What a voice! Incredible talent. There was a LOT more to this man than 'Poke Salad Annie'......

[@steveavant9727]

The blues is written from the heart. This blues song comes from the heart of a man missing his woman, blues from a lonely heart. TJ White wrote the song, Brooke Benton made it famous, TJ put his heart and soul into the performance. I still get chills when I listen to it. Thank you, TJ White.

I'm a late bloomer catching on to Tony....after 75 years , he's one of the best ...hope he comes back.

[@haldanisbister4179]

Sorry, but he's dead. Don't worry, he didn't stop being him until the end. I've just found him too, so glad I'll be able to delve through so much richly authentic music

[@toniwilliams2708]

I'm 76yrs. young and I not only learned who wrote this beautiful song, but actual the story behind it as told by Tony Joe White himself. He has a beautiful soulful voice ❤❤❤❤❤

VERY FORTUNATE THAT Brook Benton...decided to make this song immortal..

[@royalmint7831]

Leon Russell did it,he wrote THE SONG,one massive hit synonymsis with him.He said if you can just write one song like that you are lucky, you've made it.TJW did it with this song.RIP

[@williamkirkland7002]

Tony Joe White wrote it and gave it to Brook Benton. Originally. Listen to Tony Joe White describe the writing of this song.

[@kt9166]

I first heard this song, like most of us, by Brook Benton, then I backtracked to find out who wrote this masterpiece. Lord, what a songwriter, what a singer. I miss you so much, my friend. I feel like it's raining all over the world.

[@coldroses5337]

Same Agreed Cheers 🍷

[@wendellstafford8447]

It is a rainy night in Georgia, even Heaven is crying over the loss of Tony Joe.

[@bretkindell6887]

You ain't lying Wendell, a legend indeed. Loved the dude down here in texas

[@katiaengel1]

true soo sad !

[@joeyricci7168]

This song was originally recorded and released by him in 1969. It was laid out differently, but it was non-the less great! This 1980 live version is nothing short of perfection.

[@joeyricci7168]

Gotta love the way Tony Joe plays that old Fender Stratocaster like it was a natural part of him.... He made it look so easy.... Even while playin’ that ole harp, too!

[@lyndamcardle4123]

..indeed and he's singing the song in between as well !

[@chrisjohnson4165]

RIP You were fantastic, an authentic blues man.

[@scorpiousantares]

I did not know he wrote this tune. pure awesome.

[@ACOUSTIC_4LOVE]

Soulful Voice , Tasty Guitar and Harmonica. Tony Blessed us with wonderful songwriting and He truly did his own thing. Never Flashy,just down to Earth southern Soul Blues 🇺🇸 RIP TJW

WE LOST A GREAT ONE, I SEEN HIM ON ONCE BACK IN THE 70'S AT A PACKAGE SHOW IN K.C.K. WOW, WHAT A SHOW, R.I.P. TONY!!!!!

[@brileyblackburn3253]

As a kid I always heard Polk salad Annie on the radio and loved the song. I ordered the greatest hits package from a local music store. I was stunned when I saw he wasn't black

[@drjwbriand]

no matter how many times you hear this song, it speaks to ya each time, so sad he's gone-

[@MAllen-ng8pl]

Tony Joe White - his own version of Rainy Night in Georgia - Excellent Version too!

Tony Trotta - It’s the best version I have ever heard him play live, with a real vintage Fender Stratocaster! His guitar 🎸 playing was unique, as his singing 🎤. He was and is a true legend.

I saw him perform this live at the Governor Hindmarsh Hotel in Adelaide South Australia in 2017. Third time I had seen him perform there. His voice and style; he could have performed forever. Widely played on Adelaide radio in the 70s. RIP

[@mindandhand9499]

I realize he wrote this fabulous song but the way Brook Benton sang it took it to another level. Just like Glen Campbell did the same with Gentle On My Mind. Respect to the songwriters but certain people are just born to sing certain songs.

[@rogerheisler2554]

You go that right!

[@montecarlo766]

[@tippimail1]

The late Tony Joe White would have been 76 today-i got his first album,1969's Black and White when it came out-his biggest hit,Polk Salad Annie, was on it-it went to #8 on Billboard.He wrote it and this one also.Haven't listened to him in years-i just learned that he died last year.When he sings those low notes,i get goosebumps.I'd forgotten how great he was.R.I.P.,Tony.

[@mt.rushmore7916]

You know, in the video, Merle Haggard said he felt Tony was lazy because Tony would not tour with him. That really made me angry when I saw that. Tony had talent Merle could only dream of. Plus, maybe Tony had more discipline to not spend so much time drunk or otherwise messed up like Merle did. I appreciate Merle......but, Tony was on a much higher level as a musician/performer. Merle depended on redneck-hillbilly flimflam to make his mark. There was and remains a HUGE difference.
