Im not very good at english, im not from an english-talkling country so I dont understand all about this song but u all people say it is so true and such , it probably is but im just enjoying it anyway cuz it has a very good melody too
he stole from lord george harrisons sound. these backward southerners. tha danelectro guitar stolen. i was of the times. these southerners throw termites to make one sell ones home they throw bricks thru windows. these okies slam jesus down yur throat. jesus.t
When i was kid in the 70's i had 1 of his albums with this song on it n i played it over n over n over again lol n guess what..... i finally remembered it n it's fresh in my head....great tune :))
For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. Trust JESUS CHRIST and He will save you - Call Him and He will give you everything you need
Hello all - I just heard an awesome re-release of this song on WFUV (90.7 in NY) by a new artist named LISA. Very different from Joe South - but a faithful rendition.
Since the first time I heard this song I loved it , it's so true . Always enjoy it when I hear it today ,and the song fits today just as it did in 1969 !
This man and I may have lived in two different worlds but we are so singing from the same songbook and I agree with him wholeheartedly in his beliefs. Thanks for sharing Tuks and Murphicus..
This is another great song from the late 60's. Joe South was a great song writer. And a pretty decent guitarist too. Unlike Glen Campbell he wrote all of his own songs. No Jim Webb. Although I like Glen too. One of the best studio guitarists like Chet Atkins.

wow, this song takes me back down under in Sydney Australia, dont it make you want to go home,All gods children get weary wnen they rome ,god how want to go home.
See Joe South with AVM in his personally authorized version of his hit song HUSH! Just search for AVM HUSH on You Tube. Joe plays his original guitar intro on the song he said "made the hair on the back of my neck stand up!" We love you Joe! Hope to see you again, soon! God Bless Ya!

Maybe he was talking about all of the religious hypocrites that preach about the Bible,but are greedy,selfish and rotten really. Religion has done far more bad than good for the human race. Like John Lennon said, "Imagine there's no heaven."
@Jupiter2able You're another blind fool, whose all knowladge of Church is based on pedophile scandals. Don't your realise that Catholics have actually helped thousands of poor and ill people? Every week they rise money for family who can't provide their children with dinner or clean clothes? The problem is not if religion is good or bad... the problem is people who refuse to see good things, but only looking for another ocassion to kick somebody in the ass.
@dixie5pepper6 He's still around but doesn't seem to have done much for awhile, I don't know how well he rebounded from his brothers' suicide (the drummer for band)
I don't know how well anyony rebounds from that...
I was looking for something else by him and accidentally clicked onto this video and it began playing before I scrolled down to the list of other videos to the side. I recognised the song so left it on... then looked to the title properly... no wonder I've just sat listening to the whole thing (even though I've found what I was looking for beforehand), I love the music from the 60's!
I had this LP when I was a kid and when Joe got to the bridge I could still hear the skip where my record had a scratch. I miss Joe. He was a one-of-a-kind.
of all the songs I've listened too, I'm not sure any one song has more meaning than this one. this is priceless and Joe South was the only one who could pull this off with feeling.
@TheLadandLass I'd disagree because Tesla is a SING ALONG true band, true to the spirit of music, not just rock and hard rock. Ask singer Jeff Kieth. He's a very emotional guy. I'd point out the sitar guitar, unusual but used in many various recordings
Listen to this song often, read the analytical book "Games people play" read Body Language by Julius Fast. Listen to the song again and you will minimize the hurt to yourself all your life. You will be able to endure what is dished out to you, by others and emerge unscathed into your sunset years. Been there done that.
Moses has decreed the game to be over... Kenny has agreed with Moses... For the official record- Smash is the Isaiah 62 dude and Kenny needs a male child... No future weddings necessary to fulfill scripture...
Five years before Joe South wrote this song was a best-selling book by Eric Berne called The Games People Play, a self-help psychology book on human relationships . Excellent book.
It might have inspired Joe's song, maybe. Once in awhile a song comes along that actually means something - this is surely one of them.
@murphicus Well, In Communications they talk about this Book, same title, and the concept he talks is called Transactional Analysis (TA), Strange we come to listen this song cos of the book, lol, one way or the other....we're here........... Nice Upload. Thanks
@Blackgeoff1 Especially '' People walkin' up to ya, and they try to sock it to ya in the name of the Lord''. I get those god botherers coming up all the time trying to convert me.
@lizichell2 Those people that you call 'god botherers' are the only people that give a crap about you and your soul. Everyone else just wants something from you for their own lusts. So, you have it backwards. Not everyone will let you know that you are headed for a lake of fire, or any other disaster, for that matter. They would rather you hit that wall or fall off that cliff so that they can find pleasure from your detriment as they laugh at the vdo they made and put on youtube within 15 min.
@Blackgeoff1 When he was talking about 'people... try to sock it to ya in the name of the Lord', he is talking about people coming to you 'in the name of the Lord' while pushing sorceries like reading horoscopes, future, etc. as if it was from God... which it is actually against God. He is talking about those who are claiming God, but really following Satan and their own lusts. This guy has been a friend of the family since I can remember and he DOES believe in God, the true God, and not fakers.
@frankndebois If you've never seen the hypocrisy in the practice and preaching of "Christianity" then you are either blind or lying. "'in the name of the Lord' - How many leaching TV preachers and faith healers to pedophiles can you count?
People who trash Christians, use the throwing stones as an excuse of their own fear, and to not have to admit your own inequities. (We all have them) Christians never claim to be perfect, we are learning everyday to what God expects of us, and probably will continue to sin, Only God corrects us, we are only human, We preach, because that is our responsibility, and again we are not perfect, only Jesus Christ was perfect. God deals with his people individually,. God Bless You Rock Throwers.
Such a powerful song. I recorded a cover of this on my channel if anybody is interested, i'd love to get some feedback and hear what you think. Thanks.
I meet Joe South back in the 80's, he was doing an uplink at the PBS radio station I worked at...a country singer now...but I walked up and shook his hand...and told him how his music affected me thought-out the sixties.
@marksletters Song of the Year is awarded to the songwriter, not the performer. Everybody's Talkin' wasn't nominated for Song of the Year. But if it had been and had won, the award would have gone to Fred Neil, the songwriter.
Had the thrill of meeting Joe South last night and hearing him sing this song live. He sat at our booth for the rest of the evening. Didn't know at that time how many other songs he's written. A very talented man!!!
@MatBroadwayJunior91 HI, Yes, this is the original written by Joe South. Joe is a very warm, personable gentleman. Joe wrote numerous hit songs that many other artists recorded including Billy Joe Royal, Elvis Presley, Deep Purple, Lynn Anderson. AVM has most recently done his song 'Hush' with Joe's blessings. Joe actually played his original guitar riff at the beginning of the AVM version. We feel blessed to have the opportunity to work with this great songwriter!

My wife and i got married in 69 still married today. We were both in rock bands when we started dating. I miss playing and touring. This music never grows old. At 62 years old all i can say is ROCK AND ROLL FOREVER.
Hi Joe South Fans! See Joe South at the beginning of AVM's new 'Hush' video (posted on YouTube). Joe graced us by playing his original intro on our 2011 re-release of his classic! Joe says of AVM's version, "It made the hair on the back of my neck stand up!" Thank you, Joe. You are an amazing man! God Bless!
This was a hit back in the nice spring of 1969...when ''Aquarius/Let the sunshine in'' by the 5th Dimension was at #1 for 6 weeks....and ''Hair'' by the Cowsills...was at #2 same time...love those 2 songs!! After a very dreary winter..spring of 1969 was a huge relief.... BTW..this song title is not to be confused with the Fall 1975 hit by the 'Spinners'..in their own ''Games people play'....Maybe some of yous here heard THAT song as well......((nope- this is NOT ''Casey Kasem'' here--...))
@Pedy1968 ~~~>If you were born in 1968..there are a lot of songs I love from this very time in 1968.... including these: ''Bend me, shape me'' by the 'American breed'.....''Green Tambourine'' by the Lemon Pipers....''Love is Blue'' by Paul Mauriat..... ''Susan'' by the Buckinghams.... ''Different Drum'' by the Stone Poneys((Linda Ronstadt))...and I love this one...''We can fly'' by the Cowsills...I have a lot more to list here..but can't fit them all in here on this single ''message''.....
@canEHdian46 ~~~>Do you have a favorite Sonny and Cher song? I like their summertime 1965 #1 song ''I got you babe''...and this time in 1988,...CHER hit solo with ''I've founf someone''.....and in 1999..''Believe'' ....making Cher the only one with at least one Top 10 hit in all stages of her decade ages from a teenager (('Bang Bang'...aged 19))to her 50s(('Believe'..at age 53))...!!!
The only version which can compete with this, though in a complete different style, is the one recorded by Dionne Warvick in gospel style. I have it in a cd but don't know how to post it as it seems unavailable here in the tube.
God, you know a song is truly exceptional and amazing when it invokes emotions and a feeling in your heart that can physically feel. Brilliant song by a talented man.
I had not heard this song once since the DJ's stopped playing it. But someone did something.....................game playing...............and i typed in the whole first verse perfectly. Then i you tubed it and sang along with Joe South. Every word. Now that is a real classic song, when u go40 yrs without hearing the song and still remember every word. Thx Joe for writing this timeless song and ty for posting it on youtube.

Because Joe South better than Harry Nilsson. That's like asking "how is R.E.M. - Everybody Hurts better than Garry Glitter - Rock & Roll Party?

@marksletters Song of the Year is awarded to the songwriter, not the performer. Everybody's Talkin' wasn't nominated for Song of the Year. But if it had been and had won, the award would have gone to Fred Neil, the songwriter.

Had the thrill of meeting Joe South last night and hearing him sing this song live. He sat at our booth for the rest of the evening. Didn't know at that time how many other songs he's written. A very talented man!!!

@MatBroadwayJunior91 HI, Yes, this is the original written by Joe South. Joe is a very warm, personable gentleman. Joe wrote numerous hit songs that many other artists recorded including Billy Joe Royal, Elvis Presley, Deep Purple, Lynn Anderson. AVM has most recently done his song 'Hush' with Joe's blessings. Joe actually played his original guitar riff at the beginning of the AVM version. We feel blessed to have the opportunity to work with this great songwriter!

Hi Joe South Fans! See Joe South at the beginning of AVM's new 'Hush' video (posted on YouTube). Joe graced us by playing his original intro on our 2011 re-release of his classic! Joe says of AVM's version, "It made the hair on the back of my neck stand up!" Thank you, Joe. You are an amazing man! God Bless!

This was a hit back in the nice spring of 1969...when ''Aquarius/Let the sunshine in'' by the 5th Dimension was at #1 for 6 weeks....and ''Hair'' by the Cowsills...was at #2 same time...love those 2 songs!! After a very dreary winter..spring of 1969 was a huge relief.... BTW..this song title is not to be confused with the Fall 1975 hit by the 'Spinners'..in their own ''Games people play'....Maybe some of yous here heard THAT song as well......((nope- this is NOT ''Casey Kasem'' here--...))

The only version which can compete with this, though in a complete different style, is the one recorded by Dionne Warvick in gospel style. I have it in a cd but don't know how to post it as it seems unavailable here in the tube.
