If Joe Simon had for some reason not recorded much after the mid-'60s, this is how he would be remembered, a soul journeyman, one of many good singers in search of a style and excellent material. Of course, he found that in the latter half of the 1960s. But on this 24-track compilation of very rare sides for Hush, Vee Jay, and other labels, & a few tracks when he was with the Golden Tones. in the early and mid-'60s, we hear a good and very young Joe laying down the foundations for his future stardom. Some rare out takes included.

AAAAAHH! This guy could have sung the russian national anthem and I'd still say "what a voice". Groping for words to describe how he sounds, best I can do is mellifluous i.e. having a pleasant and fluid sound, flowing like honey. Joe Simon, one of the best of my listening life.
Most excellent
