Tyrone Henderson was a soulful crooner whose velvety voice and raw storytelling made him a standout in the 1970s soul scene. Born and raised in Montgomery, Alabama, Tyrone grew up singing in church choirs before finding his way into the bustling R&B circuit of the South. By the mid-’70s, Tyrone had gained a reputation for his emotional ballads and socially conscious lyrics. However, it was his 1979 hit single, “Momma, I Think I Married a Hoe,” that catapulted him to stardom, earning him a gold record and a spot in the pantheon of soul legends. The song was inspired by Tyrone’s tumultuous marriage to Cynthia “CeCe” Malone, a vivacious socialite known for her dazzling charm and questionable fidelity. The couple’s relationship made headlines throughout the decade, with rumors swirling about CeCe’s extramarital escapades. After discovering her involvement in multiple high-profile affairs, Tyrone filed for divorce in late 1978. Heartbroken but determined to channel his pain into his art, Tyrone penned “Momma, I Think I Married a Hoe” in a single night. The song’s candid lyrics and haunting melody struck a chord with audiences, turning his personal heartbreak into a universal anthem for betrayal. In the years that followed, Tyrone’s career flourished as he leaned into themes of love, loss, and redemption. While he never remarried, he often credited the song-and the painful experience behind it-for shaping his legacy as a truth-telling soul artist. Even decades later, “Momma, I Think I Married a Hoe” remains a classic, showcasing Tyrone’s ability to turn personal tragedy into timeless music.
I’m 81 years old and I played this at my wife and I at the time wedding reception, after finding out my wife slept with my best friend. I did some investigation, and also found out that her name used to be high mileage Melissa. I had the DJ play this song and I walked out. I never seen High mileage Melissa again. I had to turn her loose
Great drummer on this track... John "Sticks" McAllister was a prolific session drummer in the 1970s, known for his dynamic grooves and impeccable timing. He gained widespread acclaim for his work on Tyrone Henderson's chart-topping hit "Momma, I Think I Married a Hoe" , cementing his legacy as a key figure in the era's funk and soul music scene.
This brings back memories of Hai Karate and Corinthian leather and a glove compartment full of those 25 cent rubbers you get out of the machine in the bus terminal bathroom . Good times .

Don't forget his stint in nam...that clinched it for Tyrone...he knew she was a hoe!

A true legend 🙏🏾
@@AIForTheCultureA True legend like Tyrone
That drum line is too clean for ‘79. It needs to be that raw soul like Al Green, Curtis Mayfield, Con Funk Shun, The Commodores, Earth Wind & Fire
Tyrone and "Sticks" met in the Nam, been soul brother's from other mothers ever since!
I was 2 when this dropped! This song got me through some really dark times. God bless you Tyrone!
Been playing this all day
The flip side, "I'll Never Forget Whatshername" was a big hit in Papau New Guinea.

WHHYYYYY iz ths 'HIT-song' NOT (yet....) ON-tha-RADIO....??!!
Sho nuff🤣😅😆😁
Is there his the same guy who made “Daddy was a motherfucker (before I was even born)”? Cause it sound like him!
Tyrone was born in 1949 died in 1994 due to suicide, 😢😢😢
Speaking of which, I will sample this song, can I?
He's also the lead singer of Origami (joined: 1972-1985)
Origami was the first band I ever saw in ‘77. I remember the moment Tyrone walked onstage…he had amazing charisma. Such a great performer
@@liquidmuzic I liked "Why Should I Care (1980)" by them, what's your favorite?
That's a great song. First song I heard was "Love in the Groove" (76), it was always my favorite. There'll never be another like Tyrone 🎶
Dammm
#TravisHunter
😂 that's how I feel right now
😂 Classic 😂 its my song
