I always loved that song. Rest in peace Mr. White. Thanks Phil
I liked the way NPR described him. "....laid back, with a slightly dangerous demeanor like a well fed alligator...". Seems about right.
Also known for "Polk Salad Annie", my favourite version of which is by Tom Jones...
SOCK A LITTLE POLK SALAD TO ME!
Rest in peace Tony Joe White
White wrote some of the standouts on Tina Turner's "Foreign Affair" CD, including the well-known "Steamy Windows" and the lesser known 'Undercover Agent For The Blues. "
R.I.P. Tony!
I remember seeing him in the Tina "Girl from Nutbush" docu.
