Greetings all<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

Welcome once again to the Funky16Corners hump day experience.<\/p>\n

Back in nineteen and sixty eight, when a cat by the name of Cliff Nobles and his group laid down a little number called \u2018The Horse\u2019which was a HUGE (YOOOOOOOOOOGE<\/strong>) hit in the summer of that year.<\/p>\n

\u2018The Horse’ wrecked the R&B and Pop charts, was by far the biggest hit that the storied Phil-LA of Soul label ever had and, as was often the case with successful dance craze records, spawned a veritable cottage industry of Horse-and horse-related rip-offs, tributes and homages.<\/p>\n

If you get a sec, drop by the Funky16Corners mix archive to dig Funky16Corners Radio v.22 \u2013 Horse Power<\/strong><\/a>, which is a survey of the Horse explosion.<\/p>\n

Included in that mix (back in 2007) was the track you see before you today, \u2018The Gallop\u2019 by the Chevelles.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Originally appearing on the flip side of Gloria Walker\u2019s<\/strong> 1968 hit \u2018Talking About My Baby\u2019 (R&B Top 10, Pop Hot 100), \u2018The Gallop\u2019 is Horse-like in word and deed, emulating the vibe of the OG as well as attaching themselves by association with the title of the song.<\/p>\n

The Chevelles \u2013 sometimes billed as the Mighty Chevelles<\/strong> \u2013 recorded a number of 45 for Eugene Davis\u2019s<\/strong> Flaming Arrow imprint, as both headliners and backing singers like Walker and Angela Davis.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Based in Detroit, the Flaming Arrow label lasted for almost a decade, with the Mighty Chevelles eventually recording and releasing an LP on the label in 1977.<\/p>\n

It is a funky, fast moving (it seems to pick up speed as it goes along) 45 and an excellent entry in the horse sweepstakes.<\/p>\n

I hope you dig it, and I\u2019ll see you all on Friday.<\/p>\n

Keep the faith<\/strong><\/p>\n
