Joe Tex - Set Me Free

Joe did a Country album in the late sixties called Soul Country. This song is a cover of a Curly Putman record but Joe adds his own little rap.

Wow. Charlie Rich uses the same words in the narrated portion(s) of his version of "Set me Free". I like Joe's.

I didn't know that - I've never heard the original so I assumed Joe made that bit up. More likely he followed Charlie Rich's version.

im 'looking for a song perfomed by Joe Tex. Its about a suicide over a bridge, smthng like that. If someone can help me!!Thx

I think you mean his version of Ode to Billy Joe. It comes from the same LP as this song.

I like Joe Tex; but I think Esther Phillips version is better.
