Joseph Lewis Thomas

Now, Joe was a beast.

“Mummy why are you pissed?” I heard my son ask.

“I’m not pissed sweetie” I said

“But I thought I heard you say you were pissed.”

That was when I realised that I had spoken my thoughts out loud.

I thought I had kept it in my mind.

“No, I actually said ‘Joe was a beast'” … And then more questions came like a flood.

But really, Joe was a beast. The good kind. The amazing kind. The one that sends chills all over you when you hear him sing.

Joe was proud and gutsy. He was bold, confident and certain.

For confident and certain… 😂… Yeah, I laugh. It’s what I do whenever I listen to All the things (your man won’t do).

Bold with his lyrics in What If A Woman… How many people would sing that?

Proud in Love Is a Game and Somebody’s Gotta Be On Top

Gutsy in Make You My Baby

Compassionate in I Wanna Know

I’ve been listening to his last album… It’s growing on me

I loved Joe then, I still love him now.
