"Show Me" #35 4/15/1967

One of the well-known R&B feuds of the 60's was between James Brown and Houston-area native Joe Tex. They had several battles over the years as Joe claimed The Godfather Of Soul stole much of his act, including the famous move with the cape. I detect a touch of resentment there. Joe converted to Islam and got out of the business for several years. He came back and had a few hits before he died at age 47.
