White Horse (Laid Back song) "White Horse" is a 1983 song written by Tim Stahl and John Guldberg of the Danish duo Laid Back. The song was released as the B-side of their single "Sunshine Reggae" which became a major hit in several European countries. In the US, the A-side was mainly ignored and it was the B-side that became most successful. It was released as a single and went on to spend three weeks at number one on the Dance Charts.[4] The single also made the top five on the R&B singles chart and peaked at number 26 on the Billboard Hot 100.[5] Although being played in European clubs, it failed to chart there when re-released as an A-side.
