Anybodu here into the man Joe Tex. The Jphnni Taylor thread made me think of some southern soul greats.

What are your favorite cuts by him?

I used to crack up off of "I Gotta'cha"

You Got What It Takes is pretty good!

"Men Are Gettin' Scarce" cracked me up, as a child. I used to listen to that 45 and just roll.

"Say Miss Lady, now you just gonna sit there at that table
And eat all the barbecue and ain't gonna give me none (mumble)
Say what? Oh not you again
Say LeRoy, here's this woman with them skinny legs again
She got a greasy mouth this time
Come over here and get this greasy mouth woman
She reminds me of them folks up in Navisoda, Texas
Eatin' barbecue and drinkin' red soda water on the 19th of June (laughter)
Look here, give me a piece of that barbecue
And kiss me with your greasy mouth" (laughter)

I've loved "The Love You Save (May Be Your Own)"

Another cool one "Don't Let Your Left Hand Know What Your Right Hand is Doing."

Give The Baby Anything The Baby Wants

"Men are getting scarce, girls, getting scarce as Hens' tea and that's mighty scarce!"

A couple of other great Joe Tex tunes:


-One Monkey Don't Stop No Show (That song is straight up SOULFUL, Jow was preaching to them)
-Papa Was Too (Funk!!!)
-I'll Never Do You Wrong (Some down south southern soul right there)

Classic Joe Tex performance:

Hold On To What You Got
I Gotcha

Remember when Damita Jo Freeman, who was a regular, used to dance with him when he was on Soul Train, especially on "I Gotcha?"
