The more you live is the more you learn...as a boy growing up in the sixties and seventies i know a few songs with Joe tex but never knew he carries such a huge catalog....and that performance i never have a clue i think it was only James brown alone have those moves what a man what a performance very good Joe tex you live forever in world of music
Joe Tex was and remains one of the most underrated and often overlooked artists ever in the popular world of music. His story is hardly ever told. His legacy isn't embraced. Tex's legacy isn't celebrated enough.
I was a kid in the 70's when my mother would buy and play his records I got cha , and Ain't gonna bump no more was my favorite along with the dance, The Bump. Joe Tex need to be recognized and put in the Rock and Roll hall of fame.
By the early 70s I was 7 or 8 years old growing up in Los Angeles as a Muslim Child. We were followers of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. I had previously heard a song by Joe about a girl with skinny legs, but he had a new song called I got cha that I loved. A few years later in 1974 we attended a meeting in LA and the speaker was Yusef Hazeez aka Joe Tex. I just learned today in 2021 that he had actually become a Muslim in 1966 which I never knew
Oh yes!! I was 14 years old when that song came out. My friends and I would sing it to death! Ain't nothing today like those songs because you could sing along with them. The entertainers today and their music is horrible!! I quote the words of the god father of soul, " They just ain't got no soul! ". Long live soul music!
My first memory of Mr Tex is I was in the first grade when I Gotcha came out the boys would dance to the song and the girls would run. My second Joe Tex memory is years later I think I was in the 8th grade and I was doing my homework and on school night my mother yelled come here Joe Tex was singing Ain’t gonna bump no more. Years later I bought my first c d the Atlantic Records story and it is there that I was introduced to his broader work.
Me too. I turned 7 in August 1970 and it was my favorite song at that time even though I was a Muslim child growing up in a very strict Los Angeles household
At David Jones(department store) record bar, Newcastle NSW Australia, during my second year of high school, after school I called in at DJ's, as it was called, and found all these American ex-jukebox 45s, among them I'd eventually buy 6 Joe Tex singles, all on the Atlantic-distributed, Buddy Killen-owned Dial label, Show Me, Truest Woman In The World, Men Are Gettin' Scarce, Papa Was Too(flip of Truest Woman...), C.C. Rider, and some others. At that time I'd never heard of Joe Tex(in 1969 at age 14), I just bought these exotic 45s and played them on my HMV Minigram, using the pop-up centre-spindle adaptor to centre them properly on the turntable. I still have them, 48 years on.
Is me or does he not sound like James brown? Great entertainer Joe tex ! Love James brown don't know why I never heard of Joe tex . Growing up in Brooklyn new York, surprised that he wasn't on the radio? I don't remotely anytime hearing his music. Dam he is sooo good! I'm listening now. 2022
I was floored when Otis Redding and members of The Bar Kays were killed in a plane crash. There were brothers who literally cried when he died. Otis was 27 years old.
Joe Tex is the backbone a hip hop because how he was rapping on how you say oh I got you and how we sample his music through hip Hop Joe text deserve to be and nothing to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame if anybody going to induct him. I think it should be a Texas native Son and I think that Texas native Son should be Quentin Tarantino hey Quentin. If you read this message through TH-cam even though you don't do social media I think you should be the one to end up inducting Joe Tex into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
mrstanbmw now that was good..a friend of mine said the same thing .now i'm a fan of Charlie Wilson and never heard it in his singing voice until listening to this video
@@ronniemoon57 it look like Joe Tex was doing his thing way before James got on the scene and ole James Brown sort of amplified it when he got on the Ed Sullivan show.
Why Michael Jackson never claimed Joe Tex as an inspiration? He didn't sing as good as James Brown, Jackie Wilson but he was a showstopper with those dance moves like them!!!
James Brown is not a real singer, more like a screamer. But that doesn't take away his talent and energy to perform. He definitely had one of the best soul bands in music history.
Joe Tex was a better vocalist than James Brown. Brown originally started out doing good vocals but he eventually morphed into a screamer and that's how he stayed right till the end of his career. But as far as vocals go Tex definitely had more Range than Brown. And Jackie Wilson was totally in a class by himself as a vocal powerhouse.
Men are scared just like hen teeth yeah Used to be time when a woman could get a man with just her charms Now in order for woman to get a man She got take him she got take him she got take him Out of another woman arms
JB was extremely competitive..but the beef was over one of Mr Tex leftovers..I believed they borrowed and respected each other artistically but Mr Brown was cold in them days. The stories are out there..Taurus vs Leo
U must understand, musicians are u rooted undisciplind men who must be kept in line for an on the road band to prosper. James Brown knew it. NUFF SAID!
@@justiceforall6412 I've read The Illiad 5 times in 3 different translations and corresponded with one of said translators. Your opinion isn't worthy of comment but I'm feeling ornery tonight. Have another drink.
Joe Tex. Famously known as, "The 37th Hardest Working Man in Show Business"... Which, honestly, is still really good if you think about how many people there are in show business. Terrible nickname though. Just terrible. 🤷♂🤦♂️

Damn right. Look at those TH-cam videos and see how great he was. Don't go by some of those network things (not all) .

One of my sisters disliked Joe Tex because of that song, because she had skinny legs, everyone use to tease her about it.
I was a kid in the 70's when my mother would buy and play his records I got cha , and Ain't gonna bump no more was my favorite along with the dance, The Bump. Joe Tex need to be recognized and put in the Rock and Roll hall of fame.
He really does!!!!
I agree brother. I still listen to his music. His song " Say Thank You" still touch my very heart today. Loved the man
My favorite son by joe is "a woman have a hard time when her man is gone". Absolute truth in that song
Deep in my heart, Joe Tex is! Had he lived to 100 he would have STILL been making good records!! Miss ya, Joe!
Miss you Joe Tex. My Uncle Norman played in his band the saxophone and directed Joe's band. R.I.P.

How could this man be a member of that hate filled cult. Boggles the brain for decades now!
Unsung Master of Song and Dance!
Yusef Aziz..RIP.
I loved Joe Tex spirit in his songs. My favorite is " I Got Ya! ", he was so humorous in his music.
Here we meet again... :o)
great video
And howdy to you!! LOL!
lovely Dove hi lovelyDove - remember """"Hold on to What You've Got""" ??

Each song he sings tells a story because he lived it iam one of his biggest fans I got his greatest hits on cd
Saw Joe at the Royal Peacock down on Auburn Ave. in Atlanta Ga. circa 1966. Man could dance and sing
Joe Tex,one of the best. My favorite song... You had better hold on to what you be got.
I was lucky to see Joe Tex@ the RoyalAlbert in 1970s he was amazing it was a great show with gteat artis on show

I learned about the beef between Joe Tex and James Brown over a woman. Joe Tex got him with "You Keep Her"
Dynamic humble, unsung pioneer Superstar of SouL from the bottom to the top.
Oh boy! you remind me of myself with Johnny Guitar Watson! Love your story Mr.
Big ups to Joe Tex. My parents had his album and after watching so many videos about him, I see that James Brown stole those moves. R.I.P. Joe!!!!! 💪🏾
First song I ever heard by Joe tex was the love you save ❤️ been hooked ever since
My intro also.

Mr. Lance Shabazz, Outstanding Research!
Is me or does he not sound like James brown? Great entertainer Joe tex ! Love James brown don't know why I never heard of Joe tex . Growing up in Brooklyn new York, surprised that he wasn't on the radio? I don't remotely anytime hearing his music. Dam he is sooo good! I'm listening now. 2022

James Anderson....agreed! I love it!

Thank you so much for sharing this Sir!!!!!!!
Speaking from the heart :)
Wow him and James Brown remind me of each other.
I feel you brother i was the same way about The Isley Brothers and Jimi Hendrix
I was floored when Otis Redding and members of The Bar Kays were killed in a plane crash. There were brothers who literally cried when he died. Otis was 27 years old.

Wow! That's good stuff!
Thank you! !❤
Didn't know Joe was Muslim...wow!
I love guy and im white what beutiful performer
He was from Navasota, TX...and he was bladder than bad!!
Right, a one of a kind performer. No one can ever "do his act." It was so unique.
Joe Tex is the backbone a hip hop because how he was rapping on how you say oh I got you and how we sample his music through hip Hop Joe text deserve to be and nothing to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame if anybody going to induct him.

You can tell Uncle Charlie was influence by Joe.

.now i'm a fan of Charlie Wilson and never heard it in his singing voice until listening to this video
Joe could get down
Joe Tex Wow.

No, Joe Tex got his style from James Brown.

@@thankthelord4536but he invented the Funk... At least he could hold a note..

James brown hated on him sooo bad n took his woman joe made a song about it n it's called you can keep her

Now in order for woman to get a man
She got take him she got take him she got take him
Out of another woman arms
HE WAS GREATEST. IM WHITE I LOVE GUY
❤
It is me but some of Joe Tex mannerisms resemble that of James Brown? No wonder he and JB was clashing all the time
JB was extremely competitive..but the beef was over one of Mr Tex leftovers..I believed they borrowed and respected each other artistically but Mr Brown was cold in them days. The stories are out there..Taurus vs Leo
James Brown stole all that man stuff
I loved Joe, but COME ON DUDE!!!!!!!!
In the 80's IO was the guitar player in an R&B act. Most of the guys in that band had worked for Joe Tex. They would argue your assessment of the man.
U must understand, musicians are u rooted undisciplind men who must be kept in line for an on the road band to prosper. James Brown knew it. NUFF SAID!

Joe just never really had that ONE GREAT SONG and his vocals were kind of low in mixes.
