First time Joe Tex perform this song , It was televised on Soul Train. The dancer who was pulled on stage with Mr. Tex was none other than Miss Damita Jo Freeman. She threw down!!! From there she became a "Star''.
I remember that Very well And yes, she definitely threw Down and I think in my opinion, she was the best soul train dancer ever. That soul train episode will always go down in history
Very talented and nice man, my Daddy brought him to Montgomery to sing. Shep Shelton was my father and I remember seeing Joe Tex when I was a teenager ♥️
Tex continued recording hits until 1972, when he decided to pursue life as a minister in the Nation of Islam after converting in 1966. He came back to music after the death of the Nation’s leader, Elijah Muhammad in 1975. His last public appearance was in 1981. After that, Tex retreated from the public eye and retired to his ranch in Navasota, Texas with his wife Beliliah Hazziez. When Tex converted to Islam, he changed his name to Yusef Hazziez. He had five children: Earthra Doucet, Joseph Arrington III, Ramadan Hazziez, Jwaade Hazziez, and Joseph Hazziez. Joe Tex died at his home in Navasota, Texas from a heart attack on August 13, 1982. He was 47 years old.
I went to see him perform 6months before he passed. In a former jazz club in L.A....The Parisian Room! Off of Pico. The saxophonist from Oingo Boingo, Dale, took me. What a night!
I love this song! And the ladies dancing remind me of how Pattie LaBelle and the ladies she sang with dressed back then. My dad had this single, I Ain't Gone Bump and Skinny Legs. Those were some better times of my childhood.
I was about eight years old when That record came out could not stop jamming to it then can’t stop jamming to it now. They don’t make fun records like that anymore. Damn shame.
What I liked about music years ago was that everyone knew what the hits were. I didn't matter if you were 90 or 5, you knew what was on the radio. Now I don't get that feeling. With all the outlets for music, I couldn't tell you what the hit songs are. Soul Train, Casey Kasem, Ed Sullivan, we miss you !!
I just now read a reference to Joe Tex in Bob Dylan's book, "Chronicles." I couldn't remember how he sounded, so here I am! Dylan said he was watching The Tonight Show one night and saw Joe treated coldly by Johnny Carson when he sang on his show. Interesting...
Taneka Roberts you know how it works. Face says says 20 something birth certificate says 40 something. It is true that black don’t crack. 😂 I just let people think I’m 29. 🤷🏾♀️🤣
@@TanekaRoberts I'll be 54 in December😊❤ I was a little girl, but watching Soul Train was a ritual for us, each Saturday afternoon after the cartoons❤😊
The house parties we had in the 60's and 70's !! Joe Tex music was a part of them!! We didn't get to see him dance a lot back then but he had the moves!!
Yes we danced anywhere at all times from portable record players, 🎶🎶 music from 🪟 windows, car radios, cassettes, DJs in the parks, block parties, at the beach. I am remembering doing those exact dance move as I dance around my room.. Waiting to see how low can you go how low can you go 🎶🎶🎶💃🏿🕺🏿🏥😷🥃. Good times I thought they'd be forever Yes Joe Tex gone but never forgotten 💃🏿🕺🏿🎶💃🏿🕺🏿🎶🕺🏿💃🏿🎶🎶
Wow I missed this one. I was 12 years old . I had a transiter radio much loved, as well as Black and white television. This Funk came to my attention as a 15 yr old . Bowies Golden years cemented this rhythm in my consciousness. The 3 funkiest dancer's of FUNKY STYLE AMAZING PERFORMERS. Joe Text could pump up the Funk amazing
Great post!! Joe Tex was the man James Brown stole a lot of his moves from!!! Great recording artist left music for the Nation of Islam and came back to music and did the hit "I Aint Gonna Bump No More!" Great Post!!!
@@davidlynn3631 No. He actually did steal his moves & Little Richard was the one to actually confirm it They had both opened for Little Richard during tours - separately & a few times all together. He said he noticed James show changed drastically after watching Joe perform.
I love Joe Tex!!!! I saw him at the Apollo Theater when l was a kid back in the 1960s...68. My favorite song is "Tell Me Right Now". ( this song is very hard to get! I have his greatest hits CD. this rare song is NOT on any of his albums or cds) You can listen to this song ..right here on the UA-cam .
met Joe Tex when I was a little kid during the 'I Got Ya' days. Must have stopped in DC for a show I guess. Made a stop at my elementary school. I was thrilled and can barely remember why.

@Dim
Ah, the 1970's!!! It doesn't get any better than this!!!
2025 nothing like old school music who's here
This just reminded me I was 9 years old and I'd be outside playing in the morning and at 11 a.m. I'd hurry home to watch the Soul Train
One of the best.
He was sososso underrated

That is a horrible story.. noi is a monstrous hate cult.
47 is so young.That’s sad.I remember this song.Thanks for that info about him.
Thanks for sharing the info.
Joe about to get a charge at the end 😅😅
Joe Tex had a monster jam here and the dancers were the truth
Remember seeing on soultrain. The young lady grabbed her leg and held it. The look on his face was priceless.
That was Damita Jo Freeman!! ❤
I was 3 when this song came out and I remember singing this 🤭
Those girls.....outta sight......!
Those outfits are everything!🌞
Love Mr. Joe Tex& this song❤!
Those outfits can work today!
I'm not sure about Joe's suit...🤣🤣🤣

Great song to be entering puberty to as I was oh I loved the 70's

The horns backing up is sheer perfection 👌
This is what you call good music 🎼
Now this is what u call a banger my ppl.
This really happened!
Funkin up the Funk! Seriously.. that's some serious wardrobe!!!
I was 13 when this song was out.♥️
God i wish I could take a time machine back to these great days i don't want to come back to this mess of today
I love this song! And the ladies dancing remind me of how Pattie LaBelle and the ladies she sang with dressed back then.
My dad had this single, I Ain't Gone Bump and Skinny Legs. Those were some better times of my childhood.
Joe Tex would be in trouble these days. For the lyrics and the dancing.
I think it's funny how back in the 70s girl wore those out fit here it is 2020 and those outfits and boots are back in style.lol
Some funky drumming!!!!!
Sometimes I forget that people could really dance in those days.
This dude really new how to entertain this wasn't my generation but it put a smile on my face in 2021😆👍
Good that you realize how we have less and less fun nowdays compared with the old good times of that era..I call it A Decline
I could see why JB was intimidated, Joe Tex kept him working. RIP to both legends.
I bought an original used 45 as soon as I discovered this great song!
One of the creepiest, rapiest songs ever written but it's a great song and the visuals are amazing too.
“i’d be the next one to ease on innnn”. You know Joe Tex was a southern man
That's how we use to dance, with our mug all broke down and stuff. Skinny legs and all. Ain't that right, yall.
I was about eight years old when That record came out could not stop jamming to it then can’t stop jamming to it now. They don’t make fun records like that anymore. Damn shame.
I was around 5 or 6 depending on when it came out in 1972. My how time flies.
What I liked about music years ago was that everyone knew what the hits were. I didn't matter if you were 90 or 5, you knew what was on the radio. Now I don't get that feeling.

Omg! This was one of my favorite jams in 1972..I would go around singing "now give it here, I GOT YA"..
Ah huh huh
GREAT SONG OF MY TEEN AGE YEARS 1972.
I LOVE IT !
I actually remember watching this when it originally aired ❤👍🏾👍🏾
Stop it... You would have to be like late 50's or 60 at the least to remember this, if it was on TV

Joe Text could pump up the Funk amazing
Same age, I remember it well.
Oh...we had this 45 record when I was a kid!!!!
Did you have Skinny Legs and All, too?
The outfits are EVERYTHING❣
"Don't hold back now give it here".
I thought it was a white guy . I'm relieved. Coming from a white guy. Favorite songs from the day was always from the brothers.
Joe T one of the best. Make sure you post ain't going to bump no more with no big fat woman.
I didn't know he made that song
Or that woman with the skinny legs!
We had the 45 of that one. 😁 The lyrics were funny but it was still groovin' at the same time. 👍✴
@@dbwi9233 oh yeah old school 45 were awesome
Coach Darren what you know about them butt sister's! 😂😂

This was my music as a kid and I loved it
Never heard until now. It's good!

Genius
Great post!! Joe Tex was the man James Brown stole a lot of his moves from!!! Great recording artist left music for the Nation of Islam and came back to music and did the hit "I Aint Gonna Bump No More!" Great Post!!!
If that was his come back song 😂 he wasted time in the nation of hislam and we lost out on some year of good music. Joe Tex X
James stole his moves😂 you must have never seen james brown or maybe you confusing him with Eddie Murphy.
@@davidlynn3631 No. He actually did steal his moves & Little Richard was the one to actually confirm it They had both opened for Little Richard during tours - separately & a few times all together. He said he noticed James show changed drastically after watching Joe perform.
Say, do I rememba it on da radio awhile back in lil kid skool days.
gotta love joe tex
