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

The tune I bring you today is yet another, perhaps more obscure chapter in the story of Benny Gordon and the Soul Brothers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As has been recounted in this space many a time, Gordon and his band came out of the Carolinas and made themselves a name and a career in New York.<\/p>\n

They recorded for a number of labels in the 60s \u2013 Enrica, Capitol, RCA, Wand, Estill, Phil LA of Soul \u2013 and their 45s are all excellent and worth picking up.<\/p>\n

The disc you see before you was a 1968 release, and as the title and the sound of the record will reveal was created in the wake of, and in an attempt to cash in on, the success of Cliff Nobles & Co\u2019s<\/strong> \u2018The Horse\u2019, a massive hit in \u201968 and an extremely influential disc, in and out of Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

Newmiss was a shortlived label with a brief discography that seems to have been based out of Chicago (or at least focused on mostly Chitown artists, Mr Gordon and the band excepted).<\/p>\n

\u2018Horsing Around\u2019 is a funky, fast-moving side that as I said above, works around the basic \u2018Horse\u2019 framework, with a galloping beat and a blazing horn section.<\/p>\n

As far as I know, this is the only side billed exclusively to the Soul Brothers.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a groovy one, and I hope you dig it.<\/p>\n

See you on Friday.<\/p>\n

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