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

The track I bring you this week is one of those 45s that is probably in 99% of every soul collection, yet I wonder how many people have flipped it over to play this side.<\/p>\n

The flipside, \u2018The Horse\u2019 by Cliff Nobles and Co<\/strong> was one of the biggest hits of 1968, hugely influential, spawning dozens of \u2018horse\u2019 and horse-related records and making its way into the repertoire of every hip marching band in the land.<\/p>\n

That said, today\u2019s selection, the vocal version of the tune \u2013 retitled as \u2018Love Is Alright\u2019 is a bit of funky genius, and in a lot of ways is my preferred side of the record.<\/p>\n

I always thought it was deely ironic that a vocalist like Cliff Nobles<\/strong> had his biggest hit on a record where his voice does not appear, and a look at the charts would suggest that almost nobody (except the New Orleans station WYLD) thought to flip the record over and play the \u2018Love Is Alright\u2019.
\nThis is a damn shame because Nobles\u2019 vocal is right tight and outtasight.<\/p>\n

His discography (before and after \u2018The Horse\u2019) is fairly brief, and his only other chart success was a minor regional hit with \u2018The More I Do For You Baby\u2019 few months before \u2018The Horse\u2019 broke.<\/p>\n

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

I hope you dig the sounds, and I\u2019ll see you all next week.<\/p>\n

Also, make sure to follow Funky16Corners<\/strong> on Instagram<\/strong><\/a>, Twitter<\/strong><\/a> and Facebook<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n
