If you consider Joe’s music, undoubtedly one of many first songs that ought to come to thoughts is his largest hit so far, “I Wanna Know”. However do you know the track virtually didn’t get launched?
We all know that the track was initially on “The Wooden” soundtrack, however as we discovered in an interview we did with producer Edwin “Tony” Nicholas, the track was virtually scrapped.
Right here is the story of how the track was written and produced.
Edwin “Tony” Nicholas: Properly that’s humorous, it was truly his sophomore album referred to as “All That I Am.” Working with Joe was actually, actually cool as a result of the child is loopy proficient, however the humorous half is, I truly began working with him as a favor to a lady I used to be relationship on the time. She was managing Joe, and I assume Joe had bought an advance from Jive and hadn’t turned in any music. So she requested me to assist him end one track, simply because she was going to those inventive conferences, they usually saved asking “The place is Joe, do you may have something, do you may have something?” And she or he by no means had something to show in, no updates or no matter, so simply to kinda maintain him from trying dangerous, she simply requested me to assist him get one track completed, and it truly ended up being the title track “All That I Am.” The president of Jive on the time Clive Calder heard the track and requested me to assist Joe end the album, and that’s how I wound up ending the report and out of the six songs, one in every of them is definitely one I did with Gerald referred to as “How Quickly.” Joe was a proficient man, however what’s humorous is “I Wanna Know” was truly purported to be on that album. I used to be requested to play reside bass on that report, however I believe Joe resented the truth that [others] have been concerned on the music facet of issues and he felt that it must be his name, they usually couldn’t agree, so he took the track off the album. It wound up getting used 4 years later when he wanted a track for a soundtrack and didn’t have something to ship and that was mendacity round and he despatched it, and it did nicely.
