Diamond Joe - Moanin' and Screamin' - Parts 1 and 2 - aka Moaning and Screaming

No one has the lyrics of this song?

[ChezKiva]

Like a moth to the flame, I too was instantly drawn deep into the heartfelt groove on this tune. Spirituality, reincarnation, karma, -whatever you believe about the next world, you can't deny the fact that some folks just keep speaking for years beyond the grave...

"One of these days,...

@ChezKiva Thank you! That is what I want to hear. That is why I'm doing this. I want the obscurity of these artists of the 20th century to fade away and to see the light of day in the 21st century. Without the internet, this chance meeting of the 3 of us would have never happened.

Yes this is his picture, I happen to be his niece!!

[9thWardJukebox]

@acommodore Please accept my belated condolences. Your uncle is a prime example of how some artists were cast aside after those who had the powers and the record labels were done with them. Just look at the comments on this song and the amount of views. Everyday someone discovers his wonderful music. Your uncle will give pleasure to many around the world with the music he gave us and will do so for many years to come; this I know and promise. May he rest in peace.

[acommodore]

@9thWardJukebox Your words are very kind and appreciated. Thanks so much for posting his music and recognizing his talent.

[9thWardJukebox]

@acommodore You're welcome and it is truly an honor to show him off to the rest of the world. Take care.

Honestly one of the greatest songs to come out of NOLA....

[MrDanielGosling]

Wicked, ace, the best. I hope that IS actually a picture of him because putting a face to a name is a nice thing for me.

[9thWardJukebox]

@MrDanielGosling It was the picture that was used in his obituary. Another sad loss for us.

[9thWardJukebox]

@jukejointblues Yep, it sucks. We got this year off to a horrible start with the sudden loss of Bobby Charles with just a few days into the new year. Then Marva Wright right before jazz Fest. We've had worse years but there just so few of our legends left.

[MrPHBarr1919]

Diamond Joe does this wery well His voice is quite similar with Nina Simone`s some times.

[9thWardJukebox]

@MrPHBarr1919 Lots of stories about Joe but for the most part, they're very sad.
