For the brief period of 1969-1971, as both songwriter and singer, Joe South had
the market cornered on a distinctive brand of country-soul exemplified by his
signature hit, "Games People Play." He had been kicking around the music
business for more than a decade by then, having scored minor hits with the Big
Bopper's "The Purple People Eater Meets the Witch Doctor" in 1958 and "You're
the Reason" in 1961, written the Tams' 1962 Top 20 R&B hit "Untie Me," and
worked as a Nashville session musician. Between 1965 and 1967, he wrote and
produced five pop chart records for Billy Joe Royal, including "Down in the
Boondocks," "I Knew You When," and "Hush." Deep Purple remade "Hush" for a Top
Five hit in 1968. By then, South had secured a recording contract with Capitol,
and beginning with "Games People Play" he scored six chart entries through 1971,
among them "Walk a Mile in My Shoes," which Elvis Presley performed, and "Birds
of a Feather," which the Raiders remade for a Top 40 hit. Meanwhile, Lynn
Anderson turned South's "Rose Garden" into a gold-selling Top Five pop hit and
country chart-topper. Then, following his brother's suicide, he gave it all up
and lived on his royalties. (An attempted comeback a few years later failed.)
This midline-priced best-of includes all of his Capitol hits as well as versions
of many of his compositions that were hits for others. His work remains
impressive; the songs themselves have simple, compelling melodies and lyrics and
he sings them with conviction. The quality belies the small size of his catalog.
