Joe South, Singer-Songwriter From 70s, Dies at 72

777 views

Singer-songwriter Joe South, who performed hits in the late 1960s and early 1970s such as 'Games People Play' and 'Walk A Mile In My Shoes' and also penned songs including 'Down in the Boondocks' for other artists, died Wednesday, his music publisher said. South was 72.

South, whose real name was Joseph Souter, died at his home in Buford, Ga., northeast of Atlanta, according to Marion Merck of the Hall County Coroner's office. Merck said South died after having a heart attack.

'He's one of the greatest songwriters of all time,' said Butch Lowery, president of the Lowery Group, which published South's music. 'His songs have touched so many lives. He's such a wonderful guy and loved by many.'

South worked as a session guitar player on recordings of some of the biggest names of the 1960s — Aretha Franklin, Bob Dylan and Simon & Garfunkel, among others. But he had a string of hits of his own starting in the late 1960s that made his booming voice a familiar one on radio stations, with a style that some described as a mix of country and soul.

He is perhaps best known for the song 'Games People Play,' which reached No. 12 on the Billboard charts in 1969 and won him two Grammys for Best Contemporary Song and Song of the Year. The opening lines evoked the message songs of the era: 'Oh the games people play now, every night and every day n.

    Karen Black, Oscar-Nominated Star of ’70s Classics, Dies at 74

    Karen Black, the Oscar-nominated star of groundbreaking films of the '60s and '70s like 'Easy Rider,' 'Five Easy Pieces' and 'Nashville,' died on Thursday at the age of 74. Her husband, Stephen Eckleberry, confirmed on Facebook that she succumbed to cancer after a two-year battle.
    Black trained at the Actor's Studio in New York under the legendary acting teacher Lee Strassberg before making her film debut in 1966 with Francis Ford Coppola's early film 'You're a Big Boy Now.' She shot to stardom three years later in the counterculture classic 'Easy Rider' alongside Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper as one of the women who join the bikers on a drug trip in a New Orleans cemetery ('Mickey' singer Toni Basil was the other).
    Black earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress in 'Five Easy Pieces' as the country-singing waitress in an unhealthy relationship with Jack Nicholson's disaffected classical pianist. This led to roles in many high-profile films of the 1970s, including 'The Great Gatsby' with Robert Redford, Robert Altman's 'Nashville,' and 'Family Plot,' Alfred Hitchcock's final film. She also hosted 'Saturday Night Live' in its second season (she returned to the show again in 1981). Her most indelible work of the decade, though, might well be the TV movie 'Trilogy of Terror,' where she p

    The music world mourns today as we lose another great favorite and talented musician, Joe South, who passed away on September 5th, 2012.

    Joe South (born as Joseph Souter) was a well-known session guitarist, and played guitar for other well-known acts in the 60s, such as: Aretha Franklin, Bob Dylan, and Simon & Garfunkel. With Simon & Garfunkel, South’s electric guitar riffs can be heard on their hit “Sound of Silence.”

    During the late 1960s, South earned a Grammy award for “Best Contemporary Song” and “Song of the Year” for his original work of Games People Play, a song that made it to #12 on the Billboard charts at the time. This catchy song is the song that South is most well-known for.
    After this hit, South continued to write songs for other recording artists. One of his most well-known compositions was I Never Promised You a Rose Garden, sung by Lynn Anderson in 1971. This song was a hit for both Anderson and South, and reached popularity abroad in 16 different countries.

    Joe Root Biography | Life Story, Records | England Captain Joe Root's Success Story

    Being the captain of the England team is never easy. If it’s the Test side, the job is possibly more difficult. There’s a rich culture of loving Test cricket and the experience of doing well in the longest format. Unlike other countries, Test cricket is more important to England than any other format. At least that was the case until 2015.

    But even with the success of the white-ball teams, Test cricket remains a thing of joy for the English fan. To lead the English Test side is possibly the biggest privilege a cricketer growing up in England can have. But there hasn’t been a more difficult time to lead the England Test team. Yet, he does that. He has done everything possible to stand up for this role.

    Growing up in Yorkshire, he would have dreamt of playing for England. Being from a place that has produced batting maestros like Geoffrey Boycott and Michael Vaughan, the standards set for him were pretty high, to begin with. But he stood up to it. He learned the craft. When world cricket saw him for the first time at the U-19 World Cup 2010, everyone instantly knew something was special about him.

    He made his debut in 2012 on England’s tour of India and started his career with an impressive 70-odd on a turning track in Nagpur. That knock helped England draw the match and take home a series from India for the first time in 28 years. It happened with possibly England’s best ever batting line-up. Alastair Cook, Kevin Pietersen, Ian Bell, Jonathan Trott, and England’s best ever wicket keeper-batter, Matt Prior. He was just the new kid on the block. Eight and half years later, he is all England has.

    Since his debut, no one has played more Test matches than him. With time, England’s batting greats kept leaving one by one. In an era where the focus shifted to building a name for themselves in white-ball cricket, England somehow stopped producing batsmen who were capable of bossing Test cricket. Gone were the days where they had just fi
