Showing a little love for a fellow Georgia native today.
Joseph Lewis Thomas AKA Joe hails from Columbus, GA.
The son of a pastor, Joe grew up singing, playing the guitar, and writing music in church.
After moving to New Jersey, he caught his first big break with a single on the Wayans' Brothers film, "Don't Be A Menace To South Central While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood."
I've got to see that movie.
In 1997, he recorded the breakthrough album, "All That I Am" which eventually went platinum.
Since then, he has released 6 more studio albums, a "Greatest Hits", and two Christmas albums.
Last year, he recorded this song for the Maze tribute album, "Silky Soul Music".
In my humble opinion, he makes it sound just as good or better than the original.
That's how we do things in the Peach state.
Gosh! His voice is like a mixture between Maxwell and Seal to me. Love that.
