The Hues Corporation (1973) Freedom for the Stallion

 This early song by the Hues Corporation sounds like a Carpenters easy listening hit, this was in 1973 before their major proto-disco hit Rock the Boat hit in 1974. The follow up to Rock the Boat was Rockin Soul,  which is pretty much the same song with different lyrics. The gospel mixed with traditional easy listening trumpets and flutes is a nice different sounding soul ballad.  With a Jackson Five sound that also makes it  an appealing song from a group that are definitely a one hit wonder, then again what a hit that was..
