Looking Back With Joe Simon, From The Chicken Coop To Top Of The Charts

[@fubarexress6359]

I loved his attitude. He was a great dude. He lived a long life. I heard a lot of his songs as a kid.

[@KINGJAMESNYC]

#RIP Soul Brother Joe Simon , One Of The Greatest Voices Of Soul Music. Underrated To Most But Legendary By All Means.

[@rosecoleman9090]

One ☝️ of the Greatest Singers that ever lived! May your Soul Rest In Paradise Bishop Joe Simon 🙏🏾❤️😘😘

[@donstrong1717]

He was okay. I wouldn't say he was great! I disagree with what he was saying about the Jackson 5. He must have been smoking something then because the Jackson 5 was the hottest thing right from the beginning. Given some invisible God, all the credit for his success. Maybe he should have considered that his success was due to his own willpower and drive to succeed. Becoming a Christian was the biggest mistake he ever made✝️🤔?

[@IBumpg]

I was enthralled by this interview. I always remembered Joe Simon as a great singer/performer. It's good to hear straight from these artists. The real story is usually educational and this was. God is great. Thanks to all who made this information possible.

[@rafaelramirez1507]

Loved this music of this gentleman Joe Simon ✨ ... greetings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷

[@Tiffanytwhite]

My Dad Pastored a church in Coldwater, Ms some years ago and he had Joe Simon down there to preach one Sunday. Great memories

[@b.g.960]

My parent and father law they love them some Joe Simon as I got older I start player his music and still player his song luv u

[@reginaterrell6415]

Prayers went up for this icon... I learned about Mr. Joe through my mom uncle's & other day members. As a lil girl I was the disc jokey in the house while in another part the grown ups would sit down and play cards listen to music... I just wished those that are gone would have answered the call to salvation... Praying for those that remain...

I love me some Joe Simon, back in the days, my goodness, my older siblings, they had so many of his albums, 45s, tapes, Cleopatra Jones Movie, the love scene between Tamara Dotson and Bernie Casey was the bomb! I stop playing cards, because I realized I was the "Ace of Spade"! And still is, lol, and when they found one of my bf's body, all he had in his pocket was a, "Nickel and a Nail". Long live the great Joe Simon!

Lord Joltin Joe Simon was a big thing here in Brew City Milwaukee Wisconsin; "Chocking Kind" was my favorite song; my dad's favorite song was Nine Pound Steel. It's so good to see him. We used to sit on the porch and listen to what they called Soul Music and the Blues on the radio. Women loved Joe Simon back then

I've been a big fan of Joe Simon since I was young. My Mom had a record of his called "Drowning in the sea of love"

[@MD-DLive]

It was sampled by Gangstarr for "You know my Steez"!💥💥💥💥

[@ceeuuu01]

"Drowning in The Sea of Love" is one I remember too. The lyrics, of course, mean more now that I'm older. The R & B music told stories.

I agree with you. I'm mad as I type this. But it's not his fault. The indoctrination is deep and damaging.®®®

[@kincamell2]

Much Gratitude

[@jglaude2]

I was born and raised in a small town in Louisiana. I was a musician (guitarist/ singer) from the time I was 11 years old. In my teens, around 1965 or 66, I played with a recording group comprised of older guys (Henry Clements and the Trojans) from Crowley, Louisiana. One of my greatest memories from my teens was getting to back up Joe Simon when he came back to do a concert in his hometown of Simmesport. I got to watch this masterful performer from the best vantage point ever, onstage with him. Although I've been fortunate enough to have met and worked with a lot of people whose music and acting I have admired through the years, I will never forget that concert.

[@gracepatton7620]

Loved Joe Simon music. He was a music legend.

[@cookiescream3971]

Hey Mr.Joe Simon, Hope you're well,,Pass by your home in Simmesport,La.I'm from Louisiana, yes,I hated picking cotton also,that how I learned to cook so well,because my mother made me cook,all the meals,while they pick cotton Stiil listening to Nine Pound Steal. Love you Mr.Joe Simon. 7/19/2021

Joe Simon combined Country and R&B together

[@USNAVDC]

Often times R&B and Country music cross paths.....I think because both have roots in hard times and hard luck. I'm a White boy, born in the coal fields in a house with no indoor plumbing....I can identify with Country and R&B music.

I used to listen to Joe Simon on WLAC...."way down South in Dixie" Gallatin, Tennessee...with John R....Randy's Record Mart back in the 1960s. Joe Simon was one of the greatest. WLAC was one of the greatest R&B radio stations in the country. You could pick it up on AM radio just about all over the USA at night.

[@ESmith-is9es]

You're right man I remember those days getting to my bedroom window to get the radio signal. I did order my 45s from Randy Mart.

[@USNAVDC]

@@ESmith-is9es WLAC had the greatest artists on there....some that you would almost never hear anywhere else...John R, Hoss Allen and Gene Nobles where so great. I even loved the commercials they had. Just wondering what part of the country you're in @E. Smith? I'm in the "Almost Heaven" state, but I've listened to WLAC in West Virginia, Virginia, Washington, D.C., North and South Carolina, and all over the South and in Oklahoma and Texas....and just about any place in the country when I was traveling at night. Great memories!
