The Electric Indian was a studio group assembled and produced by The Dovells lead singer Len Barry which included Daryl Hall of Hall & Oates fame. [1] Barry had an interest in Native American history, possibly inspired by watching The Lone Ranger TV series as a child. [2] Their best-known song was "Keem-O-Sabe" which charted in 1969.
The Dovells added dance themed lyrics and vocals to their cover of the song and it was released in 1963. Although unrelated to specifically describing the much later music genre of the same name the song has the first known instance of the phrase "hip hop" in a recording, the lyric "...you gotta slop, bop, flip flop, hip hop, never stop".
