HMR Classics: Roy Davis Jr ft Peven Everett – Gabriel

“A song that speaks to the power of music and its ability to uplift and connect people.

Released in 1997, “Gabriel” by Roy Davis Jr ft Peven Everett is a house music classic featuring the soulful vocals of Peven Everett, a multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter from Chicago, and was produced by Roy Davis Jr, a DJ and producer from Chicago.

“Gabriel” speaks to the power of music and its ability to uplift and connect people from all walks of life. The lyrics, which are sung by Everett, describe a mystical figure named Gabriel who is a messenger of love and brings people together through his music.

The song captivates with a melody and message that lifts spirits, the song’s message of love and unity strikes a chord making it a beloved anthem that transcends borders and cultures. It has been remixed and re-released multiple times since its original debut, featuring the remixing skills of renowned artists such as DJ Deep, M-Beat, and Ron Trent.

In addition to its musical merits, “Gabriel” also has an interesting backstory. The song was originally released on Large Records, an independent record label based in Chicago, and quickly became a hit on the underground club scene. However, the label went bankrupt shortly after the release of “Gabriel,” which meant that the song never received the widespread recognition that it deserved.

Fortunately, the song’s fortunes changed when it was re-released on the UK-based record label XL Recordings. The re-release featured new remixes and reached a wider audience, eventually peaking at number 22 on the UK Singles Chart.

Today, “Gabriel” is considered a classic of the house and UKG music genres,  a testament to the power of music to bring people together.
