“No Sad Songs” #49 2/3/1968

Here’s a Southern R&B singer working with material that was almost country-flavored. Joe Simon worked extensively with Nashville DJ John Richbourg, who helped connect him with some of Music City’s better songwriters. It showed there really wasn’t a lot of difference between soul music and country, only in its presentation. Joe scored a number of hits up into the late 1970’s.
