Good God...memories.I remember listening to “Don’t It Make You Wanna Go Home” over and over in Basic Training in ‘69.To this day I get the same feeling in my gut when I hear it as I did 40+ years ago.

I loved Joe South and his music back in the day.

I read several years back that he was living homeless in Hawaii. If true...looks like he must have made it back home.

I like his version of The Purple People Eater Meets the Witch Doctor (1958), which the Big Bopper (J. P. Richardson) also recorded.

My Son-in-Law works for Southern Poly Tech (SPSU). This evening my daughter told my wife that Joe South attended Southern Tech, way back when, but dropped out to make his music.

I have at least three Joe South songs on my YouTube playlists of less than 200 songs.

Rest well Joe South!

I liked Joe’s song ‘Hush’, later covered by Deep Purple. I still have the 45.

"Down In The Boondocks," "I Knew You When," "Children"

A GREAT GREAT songwriter. Most of his songs are damn near perfect.

That’s him playing the guitar intro on “Chain Of Fools” by Aretha.

Billy Joe Royal recorded several of his songs in the 1960s, including “Down in the Boondocks” and “I Knew You When",

RIP, Joe. Those were two of my favorite songs when I was a teenager.

One of my all time favorite snogs has been “Don’t it make you wanna go home”. Looking at the changes in places I used to go and even where I live makes the lyrics even more profound. I remember all his songs they were hits when I was growing up.
