  • this music is the music music.  Man, music music is this music and I know music.

  • who else is here because of quentin tarantino?? lol

  • they just dont do music this way anymore

  • Comment removed

  • wow Tex felt this one, I love it 

  • 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 :)

  • +100000

  • 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

  • thankyou thankyou joe wherever you may be xxxxxxx

  • it's almost like he's speaking compared to singing, but it's so perfect. You can tell he feel's it.

  • The first time I heard this, I totally thought it was a woman singing XD

  • what a great song!!!

    It's a pity that the good music doesn't exist anymore... I'm agree with u N8iveNik

  • chills

  • Asolutely mesmerizing - Joe Tex-the singing Rex

  • 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  Preach it!!!!

  • @N8iveNik I agree 100%

  • @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 tutti frutti is about sex the term rock n roll is old black slang for fucking music has always been vulgar

  • @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 yo, man.. check out " Jamie Lidell; Sharon Jones & the Dap kings; Eli

    "Paperboy" Reed; Duffy.. there is is a ACTually a pretty big resurgence in REAL

    Soul music... but it IS true- ya sure don't hear too many singers as classy as Joe!!

    Geez.... he was AWEsome....

  • @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......

  • @TemiZee : Very true !!

  • @N8iveNik singers today aint got the balls to be this honest

  • @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

  • @N8iveNik age: 34. Are you fucking kidding me?

  • @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.

  • Thanks for posting this. Funny how after 40 years, Joe Tex's songs are as good as ever. Nothing nowadays can compare!

  • Wow!! Great stuff. . Check out what the TREWS a Canadian band are doing with this tune. What a find.

  • That's going to church, just beautiful, and straight from the heart. Can't get this kind of music these days. straight up jewel ya!

  • 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.

  • Awesome sound!

  • Damn straight up, the best preacher man in the business, Mr. Joe Tex. He was the man.

  • i love this kind of music

  • we need this good soul music back!

  • thanks for posting this. greatest singer ever. totally underrated.
