Oh, did I get teased by the boys as a young girl when this song came out. Fooled them all, though. As I grew older, those skinny legs turned into hot and sexy legs. It made me feel real bad then, but the joke was on them!
I won the SKINNY LEGS AND ALL contest in Columbus, Georgia at the Municipal Auditorium at the age of 15 years old! I won a barrel of KFC! I knew I had the skinniest legs. Other females got up there just to be there. When Joe pointed to me, the audience rolled!
i'm 58 and i'm a guy and this song popped into my head outta no where. i just had to look it up and to be honest, i still remember the song. no clue how. must have stuck somewhere in my brain for many many years.
The bass player on this cut was J. Alfred Cook from Thibodaux, LA. He passed away and was replaced by Clarence Hadley from Raceland, La. Clarence is the brother of Leroy Hadley the lead guitarist.
Dang how is it that James Brown grabbed all the headlines, when this dude was laying down the smooth moves as well. Well, glad I don't have skinny legs, he would make fun of me.
The lead gutarist is my father, Lee Hadley.. I grew up listening to pretty much all of Joe Tex's music, along with many of the other greats!! I always smile when Mr. Tex calls my daddy's name in this song!! This is great music!!
