Paul Revere & The Raiders were another group that were exclusively dubbed by The Wrecking Crew for their studio recordings and Glen Campbell was often the session player in the guitar chair. Their output was even more frantic than The Monkees when Dick Clark recruited The Raiders for his daily variety show in 1965. Originally intended as a summer replacement and broadcast at 2 P.M., "Where The Action Is" was successful enough for it to continue throughout the 1965-66 TV season, with a change in time period to 4:30 P.M. following the coat-tails of horror soap opera "Dark Shadows". Both programs attracted a young audience who watched the shows faithfully after school (guilty as charged, I liked Barnabas before vampires were cool and my first rock bank covered no less than 4 PR&TR songs). The Raiders lip-synced at least one showcase every day, 5 days a week, so the gears of the music machine went into overdrive supplying them with fresh material and Glen was ringing the cash register again.
