Singles A's & B's Vol. 4 1972-1976
This fourth volume captures Joe Tex working with pronounced funk arrangements by the early-to-mid 70s. His spoken introductions and measured vocal delivery over driving bass and synth create an almost cinematic quality. 'Rain Go Away' and 'Woman Stealer' show his comfort in full funk territory, mixing genuine musicality with commercial appeal. The production gets funkier, the storytelling sharper. This era shows Tex adapting to changing soul and funk landscapes while maintaining his distinctive identity. Essential for completists and anyone tracing funk and soul's closer relationship in the 1970s.
