I worked with Joe in juvenile detention. He was a stand up guy and great with the kids. Didn’t take no shit from anybody!

[@kimbaez8527]

I love Joe Bataan. Makes me smile listening to his music. I'm from bklyn and it takes me back to the fun times growing up with the block parties and everybody just being free and dancing in the streets.

[@DJPeterPlay]

Mate, I'm from Sheffield, UK via Brighton, Oxford and London I too have great memories of dancing to Joe Bataan tracks at beautiful parties when I was also young and free. I still do free at beautiful parties, but it's only ocassional now sadly - got to ration that shit now I'm in my mid-fifties! Thanks for the tunes Mr Bataan!

This takes me back to great summer memories in East Harlem.

[@patrickmannion4952]

Saw the film two nights ago on America Reframed. Kudos to you for unearthing this gem of a genre that hasn't been given its proper due in music history. I became a fan of several artists in the past day.

[@conishkee]

[@jaysongnos5778]

I'm from sanfrancisco and in the 79s and 80s I remember my mother jamming his music at bbq's parties ect shes gone now but hearing his music refreshes those happy childhood memories. Joe bataan gets down.

[@marthatorres4387]

Jonathan Reed i always thought he was puerto rican. he claims to be Borricqua.

[@victorrijos8899]

Gerald Johnson uuuyyyyyyytyttt

[@alheitzer2438]

@@marthatorres4387 I think his 'Boricua' stems from his identifying with the Puerto Rican culture and tradition. After all, he was raised in Spanish Harlem on East 103rd Street. No matter, actually, great performer and person.

[@pablotorres7436]

Una canción Soul de Curtis Mayfield latinizada fue la carta de presentación para Joe Bataan, que con su "She smokes ha ha!" se refería a una Gypsy Woman que estaba fiu fiu 💃... Fue responsable directo del surgimiento del Latin Soul/Boogaloo en 1966, como la música de moda para los jóvenes latinos de de El Barrio de New York y uno de los primeros músicos, directores y cantantes en firmar para el naciente sello disquero Fania Records... Hace pocos años hubo una oleada de nostalgia por los 'Good 'Ole Days' de los años 60', y Joe Bataan se presentó nada menos que en el Central Park de N. Y... La gente mas joven quería ver lo que no pudo por nacer posteriormente a eso... Bataan no les defraudó en absoluto .... 🗽🎯 5:24

[@WreckingKrew00]

This is AMAZING I didn't know that Joe Bataan was 1/2 Filipino and 1/2 Afro-american I always thought he was Afro-Cuban . I was a young kid when his music was "popping". I too am half Filipino and half Kazakh-Mongol .

[@wendelllouismaria6778]

Growing up in the streets of New York in the 50s and 60s, was in a gang, got involved into crime, got arrested etc. After he was released from prison, he changed his life around.

[@aliciaruiz6705]
