Joe Tex-Show Me

[nitropost]

1964....1965 not sure but it was in a town called Salaberry de Valleyfield in Québec were I still live that Joe came and did a superb and smashing show in front a bunch french canadian kids and about four buses full of english canadians from the suburbs of Montreal.......the place totaly exploded .

[Dutchboobs8]

This is great man thanks.

[originalkillerguitar]

damn !!! what's the hurry hahaha? That's the fastest speed I've ever heard this played. Joe must have needed to got take a pee break hahahaha!

[MrHansAryan]

Wilmer and the Dukes (western NY fab band in the late 60's / early 70's) did this and brought the house down every time! fabulous song and done with the alto sax and gutzy vocals - damne - the women would go nutz! (we guys liked that part to!) Last time i saw Wilmer do this was a t the Inferno (Glen Park, Williamsville, NY) - it was like this video LIVE! then the Inferno was tourched by the city fathers who deemed black music "subversive". Well, i'm still white and vote Republican....

[timjmoran]

WOW!! TOO Much !!! Mind Blowing to think Joe had his own Show- How Cool was THAT??? Was this a regional show?? I assume late 60's? Where did it originate from?? THANKS for posting- a BONE-AFRIED Soul Classic, to be sure!!!

[crackfarm76]

show me a man that's got a good woman!!!

[rocksinger45]

Joe is the man with a rock'en great band ...this song is going into my favorites.

[lordkoos]

funky drummer!

[Heidibear76]

Underrated ... 

[thatfingio]

@Heidibear76 No kidding :)

[ensconse]

Is this clip out there on DVD?

[soulchosen]

Pure genius!

[ponygyrrl]

wishes y'all who are debating would just listen to the music!!

[Khultan]

There will never be performances like this again. Never.

[Atomank68]

@Khultan. Your preaching to the pantheon. When you say "Never", you are on the trail of an injutsice done to many rock-in-roll pioneers who were African-Americans!!!

Though it seems uncomfortable to some in even these times to speak about-particularly- racial injustice in the entertainment industry, understand that the image of a powerful Africano "doin' his thing" was too much for the "establishment"!!!

[Atomank68]

@Khultan (Cont'd) This was applied to Mr. Arrinington, the delectable Carla

Thomas, and even Louis "Pops" Armstrong, to name a few. My dear fellow, i tell you this : If it weren't for Don Cornelineius' SOUL TRAIN", Don Kirchner's "ROCK CONCERT', nor Burt Sugarman's "MIDNIGHT SPECIAL", many of the 'seventies' Rock-Soul-Funk-"Ambient" acts would have never been known to the general public, much less my my humble self. (Cont'd).

[tkplaymobil]

i came from stevo's twitter

[lclaughton]

who is the bass player and drummer on this track anyone please? Also same question on ain't gonna bump no more?? thanks a bunch !!

[ThePlaygroundTV]

dont make em like they used to

[OwrKeeng]

@ThePlaygroundTV Women?

[tinpotintellect]

Sublime !!

[MODTRASH]

Great sound!

[Atomank68]

Please excuse . I may have been born a little too late, but when the heck was there ever a "Joe Tex Show", and where was it aired? Certainly nowhere near where I grew up!!!The only time I ever saw Joe perform was on "American Bandstand" singing his superhit signature "Skinny Legs an' All"!!!

[gaforb]

@Atomank68 no, it's Joe Tex, the sng is called Show Me. there was no Joe tex show although i mis-read that as well =P

[Atomank68]

@gaforb (Cont'd). And further, while ppl in Britain may have enjoyed seeing the fifties pioneers of "Doo-Wop" well into the sixties, we here in the Us were deprived of these these 'legacy' performance footage of the the fifties from being aired in the sixties, and seventies, and eighties on TV, advertisement, etc, that was until the early eighties Nike-sponsored Bo Didley "Bo,-You-Don't-Know-Jack" commercials!!!

[Atomank68]

@gaforb @gaforb (Cont'd).  Otherwise, we young'uns were led to believe that white invented the majority of "Rock,-Blended Harmony" music!!! Just like the so -called 70s 'DISCO ERA". Actually the disco revival, as we who are not "GenX-ers know full well the the "DISCOTEQUE'" (for truly, it was an innovation of dance MC presentation) started in Paris around '62 by a female named Regine. The 70s were a 'disco revival', and carried exclusively by African American "HOUSE PARTY" venues. from 1971!

The legendary Joe Tex! ^_^

[jackiedre]

hiya i'm from auckland nz and i was just wondering is Joe Tex the singer of ummm. I'm not quite sure what its called I think diggin' the garden, or pickin' your plums and cry over spilt milk, last time i heard these songs I was a little girl, i'm 43 now and have been tryin' to find these songs since, if he is then is there anyway for me to get them please please let someone have these songs...cheers

[hibiscusfreak]

To jackiedre...Yes, those are 2 songs by Joe Tex. I'm sure you can find them on Amazon. I just did a Google search on the words from your post and got lots of links. Good luck!

[jackiedre]

thank you so much hibiscus....you rock

[hibiscusfreak]

You're welcome!

[jpinnacle]

Holy crap, thank you x 1,000 for posting this! James Brown had nothing on the legendary Joe Tex,

[Xpinger]

I love Joe Tex he had a sensational dynamic in his live performances IMHO putting him up there with Jackie Wilson and James Brown

[Sysminsays]

What a talent!!! I love the Beatles but I know John and Paul was diggin and respecting what Joe Tex and James Brown put in the world's ears. This was from the heart...believe that.

[MREworks]

My name is Monica Emery and I am proud to currently be working with Joe Tex II on a tribute to his late father. In my opinion, we are blessed that Joe Tex left behind a legacy of music that speaks to the heart, preaches to the mind and touches the Soul.

[arringander]

My cousin was a great entertainer...RIP!

[zatchbellking]

RIP grandad even though i was a baby when u saw mw i still remember your face i love u and ill see u in heaven one day : BRIAN ARRINGTON

[MrFreeman420]

[intruderart]

Love classic R&B like this. Genius!

[bluesgirl62]

Truly Wonderful!

[polaroideye]

genius.

[sharoneus]

LOL! I loved Joe Tex when I was in high school and after I graduated, skinny legs and all!

[cool3465]

great

[androidstar]

What great music! Joe Tex was one of the all-time greats of the Sixties! Thanks for posting this! Cheers! it's a 5***** for sure!

[dleppard19]

saw The Black Crowes cover this a few weeks ago...good stuff!

[Grip489]

thanks aunt frant for showin me the love of these groups and your man Mr John Coltrane

[edudrepus]

That was TIGHT!

[motown250]

great soul

[northerngirl72]

Brill Joe!!

[shugg28]

I remember when Joe Tex came to Ashtabula, Ohio, he was at the Ward 3 club here and he sang Ain't gonna bump no more with no big fat woman, and my mother did the bump with him, she still has the picture of that moment.

[revup67]

ahhh, that was great - excellent quality and that drummer is faster than Marky Ramone.

[jor99912]

I don't the annology to rap. I don't know

of any black music that I hate, I don't know

of any music, classical, swing, big band, country, callieco, blue grass, Sinatra style

that I don't like! I HATE CRAP"". We had rap, we invented it, but it didn't go

like today! What you hear Tex doing that you call Rap

is what We, Us, James Brown and Female Preacher Lynn Collins called, PREACHING""

[Noor22000]

I agree. Today's rap is nothing--less than nothing. It is a bastardization of music from the heart and soul. Even the non-filthy stuff is juvenile whining and complaints worthy of two year olds, not a genre.

[OldeSkool1]

This guy could work a mic stand like nobody's business.

[jamesleystra]

i love this joint

[lrush777]

One of the most under rated entertainer I ever seen, Mr Joe Tex. This man was pure fun to watch when I was little kid in the 1960's and 1970's.

[THEORIGINALMOJOMAN]

RIGHT ON!! YOU KNOW IT. When I was "ON THE AIR" one of my most requested OLDIES. THEMOJOMAN dot COM

[sweetpetebrown]

It was said that when they toured together, James stole some of Joe's dance moves. They had a rivalry going in the 60's Doesn't make a difference anyway they're both great.

[esgotos]

Very very good! thank you for this video!

[PtolemyJones]

Show me a man who knows a great song when he hears one, because this is one... Grew up listening to this guy, King Curtis, wicked, wicked Pickett, all on my Dad's reel-to-reel. Lucky me

[THEORIGINALMOJOMAN]

How about WILSON PICKETT doing 'IT'S TOO LATE" themojoman(.)com

[recordguy4321]

Now that's a soul man Dad. Joe and his great revue use to play Leo's casino in cleveland bacin the 60's and would appear on Upbeat. Joe was heads above the rest back then, and yet he could take a country tune and make it his own. Who gonna take that woman with the skinny legs???

[pinkync]

Excellent energy...always loved it!

[talktalk2]

Truly wonderful.

Joe, Otis, JB and Isaac were slick--they got the best musicians around for their bands.

[papeshortstop92]

Chi mi manda "I gotcha" di Joe Tex per la mi' zia?

Grazieeeee!!!!

[papeshortstop92]

Chi mi manda "I gotcha" di Joe Tex, per la mi' zia?

Grazieeee!!!!

[Tayfancier]

I remember this guy from when I was a teenager in Houston. He was popular in Texas, Naturally.

[sweetpetebrown]

Alot of people have said that James Brown stole this guys act and Joe never got the credit he disserved.

[Jeepster46]

Come on, you don't believe this, James came first. Joe was awesome.

[Mongo76]

Actually they were out at the same time .... joe just took longer to get a hit but he was touring with Ben E King, and Solomon Burke back in the 50's as well ....the same time James started ...

[samsarman]

yea i can see james stealing from joe,james kinda stole from sam cooke.on sams lable sar theres a song that was recorded back in 63 called "a womans in a mans world" by patience valentine,james reworked the song and bam created "a mans world".

[Chambersstevens]

What a great performer. It's a shame more people don't know who he is. I only learned about Joe a little over a year ago. Check out his Greatest hits. The man has some classic songs.

[reggiemunch]

Phenomenal-mic tricks unbelievable!

[pirrung123]

who that druumer? he is GREAT

[newglov]

superb. Any chance of Under Your Powerful Love ?

[xcuteface]

this is the best of r&b...love this man to death, also l was fortunate enough to have been his friend many yrs.ago!We met in Montreal, Canada 1967.

[xcuteface]

this is fabulous love,love,love joe tex. always have!

[Holyriver]

I like this song!. The drums are nice.

[lance007lance]

What an infectious performer Joe Tex was. Great quality all round with this clip. Thanks for putting it up.

[xcuteface]

bring on all the joe tex clips out there that are available, can't get enough of him!!

[SerbianCommie]

this is too speedy

[ryanspraker213]

thats just the right speed!

[TheMotownAmbassador]

One of the best songs by the Atlantic Soul Legend. "Show Me A Woman Whose Got A Good Man"

[karategirl2400]

I know Joe Tex's Wife

[xcuteface]

which one?

[karategirl24]

he has 2 i know mrs.arrington

[taqn]

that`s one of the fines soul stompers of the 60`s,

eddie & the hot rods did a great version of this tune

on their 1st album

[lance007lance]

Hi taqn , I haven't heard Eddie & The Hot Rods doing a version of "Show Me". I've heard The Foundations version from their 1967 album. That was quite a good version.

[taqn]

yeah,i know the foundations version,that`s a good

one too.

[Alquit]

Great band and I love the drummer and of course Joe but this change of groove they've put on this song doesn't really work does it.

[BUFFDIVO]

Does any one have, "Ain't Gonna Bump No Mo'"?! I LOVE THAT SONG!!! BTW, this is the man that James Brown(RIP)said was his major influence!! True story!

[LShabazz]

check out my interview with Joe Tex Jr. his eldest son

"The Lance Shabazz Show # 138 Part 1, part 2, part 3

Joe Tex simply the best

[rogeroverclarence]

Just a bit too fast, I think.
