The first round of our game of Russian Roulette goes to:
Joe Tex - Show Me which I have from Atlantic Rhythm and Blues 1947-1974 Vol. 6 (buy)
I don't think this is in any danger, so it's a pretty safe song to start with.
Joe Tex was a soul and R&B singer who, when he wasn't feuding with James Brown, developed a style of talking over music, which he called "rap". Yes. THAT rap.
Quentin Tarantino is a big fan, putting Tex's "I Gotcha" on the Reservoir Dogs soundtrack and "The Love You Save (May Be Your Own) on the Death Proof soundtrack
