And more from the great man from Texas!....Joe’s recordings in the Shoals area, Memphis, Miami and Nashville and their sessions seldom produced soul music of anything less than the highest quality. It’s ironic that Joe will always be best remembered by the UK public as the creator and performer of ‘Ain’t Gonna Bump No More (With No Big Fat Woman)’ but, if truth be told, it’s still a classic Joe Tex story song, albeit set to a disco beat. Many of the greatest moments in southern soul occur in Joe’s classic Dial 45s and album tracks. His consistency is almost unparalleled among his peers in what is a very small group of 1960s black American singers who also wrote their own songs. No matter how many times one might play Joe’s very best recordings, there always seems to be something new to enjoy in them and that is truly the mark of greatness as far as I’m concerned. It’s incredible to think that Joe has been gone for more than 40 years. Happily, his recorded legacy will always be there to remind us and future generations of his greatness.
