Don't usually like this sort of music. First heard this song when Billy Crudup sings along to it to the jukebox in the film Jesus' Son. It's since become one of my favourite songs, very effective.
I love these oldies and people rly should listent to the words he is saying. this is america and I myself share my part of america proudly with anoyne who respects this great country. No matter who, what or what color we are :)
Simply put...BEAUTIFUL!!!!! I've always loved this song!!! I used to listen to my family playing this song as my brothers and I were growing up! Thanks for posting!!!
EPIC.... There are no words to describe how good this is.... it leaves me breathless... love it... could listen to to Tex all day... infact today I will..ha.... LOVE IT!!!
This song is deep, I hear the teaching of the Hon,. Elijah Muhammad, "Hit in the head and left for dead" and "Lost and Found" Joe Tex Join the Nation Of Islam I believe in 68' and was given the name Yusef Haziez, He never receive the credit he deserved. One of our finest.
@akilmosq24 you are so right - you are smart to pick up on that - i me imam yusef hazier in 1975 in chicago - at the temple right after the hon. elijah mohammad's funeral
I'm mexican an think is so cool how music like this can make people come together and enjoy beautiful music like this ........ :) wish i was on this time ....
What happened to music today? Its so vulgar and meaningless. There really isn't any artists anymore. I think the music industry needs to go back to square one.
@N8iveNik i'm not saying you're wrong, but it just couldnt stay on one place, they all wanted to astonish new generations, but so many efforts to do it arose the music we have now
@N8iveNik I totally agree. I don't listen or pay any attention to today's music. I just listen to music like this in my good old record & CD collection.
@N8iveNik Totally agree with you. Was changing channels the other day and stopped for a moment at one of them music channels to see what they broadcast these days. I couldn't believe the shallowness I heard. But unfortunately there seems to be huge demand for this vulgarity and shallowness......
@N8iveNik nothing has happened to music today, it may have evolved and changed but there's no more crap out now than there was 30-40 years ago or whatever. you're just forgetting about all the vulgar, useless crap they used to put out because it's easy to forget about those artists and songs when they don't stand the test of time. don't be one of those "shit was so much better back in the day..." kind of assholes. shit doesn't change nearly as much as we'd all like to think.
@impressioned OK, I'll agree that there was just as much crap 30-40 years ago as there is now, but where's the good music today? I understand that styles change, but please give me the link to a modern song that sounds as good as this. I've thought that some of the talented independents would be posting here on Youtube, but I've spent a lot of time searching with very little success.
@GuaraldiGuy it's all just personal opinion man... i could post hundreds of links here, but they're songs that i love and you might not. they have no real connection to this one and it doesn't necessarily mean they're good or bad, just songs that i love. we each have to simply find and enjoy the music that resonates best with us as individuals and quit whinging about the art that other people create and enjoy. just because u think it isn't creative or original doesn't mean it isn't. happy huntin
@thundertower What are you talking about? Yes I'm 34 and I listen to music from times that are older than me and I listen to music from today. I like diversity.
@N8iveNik dude you're not that old, jeez. What's with you 29-early 30s thinkin they're so old, man that mid life crisis is hittin you early. You're not even that old yet at mid 40s. Take it easy.
Great work of art. He's listing FACTS, for instance, "Given till sundown to get out of town." Look up "Sundown town" on Wikipedia. "In some cases, signs were placed at the town's borders (like) Hawthorne, California's which read "N----r, Don't Let The Sun Set On YOU In Hawthorne" in the 1930s.[3] (But eighty years later, their grandchildren elected a black man as their President.) Mr Tex says the Black family's break down in the "Great Migration" North is a disaster like Jim Crow. Great art.
I don't know if one already exists, but if there is no Joe Tex Memorial Fan Club, I want to be the first member. This is one helluva song. Thanx for posting.
i believe every word he's saying. hit in the head?? who can make that up. i love it. sincerity is gone in today's music..its gone in society as a whole, especially out here in cali. ONE LOVE. this is the shit.
this music is the music music. Man, music music is this music and I know music.

I always liked and listened this song
but as my official language is not English, I never paid attention to the letter(lyric), and I just liked the sound of music
but today I decided to pay attention to the lyric
and I was overcome by an intense emotion
That vision, this wonderful man, about love
I'm crying with happiness because all the words he says, now make sense to me
after all the pains of love, I'm reconstructing me, looking for love that I never saw inside myself
