JOE MOE
... In Memoriam ...

Say it ain't so JOE MOE, thaT you
have gone away,
Your style, your moves,
the way you walk, the way you talk,
You've left us in disarray.
Your conversation, your imagination
The knowledge that you shared,
it's why everyone misses you.
They know you really cared,
You wasn't no jive, you wasn't no fluff,
just down to earth.
We knew you were toughl
Your dance moves were original
your steps individual.
The way you wore your hat
most of us could never wear one like that.
You knew who you were and who you wanted to be.
My kind of fellow Joe, you really impressed me.
You taught some players how to play,
you taught some players what to say.
You go in the Players Hall Of Fame
For ever and a day.
And when they mention what kool should look like
and what kool should do
let there be a picture Joe a picture there of you!

... Honoring Him Today ...

HE'S A MELLO, MELLA FELLA
HIS DJing TALENTS ARE STELLA
HE'S CHICAGO KOOLYOU SEE
HE'S WHAT CHICAGO KOOL SHOULD BE

HE TALKS ABOUT PEACE AND LOVE
HIS MANNERS ARE LIKE THAT OF A DOVE

"STEPPERS LET'S GO TO WORK"
HE'S A SMART MAN AND
HE'S NOBODY'S JERK

WHENEVER YOU SEE HIM
HE SHOWS YOU NOTHING BUT CLASS.
HE'S SO MUCH IMITATED

'BOUT "GO SAM GO"
WE ALL KNOW THAT HE'S THE MAN
THAT WILL HELP YOU IF HE CAN
