What a great voice. His "Ships that don't come in" was one of my all time favorites.
Rest in Peace, Joe. |

So sorry to hear this. I used to see him every day when he worked at the Foundry, in Duncan, OK. He and his family were regular customers at my sister-in-law's restaurant.
He will be missed.

A truly exceptional singer. He had chops and great tone.
Barry Blackwood, 'Ships That Don't Come In' is one of my favourite recordings by anybody; it's a fine song, too.
Joe did a few too many 'good ole boy' songs for my taste but I have his entire catalog nonetheless. A voice of rare quality.
RIP, Joe Diffie, and my sympathies to his family. There must be a good band that no longer has a gig, too.

A special talent for sure. My favovite. A night to remember.[/u] [/u]I also enjoyed, Bigger than the Beatles. He sings the harmonies at end just like the close harmony on the last chord of She loves you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZJCDfEcFh8

It's suddenly struck me that, in too short a space of time, we've lost two of country music's truly exceptional vocalists: Daryle Singletary and now Joe Diffie.
The loss of them both represents a major loss to music.

So sad. Here's a Harlan Howard and Don Cook song masterfully played by Paul Franklin and sung by Joe Diffie:
