I am not even Mexican but this music feels nostalgic. I didn’t even grow up around Hispanics till I was 10. Never even appreciated tacos till well into my adulthood. But I don’t know what it is about this music, it’s got a hold on me like I grew up with listening to it since my childhood. All good family memories and feelings flood my senses. Was this my identity in my last life? Idk, but it makes me wonder. A wonder only something as pure as music can bring to one’s heart.
Kids nowadays are not as fortunate as kids of the past. We had NO MONEY back then but were richer than millionaires with this type of music, the food the get togethers, the dancing, the drinking, the playing of chalupas ,cards, dominoes, horseshoes, the family and friends. My name is JERRY CANTU son of orlando cantu and marisela guardian and I thank the lord everday for being born when i was and for being raisedthe way I was. I lost bothof my parenta in 2020 and it hurt very much,but i have a family of my own and it is my duty to be there for them and raise them right. Thats why every saturday we fill up the pool and the pits and listen this song and many more fromthe past so that we may not ever forget where and who we came from❤
My Dad was a HUGE fan of Little Joe till the day he passed. This was one of the songs we played at his funeral. I will ALWAYS and forever think of him when I hear these songs. This song is now very special to my heart. I listen to it often and can't help but think if him.❤❤❤
I loved little joe's music since I was 12 years old and now I have it in my blood, in my heart and in my soul! Now Im 66 rears old. This is how wonderful his musiv teally is!
They played this at my uncles funeral last week. It truly was the anthem of the Chicano movement when they were still fighting for civil rights. We owe that generation a debt of gratitude because they stood up when the laws did not protect them. I hope we have the courage to do the same when and if those hard won rights are ever taken away. Ben might think its garbage, I doubt he has any idea what the Chicano movement was even about. Just enjoy the rights this generation fought for Ben, they have already been paid for.
My husband better play this at my funeral, we met at “El Baile Grande” and went back every year to listen to Little Joe We still listen to him. We will celebrate our 50th Anniversary 02/16/2020. God Willing
Gonna play this on my road trip to El Paso to see my mom. Many memories, especially since my dad was in a band that played these songs and practiced in our garage.
@@rachelbenitez7727 Thanks. I was so happy to hear these songs. It was also great to see my mom and my family. Six months after I saw my mom, she passed away unexpectedly. I will forever remember her and dad dancing to this music.
This song reminds me of my grandpa how he played little Joe every time I would visit him and we would sing together he will always be in my heart I miss you Armando Arevalo (09/22/21) 🕊 fly high in Heaven❤
My family was deep into the Chicano movement. This song makes me cry, bc of the significance of the song. It was literally the National anthem of the Chicano movement!!
Takes me back to the best days of my youth ! At every family party this was always played !! Much love and respect to all of you that feel this the way I do.
Wow, this song brings back memories of my mom & dad and them listening to a static filled radio station early in the morning while my mom is making breakfast, the smell of something delicious in the frying pan and the smell of coffee and freshly made tortillas. Thanks so much for the sweet memories!
My lovely father's favorite song. A year ago today, 8/18/2019, you departed, a lovely Sunday morning, we were awoken by rain and thunder, just what you love, we knew this would be your special day. We played this song in your funeral and we still play it often. This song keeps me so close to you, brings me love, brings me pain, brings me joy and wonderful memories of you. I miss you so much daddy, thank you for leaving me this song, until we meet again, can't wait to hug you forever ♥️
Rip my heart!!!! My dads favorite song too he left on the 13th of September 2020!!! I miss Him!!! I went to RU-vid tonight … this morning because I wanted to hear my dads song so I started to read and came across your comment!!! I feel you!!! Continue playing it loud for your person as well as your daddy!!! He didn’t leave you just this song, he left a gem of soul that he knew would touch others hearts… you did mine!!! I don’t know why your going through right now, but remember that thunder and rain, comforts!! Keep shining like that star your daddy knew you would be!!!
I just met Little Joe in San Antonio at the Drury Plaza Hotel. Wow!!! It was awesome. Me Raza!!! Grew up listening to him. Little Joe u are the man!!!👍👍👍
Does anyone remember el conquistador in New Braunfels, Texas y los bailes firmes ? The 70's were awesome for the Chicanos y la musica Tejana . Great music , great times called for great memories. Que vivan los Chicanos
My great- granfather wrote this song :) I always come back to this song when I am just feeling down, and every single time, it heals me. I hope you all enjoy his words that caused so much pain in my family yet bring us happiness. Love your family now, heal now, and do better
@@arturobarbosamorales7565 this is my favorite cover of his song. This song paid for my quinceañera 😆 why would I even lie about something like that lol not like it’s a Beyoncé song or something Just thought I’d share something beautiful that could be lost ☺️
Aw this song hits me right in the heart. Family parties, weddings, baptisms, shiiiiiiiit, even funeral get togethers and my family would round up and jam to….Little Joe, Johnny y La familiaaaaaaaaa!!!!
Almost all my family is gone. But we sure have good memories of this good music at weddings and quincenadas! The spirit and memories live on forever! ❤
Ya todo se me acabo No me puedo resistir Si voy un seguir sufriendo, mejor quisiera morir Yo voy vagando en el mundo, sin saber a donde ir Los años que van Pasando, no me canso de esperar A veces que estoy cantando, mejor quisiera llorar Pára Que seguir sufriendo, si nada puedo "lograr Las nubes van pasando se paran un llovisnar Parece que se sostienen, cuando a mi me oyen cantar Cuando a mi me oyen cantar, sí paran a llovisnar Parece que alegran mi alma, con su agua que traen del mar Yo les digo una mis amigos, los que les gusta tomar Que nunca se den al vicio, que los pueda dominar Que en este mundo tirano, hay que savernos tantear Las notas que estoy cantando, me nacen del corazon Y con todo sentimiento las pongo en esta cancion Para ver si asi descansa este pobre corazon Las nubes que van pasando , sí paran a llovisnar Parece que se sostienen cuando a mi me hoyen cantar
Man I wish my kids would listen to this. They're into flossing and some other "music" that don't make sense to me. Simpler times man, simpler times. I'm so thankful I grew up back then. GRIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTOOOO!!!
I remember my grandma doin the same thing but she aslo made menudo every Saturday and Sunday my her brown soul rest in peace!!!! Miss you grandma!!!!!!!!
I hear this song and it brings me back to my pre-teens. My mom and tia would sing this song while my tio would play it on the organ. And if not that, they would have big house parties and play it off the 8 Track stereo and blare it loud. I can remember the ladies in the kitchen cooking and being chismosas. And the men in the back yard drinking Tecate or Dos Equis talking about cars and women. Good times.
This song will always remind me of brother who passed 7/27202 one before my 52nd bday. I will forever cherish our last moments together. Love you big brother with all my heart! Rest In Peace.
the king of the brown sound.little joe see a hand full times rip it up every time.tejano by birth live in California but we'll always tejano to the Bone
listening to this old song makes me say " soy chicano?". I ain't been chicano since the rebel years of the 60s. Viva la raza. It's got good lyrics to practice spanish.
The more and more I listen to this song the more I fall in love with it. I’m no sure what it is but this makes me want to sing and dance until I can no more.
My brother Ascension today is his birthday 🎂 heavenly birthday brother this song was his favorite n we play this in his funeral that what he wanted RIP I miss you so much 💔
I dedicate This song to my big sis who passed away today. Bennie Jean Butler 💕 I love you. Finally you found your answers and God and his Angels are with you patiently waiting.
My Dad's favorite song, He loves Little Joe! So nostalgic tambien, Reminds me of the backyard bbq's & All the family drinking, laughing and dancing! My Dad wants this jam played at His funeral, You got it Dad! #ColorHimFather

I Wholeheartedly Dedicate this song to my Beloved Husband Mike. We met at a Little Joe dance in our hometown San Antonio Convention Center. We danced to this song and all other songs after that all night. FOREVER MY LOVE BABE!💜✝️💜✝️💜✝️
remindes me of bein at my abuelos house....wakin up in the mornin with my grandma n grandpa up early talkin..smell of coffee and tortillas and this old school tejano playin on the radio...thats how im the only teenager in my town that likes this stuff haahaa its a beautiful music
My grandfathr was the one that wrote these lyrics answer sold them. Although My mother still had me in her belly, I still feel an awesome connection to My grandfather even I hear it. He was an amazing writer And poet And Thanks to this song I got to experience the best quinceanera !
I beg to differ Kronica Ashley, My father wrote the lyrics to this beautiful song. His name is Alejandro Carreon Sr. from El Paso, TX. He wrote these lyrics' 6 years before this song came out. Only God knows how Little Joe got a hold of it but never the less, I'm so proud of my father. I Love You Pop's
I am 66 years old and have listened to little Joe and the Latinairs, then the Familia. Great memories of the past but looking forward to keep listening He is our Vicente Fernandez. Love you, my Man
Memories of this when my sister and brother would stay the weekends at my grandparents. I remember this song playing on the radio while my abuela would make breakfast with homemade tortillas.
From good old Idalou/ Lubbock Texas. Remember jamming this song with my awesome TIOS. LATIN SOULS AND CERVANTEZ AND COMPANY. I loved playing for the people. Thank you for letting us play yalls weddings. Quinceneras and church Jamaicas.
I grew up listening to Little Joe Y La Familia in Phoenix Az. Thanks to my Tio Genero, rest in peace, he was more like a brother to my brother and I. got us hooked on this great music!!!
even though im from juarez i like this music it reminds me when i was kid when family gathered at grandpas home and we lived at the rancho great memories. pd reminds me of good music
This song brings tears of joy thinking of my dad. As a kid my dad would play this song and me and my mom would dance on the kitchen floor. Love you dad!
Puro Gente Buena y trabajadora, Nunca dejen caer la bandera. Adelante con la frente en alto Sale pa' San Anto, Houston, el Valle, Dallas, El Chuco y todo Tejas. Saludos a los 18 wheelas🚛🚛🚛🚓 Saludos del RGV
I know what you mean, man!! Reminds me of my aunt's boyfriend who played in a tejano band and was the lead singer and they used to sing this song. We went to a lot of dances back in the 70's in my junior high and high school years. Glad I did because I sure don't get to go now. No one wants to go anymore. :( This has always been my favorite song and tonight, 9/27/16, I JUST FOUND OUT THE NAME by accident. Wondered what this song was, and played and WOW!! MY SONG!! LOVE IT!! I still hum it around the house when I'm doing house work, doing the dishes or just running errands. So glad I found it. Now I'm going to play it into oblivion.
This is memories of the past with some really good friends kilo neto chango tepo y la weda haven't seen them since 1968miss them from your friend Freddy garza de soledadcalif. Aka el ojo de vidrio
Lo mejor en música chicana son unos maestros No tuve la dicha de verlos en vivo pero me hubiera encantado verlos y escucharlos El que hacía los arreglos mis respetos de otro nivel pero en general todos son unos maestros Saludos desde Mexico
I grew up seeing this album in the living room coffee table not knowing that my whole childhood I had been staring at gold that would later in life change it. Hell I learned how to draw because of that eagle on the cover. Question how many of you know that album opens up and has the whole eagle on it. Little Joe all I can simply say is Thank You
