Biography

(1933 – 1982)

Joe Tex (1933-1982) was an American soul singer with the raspy voice & charm of a southern preacher and 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 & late 60’s, but extended into the 70’s disco era.

Tex’s last name was Arrington. 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.
