GEEZ!!! I never realized so MANY high schools used this as half-time material, or waht their school song. My nefew was in marching band(QUADS), daughter ,Cheer-laeder, both all thru H. S. Never heard this sonf once, not even at away games. We live in the one of The Great Lakes States. Maybe geogrofy(spell) has some thing to do with it. Anyways. one of the great instrumentals to come out of the sixties!
I remember playing this song in the high school band I played tuba and we use to bust it every friday night at the football game, our team sucked but the band rocked
(August 4, 1941 – October 12, 2008) was an American pop singer, who is best known for his instrumental hit, "The Horse. This instrumental was at #2, the week of July 29, 1968, same week that the #1 slot was ALSO held by an instrumental, Classical Gas by Mason Williams, a rare occurence. Cliff Nobles died at age 67.
Thank-you, for posting my favorite record of all-time. Do you know (And I'm sure that you do, that rhythm section that you hear is actually the rhythm section, of a group that would later be known as...MFSB? Don't quote me on this bit of info, but I believe that Gamble and Huff also produced "The Horse", too.
Great one, this was on CKLW's only 60 (80?) for about a year, it was great tune to hear riding in your car late at night. At least that's how I'll always remember it. Thanks for posting!
Secretariat---the horse god created. This song was used as background music for a Squirt commercial way back in 1969.

Nope, it was produced by Jesse James and released on Soul Records, a Motown subsidiary.
