English rock band BABE RUTH!!! 🎉The song was written by Alan Shacklock and recorded along with the rest of the First Base album at Abbey Road Studios in the summer of 1972. Shacklock wrote the lyrics of the song as a retort to the 1960 John Wayne film The Alamo, which was full of historical inaccuracies[citation needed] and did not show the human side of the Mexican troops[citation needed] who defeated the Texian forces at the Battle of the Alamo. The song has a driving drum beat and funky bass and shows Shacklock’s fondness for African-American music and Wild West shoot outs.
Too bad the last two breakers didn't use it to its fullest. I used to break in the 80s, and every b-boy would try and rush in and take the floor when this track came on at the battles. You could feel the energy shift in the room.
Recorded in Abbey Road Studios 1972. I had the privilege to visit the studio some 50 yrs later and I can tell you the walls are still thumping to the bassline. A rock tune who's DNA dawned an era of hip hop and b-boy culture.
Amazing experience and efforts to deliver excellence and love this song and the way DJ Duke presented his direction in delivering what he expected of his song and production .
