One of Joe Turners best recorded songs (Oke - She - Moke - She -Pop) Play it on my radio show ....

[cw1310]

I can't find him doing TV Mama, on You Tube.

[cw1310]

@cw1310 I am having the same problem. That's favorite song of his.

[pinkwontons]

Brilliant

[NoVARon2]

Big Joe and T-Bone likely did do some gigs together. they recorded together along with Otis Spann on an album aptly named Super Black Blues, which was a true supersession. It was issued overseas on CD but not sure if still in print.

[Juliasblues]

Wow ! Fabulous ! Go cats Go !!...PeaceLoveBlues

[Mounhas]

Would have liked to have seen Big Joe and T-Bone Walker playing together, wonder if it ever happened, they both travelled through swing blues jazz and rock and roll, and both had knowing leering smiles !!

[southie231]

Big Joe.....absolutely awesome!!

[mw311623]

The song is "Oke She Moke She Pop" from 1953.

[jiveaces]

incomparable!

[oldshagger2]

The lyrics on most of Big Joe's stuff were so amusing and fun. Added to his FABULOUS voice--well, you just can't beat it.

[mrtwang32]

It doesn't get better than this...great band, great solos, beat, Joe at peak form, and in the era when this brand of R&B was HAPPENING...great song too...thanks

[mementom]

It's baritone saxist Paul Williams Orchestra rocking behind Big Joe!

[chas63]

I'm sure if this was mentioned, but the actual title of the song is "Oke She Moke She Mop"

[kark56cc]

What an honour to be able to hear sounds like this.

The band innovative, professional, brilliant - Joe with the wickedest voice I've heard.

Maybe I'm dead 'cos Joe's music sure is out ' this world!

[live4jazz]

Turner always played with the best musicians. His sessions are consistently tight!

[JosephNScott]

"Turner always played with the best musicians. His sessions are consistently tight!" I think he had a lot of respect from musicians because even when he played with unknowns they rose to the occasion.

[cnevitt]

He even did some sessions/releases with an obscure Houston jump blues/guitarist/singer who by the name of Goree Carter (right around 1950). If you're into that sort of thing--google Goree Carter--you'll find some audio samples somewhere.

[TAMARLANE]

Like a BIG WHEEL in a Georgia cotton field.

[haleyfan]

Yeah you're right Big Joe's earliest stuff is the greatest, but his late 1940s-1960s records are good too.

[evanginzburg]

I saw Big Joe Turner live in NY back in the 80s and he was GREAT. One of the links between big band and rock and roll...
