lyrics) became part of an ad campaign for Yamaha motorcycles in the 70’s. Not the first time that happened with Lindsay. Paul Revere and the Raiders once did a promo single for the hot-rod Chevelle, “SS 396,” which got radio airplay despite no public release.
