Joe Tex ( 1933-1982) was an American soul singer who had the raspy voice & charm of a southern preacher, with the linguistic skills of a true street hustler. Joe Tex made a string of funky chart topping hits, and occasional raps with moral themes. His peak as a hitmaker occured in the mid & later 60's, but extended into the 70's disco era.
His real last name was Arrington, and he later changed it to Hazziez after conversion to Islam, but his stage name was Joe Tex, for Texas, the state he was born & later died in.
