Joe Tex was a complex man torn between stardom as an innovative soul singer and his devout dedication to the teachings of The Honorable Elijah Mohammed. I Gotcha is an amusing and provocative look at Joe Tex during the most critical part of his lifetime, and in true Black Ensemble Theater style, will identify with both his strengths and weaknesses as a human being through music. The audience can enjoy songs like Skinny Legs and All, Show Me, Hold On To What You Got, and many others. In this moving World Premiere, I Gotcha writers Joe Plummer and David Barr do not forget the music legends that made up the Soul Clan the great Solomon Burke, Wilson Pickett and Ben E. King, featuring some of their most famous hits including Solomon's Cry To Me, Wilson's Midnight Hour, and Ben E. King's This Magic Moment.
