Singles A's & B's Vol. 2 1967-1968
Joe Tex was a singular soul and funk innovator—a preacher-turned-singer with conversational delivery and deep rhythmic sense. This Shout! Records collection compiles his singles from 1967-68, capturing him at creative peak. Tex brought vernacular speech into soul music, telling stories over tight funk grooves. Tracks like 'Show Me' balance social commentary with irresistible rhythm. His influence on funk and talk-singing runs deep—you hear him throughout early hip-hop and 70s soul-funk. This era predates his biggest commercial hits but shows the foundation of his genius. Essential for understanding soul's evolution toward funk.
