    First time Joe Tex perform this song , It was televised on Soul Train. The dancer who was pulled on stage with Mr. Tex was none other than Miss Damita Jo Freeman. She threw down!!! From there she became a "Star''.

      I remember that Very well And yes, she definitely threw Down and I think in my opinion, she was the best soul train dancer ever. That soul train episode will always go down in history

    Tex continued recording hits until 1972, when he decided to pursue life as a minister in the Nation of Islam after converting in 1966. He came back to music after the death of the Nation’s leader, Elijah Muhammad in 1975. His last public appearance was in 1981. After that, Tex retreated from the public eye and retired to his ranch in Navasota, Texas with his wife Beliliah Hazziez. When Tex converted to Islam, he changed his name to Yusef Hazziez. He had five children: Earthra Doucet, Joseph Arrington III, Ramadan Hazziez, Jwaade Hazziez, and Joseph Hazziez. Joe Tex died at his home in Navasota, Texas from a heart attack on August 13, 1982. He was 47 years old.

With all the outlets for music, I couldn't tell you what the hit songs are. Soul Train, Casey Kasem, Ed Sullivan, we miss you !!
