I loved all Joe Tex songs, I often called him "The Preacher Man" cause he always had some advice or anecdote in his songs. Miss him, he was very talented. I am listening to this in 2019.

Love this!! It takes me back to my early teens. Around the same time as Arthur Conlye's 'Sweet Soul Music'. It's a shame they don't make music like this any more.

Ivan Ward
