SOUND OF THE VALLEY 
RECORDS
 Independent label: "Stop the 
Cavalry" is a song written and performed by the English musician Jona Lewie. 
The song peaked at number three in the UK Singles Chart in December 1980, at one 
point only being kept from number one by two re-issued songs by John Lennon, who 
had been murdered on 8 December. Jona Lewie's version was issued by Stiff 
Records (catalogue number Buy 104). In 1981, Stiff Records brought together the 
Gwalia Singers — a Welsh male voice choir — and the Cory Band to record a new 
arrangement of the song (catalogue number Buy 133). This version remains one of 
the most requested of all holiday songs in parts of the USA. and it has been 
suggested that it is "probably the most popular song ever by an artist who never 
had a charted recording". Distributed By Stiff Records.
