	Joe Tex - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Joe Tex (born Joseph Arrington Jnr, in Baytown, Texas, on 8 August 1933; died in Navasota, Texas, on 13 August 1982) was an American soul singer most popular during the 1960s and 1970s.

	Pop Thought -- Mike Gold
		Now as then, Joe’s work goes straight for the gut, pulls me into his characters and leaves no doubt as to how each feels about the space he or she occupies within the story.
		Joe has continued in the medium and, lately, has been best known for two collaborations with his wife Muriel: The Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art, and the infinite number of Kubert Kids who seem to produce the lion’s share of the nation’s better comics output these days.
		But even at 78 Joe’s work as a storyteller has been as strong as ever in several graphic novels over the past decade, including the hard firsthand look at the realities of modern day warfare in Fax From Sarajevo and his gut-wrenching account of the Warsaw ghetto uprising, Yossel April 19, 1943.

		Buddy was sure he could help Joe find a successful formula, even though it might take a while to develop.
		It was the first of two dozen such songs Tex would place on the charts over the rest of the decade.
		Joe Tex did return, however, and as Joe Tex. In 1977, he had one final hit, a comedy record called "Ain't Gonna Bump No More (With No Big Fat Woman)." It reached #12 on the pop charts and #7 on the R&B charts.

	Handbook of Texas Online: ARRINGTON, JOSEPH, JR.
		Joe Tex, Yusef Hazziez], African-American soul singer, son of Joseph Arrington, Sr., and Cherie (Jackson), was born at Rogers, Texas, on August 8, 1935.
		In songs and ballads, in particular, he slowed the tempo slightly and started "rapping," that is, speaking verse that told the story in the middle of the song, before repeating the refrain and ending the song.
		The biggest hits of Joe Tex included "Hold On To What You Got," "Papa Was Too," "Skinny Legs and All," and "South Country," an album of Country and Western songs; his biggest seller was "I Gotcha," which went platinum (made 1,000,000 sales) in 1971.

	Deep Groove Encyclopedia - Joe Tex
		Few performers could light up a crowd like Joe Tex. This pillar of soul was born Joseph Arrington in 1933; he chose Tex as his stage name to give recognition to his Texas roots.
		For all his success on the soul charts, there was more than a hint of country in Joe Tex. His frequent topics of infidelity and familiy life were common country themes, his sessions were recorded with country and soul musicians, and country music legend Buddy Killen served as his producer.
		When Tex returned to the stage, he scored the biggest hit of his career with the very funky "I Gotcha." At the height of the song's popularity, he again quit the music business to focus on preaching, changing his name to Joseph Haaziz.

		“Tex” was and still is so popular in Italy that some people there use to say that every true Italian family must treasure some of the “Tex” books in their home.
		So, I introduced Joe to “Tex” and told him how much I was proud of it that my company handles and controls all the publishing rights to “Tex” in the entire world – outside Italy.
		However, I must mention here that through the years of his work on “Tex” – when he was delivering installments of his original art to my office – Joe kept telling me how much he was enjoying working on it and how much he liked the script by Claudio Nizzi.

	Hold What You've Got by Joe Tex Songfacts
		Tex was on the verge of having his contract with Dial Records torn up after three years of futility when label owner and producer Buddy Killen suggested on more try, but only if Tex agreed to follow Killen's instructions to the letter.
		When Tex entered the studio to record this, he didn't have a melody yet, and he could barely speak with a hoarse voice.
		Killen suggested that the words be matched to a gospel song, "Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty" to take advantage of the Christmas season, and when Tex failed to hit the high notes while trying to record the song, Killen suggested that he merely talk through the part with the high notes.

	Joe Tex : I've Got to Do a Little Better - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Another rock-solid album from Joe Tex, I've Got To Do A Little Better was his third full-length release of 1966, but Tex showed no signs of slowing down or losing his breath on these twelve songs.
		Buddy Killen's production is admirably malleable, knowing when to go for subtlety and when to rave on, and Tex's rich and passionate tenor rings out clear and true on each and every tune.
		One of the very best albums of Tex's Southern soul period, I've Got To Do A Little Bit Better suggests the kind of care and careful thought that rarely went into LP's of the period, and it's well worth seeking out for fans.
