Wow ! Its been over 40 yrs. since I saw them on TV. Once you saw them, you never forgot them ! Excellent performers! Just wish there were black men singing like that on the record charts today.
Nick, I don't think "they" want black men singing like that on the record charts today, and you've probably noticed, pop culture is tightly controlled from the top--no songs about war, freedom, corruption..."Ohio" could never be made or played today.
Exceptional! Played this and a couple others for a friend I took out of the nursing home today... out by the ocean she was a wailing and a clapping belting this out with all her might! Thanks Joe and Eddie!
In South Australia, we were the Joe and Eddie capital of the world. This one went on to be won of the biggest selling singles in 1963. it spent 4 weeks at number 1, also a further 6 singles charted. Today not one Joe and Eddie song is played on Adelaide commercial radio, you have to listen to them on Community Radio stations.
I'm from the San Francisco Bay Area and when I graduated from high school in 1962, Joe and Eddie were our entertainment. They were incredible, so much energy.
I was brought up listening to Joe and Eddie sing! They are Great!! They make my heart leap and reach a place that only God himself Knows and Goes!*:), and if they passed on, they really Know how much I love them*:)*:)*:)*:)
First heard this in 1963 on local radio. Liked it so much I went out & bought the 45. Didn't know what type of music it was, but I didn't care. It was, and is, GREAT!
Saw them several times at a place in San Diego. #The Upper Cellar# near San Diego State. 1965-66. They were great - dynamic. Joe was killed in a car accident on his way home after a performance in Seal Beach in 1966. Their careers were going really well ( folk music was very popular). My friend and I never went to that club.
i was 14 when this song came out, and also by them, What's that I Hear Now which came out around the same time, if you haven't heard it, listen to it , you won't be sorry. Like all the kids who were into folk, me and my friend were so inspired by these guys, i had the vinyl album. My friend's dad took us to see them in concert at Royce Hall at UCLA that year.
I've never heard of them. Just saw the film 'Hootenanny Hoot' on TCM. Loved the song they sang! I read up on them and I can't believe in all the shows they appeared on I never caught their act. Better late than never. Absolutely wonderful blend of their voices. Sorry to read that Joe Gilbert died in '66. I'm a big fan of R&B and all the 60's teen flicks. Having said that 'Hootenanny Hoot' was one of the best musical films I've seen ever based on the performances. Great performances by all. Great to see Johnny Cash too. I love him madly. (Wash DC)
Make sure to listen to What's That I Hear? It came out around the same time, 1963, it was at the peak of the civil rights movement, all those things going on in the South, black people demonstrating and getting hosed by police and attacked by police dogs for peaceful demonstrations, conflicts over stopping blacks from voting. Listen to What's that I Hear, keeping in mind the historical context. The song still has power and beauty. Of course everything Joe and Eddie touched had power and beauty, in a word, inspired and inspiring, ok, two words.
My dad brought this album home to play on our relatively new "record player" in the early 60s. My sister and I sang along with that whole album, "There's a meeting here tonight". It was an odd album for my dad to bring home (a Scotsman... who loved big band, if he had a musical taste). The only other record of not was "My Fair Lady". My sister and I were just into "BeatleMania" and Dad loved this album. We did too. My favourite of J&E, was "Mariah". All their music was awesome. Never left me. Always part of my growing up. Thanks Dad. I'm just a gal that grew up in Victoria, BC. On one trip to Seattle in the 60s, my sister and I saw our first "Negro". There was no racism inferred, just, "Oh". We grew up with Sikhs and Chinese at our schools, so being Canadian meant you came from any where in the Commonwealth. We never could understand why there was racism in the US. But we never had slavery here. But as a citizen, have to admit other nasty miscues by "religious groups" regarding our "First Nations". I'm an atheist. Joe and Eddy have left their mark with their amazing harmonies and the joy it brings to my heart as long as I live.
I came here from a link in Kareem Abdul Jabbar's weekly newsletter. He's a very good writer and discussed weekly topics on current news. Also gives his take on movies and series.
Do you know that Karim has also written several books? At least three of them are Sherlock Holmes mysteries. Surprise surprise surprise! And they're good. 🤗😘
I'm from South Australia...and I didn't know that -about their success there. Was a little young. This song lifts me to the heavens ! It thrills me. And - what kind of meeting is it ??! I presume it's a gospel sorta meeting...
The cool thing about folk music was that it brought in the gospel on many songs that were sung. Music has lost its way when it excludes a spiritual message.
I see here in June 2019, someone has removed the World Cultural Heritage listable (live on US TV) clip of Joe And Eddie singing 'That's The Way It's Gonna Be'...PLEASE explain how that is possible...been watching that clip for decades.
Can anyone tell what the guy on the left says at 2:08 through 2:10? Between the words "I can tell by your friendly face" and "there is a meeting." There are two syllables that I can't make out. Not sure if they're words or just noises, but if someone knows, I could use the help haha :)
"Cos I can tell by your friendly faces that there is a meeting....". The 2 syllables you couldn't make out are, I believe, the "s" at the end of "faces" (yes, he makes them plural) and "that". Joe (for it is he) sings most of the line syncopated, unlike Eddie, which makes it harder to pick out the words. :)
I'm pretty sure this is a clip from a TV show called Bourbon Street Beat. Those two guys ARE actors, Richard Long and Van Williams. Actually if I'm right, the whole audience is actors. :D Just that those two are the series stars and the others are background actors.

I can think of one.... "Chained to the Rhythm" by Katy Perry and Skip Marley.
I remember this from when I was a kid. I wanted to sing it for karaoke but I didn't remember there were actually other lyrics. Maybe... 🎶😘🤗
Saw them in concert in 65. Unbelievable. Only singers I’ve ever heard where 2 voices sound like chorus. Best duo I’ve ever heard!
Love the audience reaction. Some of those kids probably have literally never heard anything quite like it. Heartening!
One of the best singing duos of all time. I’ve been a fan since the 80s when I stumbled across one of their LPs at Goodwill!
Exceptional! Played this and a couple others for a friend I took out of the nursing home today... out by the ocean she was a wailing and a clapping belting this out with all her might! Thanks Joe and Eddie!

@@bigkahuna4826 …
I got to see them in person so many times in my teen years...they were spectacular!!!
This was the first record I bought way back in the early 60s. Great duo, Great Gospel.
Just two guys, but they sound like a whole group!
Maybe you should see a doc. This does not sound like a whole group...
@@kaprun100 you replied to a 3 year old comment lol.
@@joevines3428, and why is this important in any way to a record, which is from 1963?...

Jean Veneziano......I listened to Joe and Eddie growing up too. I love them. I raise my hands in 'Amen' everytime I hear them.
Joe Gilbert passed away in 1966. They were still at their peak.
They are just wonderful. Talent talent talent. Thank you Joe and Eddie.
So,so good
I was just thinking of this song, then I found it here....I remember it when I was 16..cool old tune and duo......
Don't know how I missed them back in the day. A nice lady just sent this to me. I love it
I'd never heard of these two but their greatest hits record caught my eye and since it was only a couple bucks I got it and am so glad I did.
First heard this in 1963 on local radio. Liked it so much I went out & bought the 45. Didn't know what type of music it was, but I didn't care. It was, and is, GREAT!
Hahaha - well I've still got their LP! After all these years - love the music!

I have their vinyl Walkin' Down the Line. I loved their voices. Still do.
@William Murray Yes, tragically.

Loved this back in the early 60’s - in! So great to be able to see this and see these guys! Thanks so much.
Great song ! played it in grade school teacher brought it from home ! The beautiful Pamela Austin !so charming !
this song was a big hit in Boston thanks to WBZ radio which featured a folk show on the weekend.
i remember that show. "BZ was so hot back then!

That's why I logged on to find Joe and Eddy, too! Such a weirdly wonderful movie. Really loved seeing the acts.
Make sure to listen to What's That I Hear?

I have many times. I love that song too and 'Michael Row the Boat Ashore'. I had to buy their 'Live in Hollywood' because I can't get enough of them.
Great Folk song from my teens

Very nicely done. Enjoyed that. The Big Valley guy was hilarious in the audience.
Still one of the greatest teams!
0:23 This is my favorite part. So heavenly.

well heck if there was a meeting & they were going to be singing i would be at that meeting!!!
They performed with Then Dillards in our gymnasium. The Class of 1964 from Huntington Beach Union High School in California approves of them!
Does anyone remember "He's Got the Whole World in His Hnds"?
@@chocolatcats Wow...I forgot all about this video and my comment. Thanks for reminding me!
Have always liked there music.
The cool thing about folk music was that it brought in the gospel on many songs that were sung. Music has lost its way when it excludes a spiritual message.
I love Joe and Eddie I'm looking for there song swing down sweet chairet.
Nevery heard of them! But great harmony.
I saw them in Melbourne Australia in the 60s I think they were on the same bill as Josh white. or was it the rooftop singers?
David Dixon I’m from Melbourne, where did they play at? :)
Small world. They met in middle school in Berkeley. My mother went to that same school, as did both of my kids.
I thought they met at a singing contest..
I see here in June 2019, someone has removed the World Cultural Heritage listable (live on US TV) clip of Joe And Eddie singing 'That's The Way It's Gonna Be'...PLEASE explain how that is possible...been watching that clip for decades.

Cantus has nothing on these men, Greats!
Totally adore this. And what about those two [white] guys ? They look like actors, planted to add to the vibe. The vibe is there anyway (!)

Satan will conjure you, nuff said.....
The folk version of Sam and Dave.
Never heard of them and I’m glad I didn’t
