Greetings all.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The end of the week is here so I will remind you once again that the Funky16Corners Radio Show<\/strong> podcast drops each and every Friday with the best in funk, soul, jazz and rare groove, all on original vinyl. You can subscribe to the show as a podcast in iTune, listen on your mobile device via the TuneIn app, check it out on Mixcloud, or grab an MP3 right here at the blog.<\/p>\n

The tune I bring you today is another chapter in the fascinating world of Joe South.<\/strong><\/p>\n

South, who had a stellar recording career of his own is probably best known as a songwriter, penning hits for artists like Billy Joe Royal, the Tams, Deep Purple, Lynne Anderson<\/strong> and many others.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s selection is a song that South wrote (it was first recorded by Billy Joe Royal the previous year) and produced for teenage singer R.B. Hudmon<\/strong>\u00a0(his name is misspelled on the label) in 1968.<\/p>\n

Hudmon was a Georgia-based singer who was part of Bill Lowery\u2019s<\/strong> (who Joe South worked with extensively) talent stable in Atlanta. He was only 14 when he recorded South\u2019s \u2018Yo Yo\u2019.<\/p>\n

His version of the song (arranged by South and probably featuring him on guitar as well) is great, upbeat soul, featuring Hudmon\u2019s high tenor and a great horn chart.<\/p>\n

South would go on (as he would with many of the songs he wrote for others) to record the song himself in 1971, as would none other than the Osmonds,<\/strong> who would have one of their biggest hits with a version of the song (quite good, actually) in the late summer of that year.<\/p>\n

Hudmon would go on to have a number of minor R&B hits for Atlantic between 1976 and 1978.<\/p>\n

I hope you dig the record, and I\u2019ll see you all on Monday.<\/p>\n

Keep the faith<\/strong><\/p>\n
