Why I'm a Fan
I'm a fan (and you should be too) because...I have been in music starting at age (nine). Now a 12 time GRAMMY contender, there are a few people who got my attention, Joe is one of those people.
Forty years ago I left the club sceen with RCA offering me a contract. I have been in ministery now for 40 yrs. record gospel music and preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. I have sung some songs of Joe's in church, because many of his songs has a great message and help me get a point over to the people.
I have only saw Joe in concert one time in Knoxville Tennessee and he was as good on stage as he is in the stuido. Who knows, Joe may record a song with me and my wife Janice Brown some day. Janice in 1983 recorded a song with her then pastor FC Barnes that is now one of gospel music bigest songs ever recorded, "Rough Side Of The Mountain". Janice and I got married May 3, 2010 and our new name in the bis. is "Ebony & Ivory".
When you take the time to LISTEN (not hear) Joe's music, take it from me, you to will be a fan as well.

Re: Hard Knocks
Hi Joe,
Been a fan for over 40 yrs. Left clubs 40 yrs. ago with a RCA contract offer, been recording gospel and preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ.
So many don't get it!! Many of your songs carry a great message. I have sung a few in church to get a point over. "HARD KNOCKS" you have done it again, could be your best to date.
Best wishes,
