Smokin Joe Frazier has shocked me even at the end of his life!!! There you go, it just shows you the unlimited and glorious talent of the legend, boxing champion, the great great Joe Frazier!!! R.I.P Champ!!!
Until today I didn't know that Joe Frazier was a singer, too. And to those who deny it (and who start to laugh about it): has anyone of you gone to stage once, and sang out loud in front of a bigger audience, as he did? And I am NOT talking about Karaoke shows....! Of course he is not a professional singer ... but having been a member of a Gospel choir for many years, with two pro singers in the lead, I can say they also were not always perfect. Joe should have had some more singing lessons, to manage his very warm and soft soul voice a little bit better, that is all. And, I am convinced that all the time he invested in his musical performances, saved him from getting pugilistic or boxer's dementia. Sorry to say that this straightly, I am not such a big fan of boxing, although I have a enough respect of the athletic performance. R.I.P. both, Joe and Ali.
I had always heard a second or so of Frazier singing here and there on like documentaries about Ali and Frazier.....but nothing serious and i have to admit because of that i never wanted to hear anymore music from him............but WOW this shows me how much of a mule i was!
Boxers nowadays could never bring themselves to do something like this. Especially not a #1 champion anyways, their ego's are too big! And they can not back it up either. They wouldnt survive back in the olden days of boxing not when its down in a slump like now.. but it will be back.
Thank you GeneroEdits for keeping this historical music alive. "The Trash Man Blues". is a song that I wrote for Smokin Joe Frazier's drummer Charlie Brown its on you tube.
+smith lovy When I Boxed Golden Gloves ! Doing the Ali shuffle and the Rope A dope got you warning ! 3 warnings cost you points ! the Rop a dope got you a standing count ! 2 more got the fight stopped !
@G3ner0 It was a very nice touch for those of us who followed the two fighters...I enjoyed it , made it an unexpected treat. But I also understand why some fans tire of the two men been linked together....but it is what it is...
After reading the story of this boxing legend's life, I came to YT wanting to hear him sing. His story made me look back at my past life and think "If only I had been exposed to....maybe met and befriended Joe Frazier I might have pursued those things I was once good at, like singing, boxing and martial arts." I'd have been 13 when he beat arrogant Ali. Guess I'll have to stick to preaching, writing a bit and training animals since I'm too old for the former things.
After seeing how many obstacles he had to get through to achieve what he achieved is truly inspiring. As a young, poor boy, living in the racist south of America, he told his family he was gonna be the champ one day. He left at 13 alone and with absolutely nothing to live a better life. One of the greatest life stories that's in history.
I wonder how this man used to jungle & practice being a dangerous Boxer & a soft vocalist singer concurrently, I personally believe if Joe Frazier had solely focused on Boxing he would have made more history than Muhammed Ali.
You are so right in my eyes Ali was a jerk all he did was talk shit .hard to respect someone who cant say anything but disrespectful things . talk about the pot calling the kettle black .thats Ali
@@jonhaynes5505 bruh, he fought for his civil rights. Ali don't talk shit, that was trash talk. Ali excused by Frazier. Frazier hates Ali for along time, althoug Ali apologized to him. Frazier batted God for help to killing him. Ali helped million african american. Frazier raved the racism in the 60s and 70s.
@G3ner0 Guess Ali was having a really good day and in a great mood. Either that or he really wasn't such a devout Muslim as he feigned and had a few drinks before this interview.
"Joe Frazier can sing"- Muhammad Ali LOL.... And people say that Ali was so mean to Frazier. But if that statement by Ali isn't a case of extreme kindness and generosity, what is?
HE was a jerk to the champ all that crap he called Joe was uncalled for. I. know it would sure piss me off if someone called me those things .its hard to respect someone that talks down to people like he did
Some people believed that Muhammad Ali "mistreated" Joe Frazier. But when he says here that Joe can sing, well, it showed how magnanimous he was. Joe with all due respect was a great fighter, good guy, but Marvin Gaye he was not. Oh well, no one can be a world champion at everything. RIP Joe and Muhammad.
Can't believe Frazier and now Ali are gone. R.I.P
He actually had a pretty smooth singing voice. Never would'a guessed it.
when Joe wasn't in camp training for an upcoming fight, he'd be touring with his band, and he had that soulful voice, I enjoy listening to him. R.I.P
really , he looked like an interesting fella
He's really got a fine voice and emotional range
That is good singing i dont know what people are on about sayin he cant sing
Smokin Joe, a true giant of the sports world, dignity , courage and this ain't too bad either .
Damn Joe was good. Not a lot of the new generation know about his music career. Multi-talented for sure
Bet yer boots if not a boxer(great) he could have easily been a singer
I just found out and holy shit he's got an incredible voice, I did not expect that. Amazing. Yet another thing to add to the reasons he's my idol❤
Great soul, great man and rest in peace champ.
Rest in peace Frazier I never knew that he can sang like this 💯💯💯.
That was pretty good champ
Rest in peace Joe frazier A great champion, and a great man.
Smokin Joe Frazier has shocked me even at the end of his life!!! There you go, it just shows you the unlimited and glorious talent of the legend, boxing champion, the great great Joe Frazier!!! R.I.P Champ!!!
I’ve watched countless documentaries over the years on the greatest fighters .
I never knew this one fact , the guy can sing for sure
Until today I didn't know that Joe Frazier was a singer, too. And to those who deny it (and who start to laugh about it): has anyone of you gone to stage once, and sang out loud in front of a bigger audience, as he did? And I am NOT talking about Karaoke shows....!

R.I.P. both, Joe and Ali.
I just listened to Ali's version of "Stand by me", and he CAN sing, too.
Amen...
You're kinda undermining it, he actually has a way better voice than most singers today😂
I had always heard a second or so of Frazier singing here and there on like documentaries about Ali and Frazier.....but nothing serious and i have to admit because of that i never wanted to hear anymore music from him............but WOW this shows me how much of a mule i was!
The greatest!!!
he has perfect pitch!!!
I wonder what you've been smoking! LMAO!
Wow..
Touching voice!
"Download Frazier! Download Frazier!" 😁
He's good. Got a lot of feeling and soul. Good song. As good as some of overblown lightwieghts on Idol

Boxers nowadays could never bring themselves to do something like this. Especially not a #1 champion anyways, their ego's are too big! And they can not back it up either. They wouldnt survive back in the olden days of boxing not when its down in a slump like now.. but it will be back.
You were right my friend
Ah yeah a soul man, with a great tight band. Well done.

Note how the audience laughs on hearing Ali say, "Joe Frazier can sing."LOL
Ashley #Smashley sent me to say she loves coming to your videos .
A much better singer and human than Ali.
You are so right in my eyes Ali was a jerk all he did was talk shit .hard to respect someone who cant say anything but disrespectful things . talk about the pot calling the kettle black .thats Ali

I think He is good
@G3ner0 Guess Ali was having a really good day and in a great mood. Either that or he really wasn't such a devout Muslim as he feigned and had a few drinks before this interview.
@XavierMarciano I guess Ali's endorsement is supposed to increase the credibility of Joe's "singing."
Joe, wherever you are up there, you are the BEST. #1
Joe, wherever you are up there, you are the BEST. #1
Joe sounds a bit like archie bell, tyrone davis and lenny williams. prob is the reason his singing got overshadowed
He had a good soul voice but he needed something to make him stand out other than that he sounded like the average soul r&b singers at the time
please god, take ali and give us back joe frazier.
Burn in hell
coud do they carlton to this
Раньше люди были намного интересней чем сейчас
Style of this kind of music?
I'm no expert. Might be considered soul or maybe blues
@P2theK87 HA HA! Good call! But to be fair, De La Hoya's just as bad as Pac.
