Was this a one hit wonder??....who sang it??.....If you wanna ride...don't ride the white horse.....white horse.....ride the white horse.....

Myst, the group is called Laid Back and I believe they are a one hit wonder as far as I know.

They had another hit on the R&B charts called "Sunshine reggae" however they are a one hit wonder on the pop charts.

Heh. I actually liked that song. My folks told me never to play it in the house. So! Of course, I cranked it as loud as it would go... I still have that song on MP3.

I have it on this record album called "Heat". It is an album with extended mixes of different songs.

Monifah sampled "White horse" in the song "Touch it" from about 2 years ago.

The Danish band Laid Back sang White Horse--an '84 one-hit wonder. (Well, at least I think it's a one-hit wonder.)

Laid Back was a little bit more successful in Europe, they had a #1 with "Sunshine Reggae" and another Top 20 with "Bakerman" in the 90s.

I bet Kay and Smurf will happily provide you with more infos... :D

Danish band Laid Back is Tim Stahl and John Guldberg - two studio musicians who had no intentions of ever having a band of their own. They jammed together after a studio session and came up with the 1980 single "Maybe I'm Crazy" - A very unique sounding electronic song that reached #1 in Denmark.

Their breakthrough came in 1983 with Sunshine Reggae - One of those songs that won't go away. This was a monster hit in continental Europe and South America. The single was released in the US, but didn't get much airplay. The B-side however - got the attention - White Horse. The song got remixed and sent out as a 12". It got rave reviews and Prince called it "the most influential dance single of the year". It did get a bonus release as a double A-side 12" with Prince's When Doves Cry.

Laid Back enjoyed success in Scandinavia in 83/84 with High Society Girl and Elevator Boy. Both singles ended up as sub top-50 singles in the rest of Europe.

They had a minor hit with Bakerman in the late 80's, which did better on the dancefloors than on the sales charts.

They have released a few albums since. They decided to break the silence in 2000 with a tour. The first in a decade. The tour was a huge success in Denmark, Sweden and Germany. They are still touring summer festivals and open-air arrangements.

Thanks everyone! I appreciate your replies. My daughter started singing that song...(Think she heard it on the radio)...

Well, in the US, Laid Back would indeed be considered a one-hit wonder musical act.

Yes, I liked White Horse, too. :) :)
