He enjoyed some success in the 1970s, recording dance-oriented songs and novelty tracks for such labels as Alston and Sunshine Records. "Dance Across the Floor" was his lone R&B Top 10 hit in 1978, and it was written and produced by Harry Wayne Casey, of KC and the Sunshine Band fame. It has been sampled by controversial Gangsta rap group Da Lench Mob for their 1993 song "Freedom Got an AK", as well as by DJ Cash Money & Marvelous in their 1988 song "The Mighty Hard Rocker".
Horne's other Top 20 R&B single was "You Get Me Hot" in 1979 for Sunshine Records, although the prior release, "Spank," (sampled in 1998 for D'Menace's "Deep Menace"[2], as well as Ultra Naté's "Release The Pressure") also received airplay in many clubs. "Spank" featured in the 1998 film 54.
Horne's last single was the disco flavoured "Is It In" in 1980, which (due to the decline of disco's popularity) flopped, but later featured on the fictional radio station, Paradise FM, on Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. It was also sampled by Jungle Brothers for the 1989 song "Beyond this World" as well as Kasino for their 1998 song "Nasty Girl".
Horne's 1978 song "Let me (Let Me Be Your Lover)" was sampled by the Stereo MCs in their 1992 song "Connected"
For a year between 1997 and 1998, Horne's 1977 song "Get Happy" was played in the background of The Chris Rock Show on HBO. It is also sampled in The Council's "Prepare For The Shining".
