Joe Tex

When I was 10 or 11, I was absurdly fond (well, actually it wasn’t absurd at all) of Joe Tex’s “Hold On To What You’ve Got” (aka “Hold What You’ve Got”), the ’sense’ of which I couldn’t really have understood at all. Here he is on Shindig (he starts just after 3 minutes into this 9 minute segment). If you want to see Tex in an entirely different mode and mood, try this.
