Joe Tex in Spain - 1969 (3)

[@roughrider2023]

I met Joe Tex when I was 5y/o at a NOI meeting. Still remember his energy!

[@muzikluver2525]

A great performer who was an unsung hero of funk and dance.

[@drmortal9168]

That mike trick is smooth as fuck!

[@a.k.a.theruggedmanchild9685]

Joe Tex is smooth as fuck!

[@elray2446]

I new him well cause he use to play his guitar at my dad's store.😊

[@Kinsale1333]

Caught him several times in the '60s at The Apollo Theater. Another black genius all but forgotten today. 😢 Like Freddie King. So glad I caught him in those days.

[@cbjrcher]

Makes you wonder who had the moves first, Joe or James. At least we know where Michael get his moves

[@gregbattles4742]

Joe did

[@diodio9494]

James got his moves from joe

[@FUNNYMANERICWHITE]

@@gregbattles4742 how do you know. I heard James was dancing way before joe

[@FUNNYMANERICWHITE]

@@diodio9494 how do you know

[@youngrellblues]

@@FUNNYMANERICWHITE he was dancing before him but he got his moves from Joe and James got the big break first so James got the bigger opportunity to showcase them. Joe was the first black Acrobat in his state.

[@MrJimc2]

Joe Tex was overshadowed by the awesomeness of James Brown but he was on equal footing when it comes to being a great entertainer.

[@Soundofsilence-j4d]

JAMES BROWN COPIED HIS MOVES. BUT JOE TEX WAS HELL OF ENTERTAINOR. HE CAN TELL STORY. MISS GUY

[@smoothlockbruh3410]

dude Joes dancing was so smooth

[@paulbryans1732]

Man what a natural entertainer! Too bad Joe died at only 47,,, wish I had been lucky enough to have seen him perform live

[@helo86]

Many people didn't know that Joe Tex and Jackie Wilson could both dance almost as good as James Brown.

[@863NightOwl]

Tex said, his moves were stole by Brown

[@_D.2912]

@@863NightOwl they were

[@JA_WILL]

@@_D.2912 That has always been the case regardless the industry. They said Milton Berle stole all his jokes and that Hulk Hogan and Dusty Rhodes too some of their act from Thunderbolt Patterson as examples.

[@ctbt1832]

Our do you mean James Brown can dance almost good as them

[@Truesong922]

And little will john

[@ingmarvanderhoek6314]

Can't get enough of this. What a band!

[@metaphysicalministries6863]

James brown ain't got nothing on him and he stole his moves lol 😆

[@karenhansford2153]

My uncle Rashe bandleader💝!

[@cjf3540]

My uncle Donald Cadillac Henry playing first sax on left👍🏽♥️

[@karenhansford2153]

[@HopeIanHope]

What a great band.

[@alancard67]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@rafaelcarabulea7242]

Big big talent

[@JerkinTime]

alucinante! Joe Tex menudo monstruo

[@w.n.sumler]

Folks gonna hate, but ya boy James stole this man's moves. All JB did was just put his 2¢ on it. Joe's mic trick was just too smooth. The same splits except Joe's split was just smooth. Even though he slightly pushes up on 'em, but the footwork is astounding.

[@floridasoul2000]

What kind of mic stand is he using?

[@helo86]

James Brown got the capes & hair from Little Richard.

[@soulchosen]

Excellente! Me encanta Joe Tex. ktf

[@oldermusiclover]

DOES ANY KNOW THE NAMES OF THE BAND MEMBERS THANKS

[@Midnightstomper]

Que grande!!!

[@brodocbetty4856]

Who's on the drums, He looks familiar ???

[@tejanoenamorao]

! Hasta se quito los sapatos ! He done even took his shoes off ! He musta bought that pair of shoes over there in Madrid. New shoes will do a number on your kornz, let alone your kanklez !

[@jorgequiroga7746]

Un fiera 100%!

[@ArmandoKeeper]

great

[@nolanwalls9894]

Y is joe text not unsung

[@fitzgeraldanthony9333]

I'll be!! So James Brown wasn't original like I initially thought. He basically plagiarized Joe Tex in voice and stage moves. I admire James Brown but after seeing this and doing some research, The luster of James Brown isn't there for me anymore.

[@epshot]

i'm flabbergasted

[@rafaelcarabulea7242]

So.. even james brown was inspired from this talentated man....

[@tonyaguilar8937]

Having watched both since the 60's its hard to make the case that brown stole moves from tex. Brown was much faster(watch tami show) and tex never did full splits nor the one leg shimmy. They were both great entertainers but Brown is still the standard by which everyone else is measured.

[@antwancoley8981]

James brown tock clyde from joe

[@melvinpruitt3907]

I'd love to see Chris Brown try this while really singing and not lip syncing.

[@HopeIanHope]

Joe began before James, and James copied Joe's moves.

[@nolanwalls9894]

Everybody steal . Th8s who James brown stole from

[@weotalks2810]

Joe TEX IMITATED JAMES BROWN, that's why they WERE ENEMIES among other THINGS

[@androlibre9661]

that's up to debate....Joe was around before James and accused James of stealing his moves

[@hwaliber]

Joe Never Ever imitated James!!
