He performed "I Gotcha"


That is all.

I'll get to see his "Soul Train" performance tomorrow. "I Gotcha" is a FUNK CLASSIC!

Damn they had some fina ASS soul train line dancers this episode. I wish I was alive in '82 I would've gotten somebody pregnant.

You got that right!

LittleBLUECorvette said:

Damn you weren't alive in '82. You missed damn near all the funk brotha.
How did you catch up?

Now I know where they said on the Jacksons' movie how Michael emulated Joe Tex's pushing the microphone stand back and forth. That dude was a PERFORMER!

Moving it forward, leaning far right to the side, or the left and moving swiftly too.

They say JB got his mic tricks (among other things) from Je Tex.

LittleBLUECorvette said:

YEP! JB got one of his songs too. "Baby You're Right" went #2 R&B, I'm sure Joe got SOME residuals from it. Joe claimed James stole his spin, his splits, the way he would stop and then come back, particularly everything except the cape routine (which James admits he got from wrestler Gorgeous George ). That's why after Joe mocked him during James' Macon show that James damn near blasted him. Joe even says "I'M the Godfather of Soul". I think Joe really had something against James that he just couldn't shake off.

Timmy84 said:

I think James took Joe's woman away from him

funkpill said:

Yeah, check out this thread a made a while back about Joe and JB.

yeah....

I remember that one

I even posted on there

funkpill said:

YEP THAT'S RIGHT! I just saw the thread that talked about it! Wow, Joe Tex vs. James Brown was like Tupac vs. Biggie back in the day. Thank God both died of natural causes and not of gunshots.

Dammitt, I had forgotten that they showed Joe Tex during the "History Book" section of the episode. I was drinking that night while I was recording it and was disappointed with the musical guests last week and most of the songs for the dancers (duplicates of previous recent episodes). Afterwards, I threw my recording in the trash. I forgot Joe Tex was on there....I would have kept my recording for that.

Oh well, that's what I get for recording while I was drunk. I usually record it in the daytime but they had a fucking ballgame on WGN instead. Once again WGN, if you are going to air a ballgame, leave "Soul Train" alone and take off that dead ass bullshit "American Idol" instead.

"Hey Joe!"
"Yeah Bobby?"
"Why don't you take her?"

Joe was swingin that mic stand so much back and forth he totally didn't care that he wasn't singing into it loved watchin him sing it tho, was one of my favorites when I was a kid
