Three hot handsome talented men from Georgia. They needed their other buddy Freddy Weller ❤️. Loved all four of them. Thank God Tommy and Freddy are still here.❤️❤️ Missing Billy Joe and Joe❤️❤️😥😥
I've been a Joe South fan since the first time I heard his beautiful originality in every meaningful song he wrote and sang,, his success makes me proud of my taste in music❤
I Loved this song as a child. MY DAD bought this song, and he played it,I asked him what his he singing about? My father sId you will see one day.He sure was right. RIP Dad
THIS SONG ONLY MADE INTO TOP 20 ( #12 ) ON THE U.S. BILLBOARDS HOT 100. IT'S SUCH A WELL LOVED SONG SO, ITS A MYSTERY WHY IT NEVER HIT AT LEAST THE TOO 5 ON THE CHARTS.
To me, Joe South was a Nobel quality musician. His gift of songwriting gifted the world with timeless treasures. His early work gives me “chills”. He was a signature musician. A skilled guitar player with a unique singing voice; like finding ‘roses growing on me stalks of clover’🌹🍀…. Thanks Joe, for the rose garden.
What is really amazing is that he had that terrific deep voice into his later years too. Some singers voices kind of age, but his was always terrific. Wonderful sound.
South did Walk a Mile In My Shoes, which is still very relevant. I had a greatest hits of him, and played it for ages. His Don’t It Make You Want To Go Home is another good one.
Tommy James would've went very well on this. Imagine ALL FOUR Harmonizing on "Crimson & Clover" or "Hurray For Hazel!" or "Cherry Hill Park!"😂😉🎤🍒💃🎼🎵🎶🎸🎹🥁🎺B.W.
@@leandroitapolis No,she meant the guy on the left,as we are looking at the screen. Billy's on the left of the screen,Joe's in the middle,and Tommy's on the right of the screen.
A great song and three underrated performers. There was a best selling book about relationships called "Games People Play" by psychiatrist Eric Berne.. Joe South thought it would make a good song title. 👍
In show business, they grew up together, singing and recording in the same places. Joseph Alfred Souter (Joe South) born February 28, 1940 in Atlanta, Georgia Billy Joe Royal (April 3, 1942) Valdosta, Georgia Thomas David Roe (born May 9, 1942) Atlanta, Georgia [edit] More Georgians on the way up at the same time Jerry Reed Hubbard (March 20, 1937), Atlanta, GA Harold Ray Ragsdale (January 24, 1939) aka Ray Stevens, Clarkdale, GA And a couple of Hall of Fame ladies: Gladys Maria Knight (May 28, 1944) Atlanta, GA Brenda Mae Tarpley (Dec 11, 1944) aka Brenda Lee, Atlanta, GA The first to make it big was also the youngest. Brenda Lee was heard on Atlanta radio at age 6 or 7 in late 1951. She was also the first on National TV in 1956 at age 11.
@@waukivorycopse2402 I left out Richard Penniman and Ray Charles because they were about 10 years older, but you are right about Otis being an omission💯
I did not know this existed so I'm really stoked to see it. All three of these men had a way with a song, well, with Tommy Roe it was "Sheila" and "Everybody" and should have had long, fruitful careers. Maybe they did and I just lost track of them but this video is just plain kool to see and fun to watch.
There was some extreme talent here. I wish that Billy Joe Royal and Joe South were still here with us to share their wonderful voices with us. Tommy Roe is still here, but has retired. I Love all of them, Joe is my true Love.
I honestly don't know what to make of this. Sullivan apparently wouldn't even let South do his own guitar playing, he made South sing the song as part of a trio, and his musical director Vegased out the arrangement with horns. That's not how South intended for his song to go. But I know, it was Sullivan's way of making these performers more palatable for conservative family audiences. That was old Eddie for you!
They will do it in bits and pieces. They uploaded a minute and a half of the start with Joe South last week. Believe me, I wish they would upload complete medleys too since watching complete performances is better than watching parts at a time. Also, it would allow for more efficiency in uploads so that they could get to more videos before the three year contract is up for posting music content. I assume that they cut up medleys to increase their ad revenue. More videos, more ads. It's the only rationale I can think of. I love that they are making the rare content available, I just hope they post as much music as possible before the three years of posting are up, and I wish each musical segment could be presented in its entirety, or at least the medleys. In any case, I'm very happy for this channel and look forward to their posts each day, even if some videos are needlessly short.
@@TomElvisSmith Who is allowed to post for three years according to the contract? Do you know any other details about the contract, or have a link where I can read about it?
@@JoyneFreedom Sofa Entertainment, owner of the Sullivan archives, signed a deal with Universal Music Enterprises (UMe), which allowed them a license to post music videos from the Sullivan show. In the original press releases, it was stated they would be posting videos daily for three years, so I assume that is the length of the contract. They started posting daily in June of last year. If you google UMe, Sofa, and Sullivan, you will find news reports about it.
Love all three, but Tommy Roe gets the nod for having the best singing voice, being the most handsome, and releasing one of the first singles I purchased as a kid.
Go to the Daily Motion video platform, type either 'Joe South' or 'Tommy Roe' in the search box, and the video of their full performance will be pulled up to view.
Joe performed ok here. He also did get nervous performing. Yes, he had addiction problems as do A LOT of musicians and actors back then and today. He did admit that he did have drug addictions and finally got clean before he died, thank God.
I had not realized how much they all looked alike, sort of. Back then I didn't even know what they looked like. I had never seen them, only heard them on the radio. We didn't watch Ed Sullivan. We watched Hee Haw.
Always been a fan of Joe South and his songs. Ironic how this performance I'd never seen was preceded by a CBD weed product called "Mood", then we see how f**ked up Joe South looks, though his performance was top notch as was Billy Joe's and Tommy's. Great pairing of ATL talent; the CBS band did a great musical rendition regardless of what others posted.
@@rickdaystar477 I Love it!! Those were the days.! Now, some wear their pants down so their underwear shows, ripped jeans... the ones we got rid of because they weren't wearable anymore. Shirts all wrinkled like they slept in them. I'd take that dude in the middle any day!
@@that70sgirl90 Hey 70's Girl you got it going on! You know what works..👍😎 Nobody has pride and self respect for themselves in this generation and there clothes reflect that.
@@rickdaystar477 So True! 👍I'm all about living and let live. Not judging others, but where is one's self respect? Sometimes I think that people don't have mirrors in their house.

Pure class. Those were real singers. Much respect from Romania.
3 of the Best singer/songwriters and musicians of my lifetime. They will live forever.
2024 anyone....HIt forever
35 yr old generation whatever here. I don’t care. I grew up on 50s, 60s, doo wop, British Invasion, all of it. This brought me to tears.
Brilliant comment. This performance is a dadgum inspiration.
@@waukivorycopse2402thank you! I may be “young” but I know my stuff 😊
This song says it all. Way way back then. He was way ahead of his times when he wrote the song.

I never realized that Tommy Roe was So tall! At least by comparison anyways.
@@peakayharris8707He must get _Dizzy_ being so tall.

Joe looks so happy singing his song with Billy and Tommy.
I Loved this song as a child. MY DAD bought this song, and he played it,I asked him what his he singing about? My father sId you will see one day.He sure was right. RIP Dad
I love this song. I have the 45 and it's almost worn out through repeated playing.
Three highly underrated American talents.
I'm Marty's widow I remember all of you You were were so good
Wish they would have uploaded the entire performance together! One of the best Ed Sullivan appearances ever.

Funny you should say that, Joe South wrote a song titled "Chills"!! Great song from his younger years.
I absolutely love this three part rendition of this song. Joe's rich voice shines through in this take!
What is really amazing is that he had that terrific deep voice into his later years too. Some singers voices kind of age, but his was always terrific. Wonderful sound.
We needed that song back then, we need it now, and we'll need it forever.

@@Caperhere Thanks I'll check it out.
This song was about the government and the south and is amazing it was played.
It was about self deception.
I miss them so much! And, I'm 70! Joe South never wrote a bad song..lyrics or music.
So right Barbara Jordan
I'm 60, and I greatly miss them! We definitely need to turn back the clocks!
Now this is an unexpected gem!!!
Cool guys. All three quite alike in a way, and yet so different in their personalities and appearance.
When music was music! When they dressed respectfully! Thank you for sharing! 💖
Truth Indeed
And the singers sang, not the machines 😉🤖
And wore the coolest sideburns lol
Wish there was more music like this now-a-days!
Absolutely!!
THERE IS BUT, YOU HAVE TO TRAVEL BACK IN TIME VIA, RUclips.
Three very underrated artists. Would’ve been awesome to throw BJ Thomas in the mix as well.
This looks like Georgia boys only, haha.
They’re all great, but Okie BJ Thomas could outsing them all I think.
I Love these Georgia boys.

Masterpiece...
The sound of Atlanta pop!
Bill Lowery nutured and developed them into hit makers
Amen!
The best!!
This is the first time I see those guys sings together 🎶
Joe South did the best songs.
He sure did!!
All three great singers and performers. This is great.
LOVE JOE SOUTH ❤
He was the best.
I grew up on this great music and I raised my son on this great music.
When America WAS America and music was great entertainment. Thank you for the memories.
Fantastic 🎉
Billy Joe Royal is the man. Note on your pillow burn like a rocket I miss you already great tunes
Blly Joe Royal was my favorite as was Gene Pitney. Royal had a unique voice and I liked Down in the Boondocks.
Joe South wrote that song too!
You're right, both Royal and Pitney had unique voices and are still a pleasure to listen to.
A great song and three underrated performers. There was a best selling book about relationships called "Games People Play" by psychiatrist Eric Berne.. Joe South thought it would make a good song title. 👍
Oooh! I love books and I love fun facts. So cool.
He was right.
Great 😃👍 Memories from the Ed Sullivan show.
Perfect.
Joe South...great voice, great song 🎼💖
He was a great talent. Miss him.
I am so very pleased that I enjoyed the 1960's-1990's...great time and great music.

Three TOTAL Talents!
Great tune that defined a great era!
Beautiful song i love it!
Good Bass line 😮

I think Joe may have had one or two going by the eyes. LOL

Beautiful performance and song, just terrible to see in this video, how Joe is prisoned in his H addiction 😢 rip

No way ...they are sexy..
I don't know, they can look good on the right man.
Ed must have overbooked the acts, so he had three of them perform together.
Great song, great voices but this video felt awkward to watch. Joe’s movement was strange.
Joe South was nervous when he performed on television, but he seemed to be ok here.
