AN EXCELLENT PLAYING COPY OF THIS RARE TV THEME TUNE 78 BY FRANKIE LAINE ON UK PHILIPS

CHAMPION THE WONDER HORSE

This is Frankie Laine's Great version of the Theme tune from The Great Children's TV show "Champion the Wonder Horse". This featured the exploits of Champion, a wild stallion who befriends twelve year-old Ricky North (Barry Curtis) in the American Southwest in the 1880's. Although Ricky, who lived on his Uncle Sandy's (Jim Bannon) ranch, had a magnetic attraction for trouble, he was always rescued by the wonder horse, aided by the boy's other bosom companion, German shepherd dog, Rebel.

The original theme was sung by the song's writer Norman Luboff - but this is a much better and more powerful version - and the one that I remember from BBC radio's family favourites!!

Champion was Gene Autrey's horse.  The show didn't last too long - but it was one of the earliest TV shows centered around the adventures of an animal.

 

Like a streak of lightnin' flashing 'cross the sky
Like the swiftest arrow whizzing from a bow
Like a mighty cannonball he seems to fly
You'll hear about him everywhere you go
The time will come when everyone will know
The name of.....Champion the wonder horse

Champion the wonder horse
