Hold What You've Got: The Joe Tex Story, Hardcover/Jason Martinko

Descriere

Description In the history of American soul music, perhaps no other artist has been more overlooked than Joe Tex. During the golden age of soul music in the 1960's, Tex was not only a tremendous singer and dancer, but he wrote many hit songs, including his own four biggest hit records. This book follows his early days in Texas, his success and struggles on the road, his 25-year recording career, his life-long rivalry with James Brown, his conversion to the Muslim faith, and his triumphant return to show business. Joe Tex is one of the most dynamic and talented artists in the history of American music. Here is his story. Rare photographs and discography included.
