Description:

Released on Dial Records, this double-sided single demonstrates Joe Tex’s versatility — the A-side, “Keep the One You Got,” is a smooth, mid-tempo soul gem with heartfelt lyrics and warm horn arrangements. Tex’s vocal dances between pleading and preaching, drawing from gospel and blues traditions.

The flip, “Go Home and Do It,” ramps up the energy with funkier guitar licks and tighter rhythm work, signaling the direction Tex’s mid-to-late ’60s recordings were taking toward harder grooves and danceable funk. It’s prized among funk DJs for its crisp instrumentation and classic Tex swagger.
