Bishop Joe Simon says they are missing a big part of Michael Jackson History
Many celebrities have and will be expressing their condolences to the Jackson Family, former R&B recording artist, Grammy Award winner and Rhythm & Blues Foundation inductee Joe Simon is among them.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRLog (Press Release) – Jul 01, 2009 – Many celebrities have and will be expressing their condolences to the Jackson Family and the great sense of lost that we all feel as a result of the passing of one of the greatest entertainers the world has ever produced, former R&B recording artist, Grammy Award winner and Rhythm & Blues Foundation inductee Joe Simon is among them.
"When I heard that Michael Jackson had passed I was deeply touched and saddened by the loss of life."
During our conversation I learned that he had some history with the young Michael Jackson and his brothers.
It was Joe Simon in the spring of 1968 who first introduced Michael Jackson and the Jacksons to the New York Audience and the world at the Apollo Theater as a paid act on the Joe Simon Show.
Bishop Simon says about those days at the Apollo:
"I would co-star with other top artist when they were headlining but I would have problems getting them to co-star with me when I was the headline act because no one wanted to co-star when I was headlining. They always wanted to be viewed as bigger than me."
One day in the spring of 1968, Bishop Simon says:
“I was in my office and received a telephone call from Universal Attraction Booking Agency in New York City. Universal Attractions was the biggest booking agency of the time, booking exclusively James Brown, Joe Simon, Wilson Pickett and other headlining R&B acts of that era. My agents at Universal Attraction, Larry Myers and Dolores called to say that it was only a matter of time before the "Joe Simon Show" was scheduled to be at the Apollo, which meant there were two or three days left before curtain time."
Unable to get other top artists to appear with him as a supporting act he was not concerned because he was always out to help others get their break.
"My Agents also said that they had this young group that they wanted me to see, and they asked me if I would put them on "The Joe Simon Show" at the Apollo. I was at my office promoting Joe Simon, I was a promotion man for a long time in the business, and I said to my agents, go ahead, put the kids on, I don’t have time to come down there, I don't have to see them. My agents said, no, you need to see them; you might want to sign them to your record label, Spring Records. I took a taxi over to the Apollo where the Jacksons were practicing in the basement. After looking at them and listening to them, I said they are real good, but my company is not set up to handle kids."
Teddy Young, who was Wilson Pickett’s drummer for several years, and became Joe Simon's drummer on that day and toured with him, was there on the Joe Simon Show at the Apollo when the Jacksons appeared.
According to Teddy Young:
"Recalling my engagement as Joe Simon's drummer in 1968, on the Joe Simon Show at the Apollo, The Jacksons pulled up to the Apollo in a blue and white ford van with a U haul trailer hitched on the back. Catherine (Mrs. Jackson), asked some of the members of the Joe Simon band if her children, the Jacksons could go with them to eat in between shows. They also played basketball with us across the street. They trusted Joe Simon and knew he was a professional. They knew he was not about nonsense and didn't tolerate drinking or drugs. The owner of the Apollo did not want the Jacksons on the show; he said they had no drawing power. Joe Simon insisted that they be on the "Joe Simon Show" at the Apollo.
On the show were Joe Simon, the 5 Stair Steps, the Jacksons and Sandman Sims.
While the band was playing and the curtains were still down, before Joe Simon was announced by his brother Roy to come on stage he would do a spin dance, Michael and his brothers were back stage watching him do his spin before he came out on the stage. Michael Jackson asked Joe Simon how to do that spin that he does and right there at the Apollo, Joe Simon taught Michael Jackson how to do that quick spin that he is so famous for."
Bishop Joe Simon says, "It was brought to my attention that some important people at the Apollo Theatre did not want the Jacksons to perform and I said to them with strong words that it was my show and if I say they are going to be on the show, they are going to be on the show. And the rest is history.
Mr. Hal Jackson, one of the biggest radio personalities of the time was at my show at the Apollo in the audience and on closing night he quickly hired the Jacksons to perform at the Miss Black America Teenage Pageant, which was also in 1968.”
Mr. Teddy Young says "Joe Simon is the best person I ever worked with, he did a lot of things to help a lot of people".
Bishop Joe Simon concluded by saying, "There will never be another Michael Jackson, the world has lost an amazing talent but it is a testimony to just how uncertain life is and how important it is to live the best life we can because none of us know when it will be our time to leave.
My love and prayer are with the Jackson family."

IMPORTANT BREAKING NEWS ABOUT JOE SIMON
NEW YORK CHRISTIAN TIMES REPORTING
HIP HOP ARTISTS INSULTS THE CHURCH COMMUNITY
The Mission Consortium Of Churches Outraged Over Hip Hop Artist Slight Against Joe Simon
Rap music mogul Jay-Z, former President of Roc-A-Fella Records, Artist Memphis Bleek (Malik Thuston Cox) have managed to insult the church community and provoke the leadership within a church body by sampling former R&B Legend Joe Simon’s music.
The recording of Memphis Bleek’s song "Alright" released on the "534" Album contains extensive samplings of Joe Simon's voice. The song is laced with profanity, the "N" word and references to what appears to be dealing drugs on the street. It even contains a slight against Preachers in the phrase “I don’t go to the preacher…you watch me, I’ll teach ya”.
In addition to the obscenities which are bad enough, having the hook point that says, “They got me back in the game again…” with Joe Simon’s voice in the background negatively implies that Joe Simon is back in the secular music game again or worst, dealing drugs and unfavorable toward preachers who teach the word of God.
The R&B legend Joe Simon is now Bishop Joe Simon and second Presiding Bishop of the International organization. For years now Bishop Joe Simon has been living under his call to the ministry and has often publicly announced his separation from his R&B past and denounced ungodly lifestyles. Bishop Simon has worked tirelessly for the church, all the while displaying unwavering dedication that demonstrates his desire to avoid the stigma that has often followed celebrities who claim to have given their lives to Jesus Christ only to fall back into the life they say they have left. He has set himself apart from those who continue performing their old music while singing for Jesus thereby compromising their witness as Christians. Bishop Joe Simon has been adamant about his stand for Jesus Christ and has striven to maintain a standard of non-compromise. That standard goal has now been tainted according to Dr. Mark Sandilands, First Presiding Bishop of the Mission Consortium of Churches.
“This unfortunate situation has damaged the name of one of our Bishops and forces him and us to do damage control, it is a hindrance to what Bishop Joe Simon is trying to accomplish and an affront to us as an Organization."
Rap Artist Jay-Z - was President of Roc-A-Fella Records in 2005 during the time Memphis Bleek's song "Alright" was released on the "534" Album. Roc-A-Fella Records - is the Record Label that released the song "Alright" on the "534" Album. Island Def Jam Music Group - is the Distribution Company that distributed the "534" Album. Universal Music Group - is the parent company of Island Def Jam Music Group.
The position of Bishop Simon within the organization could be compromised as he could be called into question by his board of Bishops as to whether he authorized the sampling of his voice in the song.
It is also possible that it could have had a negative effect on his obtaining the kind of bookings he desires from within the Christian community.
“We feel that Joe Simon has separated himself from that life style but has now been drawn back into it by appearance through this recording.” (Bishop Sandilands)
According To Bishop Sandilands, Jay-Z is a prudent businessman who has been a leader in the music industry for a long time; he should have considered the detrimental affect such a recording would have had on Bishop Joe Simon. He could have reached out to Bishop Joe Simon to let him know what his plans were and out of courtesy allowed Bishop Joe Simon in on his plans to sample him; this over site concerns the Bishop.
“Your readers can help us to get the Bishop Joe Simon story out and to get the word out that the church is not represented by the secular music industry, our goals are different. We are trying to bring people out of that life style and into a relationship with Jesus Christ.”
While the Bishop acknowledged and praised the humanitarian work that Jay-Z and other secular artist are doing, he was unapologetic about the churches goal to win such people to Jesus Christ.
He also expressed his desire to have Jay-Z and other parties involved to take an active role in clearing things up on this issue.
“They made the mess, we would like them to come to the table and help us clean it up.” (Bishop Sandilands)
Bishop Joe Simon had this to say:
"The CEO and President are responsible for the conduct of the company and how the Company operates. Roc-A-Fella Records’ President Jay-Z / Shawn Carter authorized Roc-A-Fella Records to release a song titled “Alright” containing my voice and my music, placing Bishop Joe Simon on public display in such an explicit and provocative way that it pulverizes my character and vitiates my name and my Ministry.
Also, Island Def Jam Music Group / Universal Music Group pulverized my character and vitiated my name and my Ministry by promoting and distributing Bishop Joe Simon’s name, voice and music.
We are asking for and we are ready and willing to begin a common ground discussion along with a public apology".

Special to Frost Illustrated
FORT PIERCE, Fla.-Forty years ago, he was soothing people's souls with the melodious sound of his voice, cranking out some of pop music's most unforgettable songs-"Let's Do It Over," "Teenager's Prayer," "The Chokin' Kind," "Yours Love," "Get Down, Get Down (Get On The Floor & Let the Good Times Roll)" and the classic "Drowning In The Sea Of Love," among others. Now he's saving souls.
While much of the world still remembers him as an R&B hit making icon and soul singing legend, today Bishop Joe Simon's voice is most often heard from the pulpit, singing gospel and preaching the Word of Jesus Christ around the world as the founder and director of the Bishop Joe Simon Ministries Community Crusade. And, like Christ, that ministry involves more than just talking-for Bishop Simon, it's about doing.
As he explains, the crusade ministers not only to the spiritual needs of individuals of individuals, but focuses on healing and empowering the community. For example, the ministry has conducted a nationwide voter registration drive. Simon also has used the pulpit to bring attention to other community issues, such as homelessness. And, as the official spiritual advisor for the World Conference of Mayors- an international group of mayors from the U.S., Africa, the Caribbean and the Orient-Bishop Simon has been able to bring those causes to a worldwide stage.
It's been three decades since Simon, at the height of his popularity, turned his back on the secular music world and decided to return to his roots-the church. The son of a Baptist minister, Simon sang gospel not only at his father's church but eventually joined the Golden West Gospel Singers. According to various histories, the group eventually turned secular and recorded under the name the Golden Tones.
But, as Bishop Simon explained, he was never that comfortable with secular music. For him, it was merely an economic necessity dictated by the times. It was sing secular music or "pick cotton" to make a living. So, his entry into the ministry in the late '70s and early '80s was not so much a change in direction as it was a return to what he always wanted to do, explained Simon. But, he doesn't discount his years in the "world" as a performer. In fact, his experiences seeing the problems that plagued friends and entertainers from those days are part of the impetus behind the Bishop Joe Simon Ministries Community Crusade's latest thrust-tackling the problem of drug and alcohol addiction.
Bishop Simon has been using his crusade stops around the country and world to tout the benefits of The Love Center Regeneration Ministries, a unique drug treatment center that he said is making a difference in the lives of many troubled people. Based in Fort Pierce, Fla., Simon said the center is designed to help folks who can't initially can't afford to get into other centers or who have been turned away from drug treatment facilities that already are full or overcrowded.
"It's going to be like a Betty Ford Clinic," said Simon, but without the kind of expense that only the rich can afford. "We're reaching out for everybody who wants help."
In addition to seeing some of his old colleagues in secular music fall victim to drug and alcohol abuse, Bishop Simon, who maintains his ministry's main office in Chicago, said he daily sees the impact drug abuse has on everyday individuals and families. The problem is so prevalent, he said, the drug rehab centers in his area are full. The Love Center Regeneration Ministries provides an alternative.
"We let people know we have a drug rehab place and it's located in Florida," he said.
Simon said he was impressed with the commitment and vision rehab director, Pastor Jerome Rhyant, who founded the ministry 12 years ago in his hometown of Fort Pierce. Actually, Pastor Rhyant began his intervention program in 1993 by taking troubled men into his own home until he could find programs to direct them toward. He said he didn't refuse anyone who came to him seriously looking for a way to change. And, Rhyant knew there was a way out, explaining that years earlier, he too had fallen victim to cocaine addiction, but God had blessed him to be delivered from those chains and had sent him on a mission to help others.
By 1995, Rhyant officially had started the Love Center Regeneration Ministries, still using his home as a stopping over point for those in need. Three years later, that grew into something else.
"The Lord gave me a vision in 1998 to take a city block and renovate it," he said.
That city block, once infamously known in Fort Pierce as "Crack Corner," became home to a 21-bed treatment facility that currently offers three programs:
A spiritually-based one-year drug treatment program;
A prison aftercare program, and
A housing and training program for homeless persons.
The three programs are a perfect fit for the center, said Rhyant, explaining that they often are interrelated problems.
"The average substance abuser has been in and out of jail and probably has been homeless at some point," he said.
Rhyant said it's a blessing to have the ministry located there because it teaches people in recovery how to cope with the conditions that helped to push them over the edge in the first place.
"My ministry sits right in the center of Crack City, USA," he said referencing Fort Pierce's legendary drug problems. "If my guy can survive 12 months in this environment, he can survive anywhere in the world."
And, he added, being treated at the center "allows them to be resurrected where they died."
Pastor Rhyant said the vision also showed him that the center ultimately would evolve into a 48- bed facility-and that's already in progress.
The ministry also is set to start offering two additional services- a feeding program and a gang intervention program.
"I am expanding as we speak," he said.
According to Rhyant, the Love Center Regeneration Ministries has served more than 2,000 residents during the past eight years. While a number of clients are referred to the center by prison chaplains, the courts and other ministries, he said the center encourages walk-ins because people who come on their own are most often dedicated to their own recovery.
"Nothing happens until you become intensely desperate and motivated," he said.
Self-motivation is key to the success of the program. In addition to getting people off drugs and off the streets, all the center's programs involve getting clients to take responsibility-with the help of God-for their own lives. For example, while the center largely is supported by donations from the community, people in the program ultimately most contribute to their own rehabilitation.
"There is no upfront cost, but there is a cost," said Rhyant.
Program participants are trained by the ministry to work in a number of businesses operated by the center, including a tree trimming business, a car wash and a mobile auto detailing business among others. Part of the money made by clients in those jobs goes back to the ministry to pay the cost for their rehabilitation. Rhyant said that's only fair and reasonable- and empowering for someone trying to escape the trap of addiction.
"You pay the dope man to kill you, you can invest into the Kingdom of God to heal you," he said. "The addict is 70 to 80 percent responsible for his own care. It's a work therapy program. It's a holistic approach to rehabilitation."
From the testimonies found at his website www.jeromerhyant. com, the program is definitely working. Rhyant and Simon both say they want to see the ministry expand to other cities and the bishop is leading that cheer as he travels about the U.S. and the world.
There's a real need for it," said Bishop Simon. "We're trying to open up places across the country.

JOE SIMON
GRAMMY AWARDWINNER
FORMER RHYTHM & BLUES SINGER
DO YOU KNOW HIM?
”
The purpose of this .. is to inform the reader about the life of Joe Simon. I will attempt to tell the story by writing about my early childhood years, my Rhythm and Blues Entertainment life and the events that led to me becoming a Christian. I will also write about how becoming a Christian has changed my life, in hopes that the reader will come to the understanding that if God can change the life of a sinner like Joe Simon, truly God can change anyone’s life.
“I was born in the rural south, in Simmesport, Louisiana, not very far from New Orleans. As a young child, not yet in my teens, I chopped and picked cotton in the cotton fields. I was raised in a good home by a Christian family.
I would go to church on Sunday and then go back to the cotton field on Monday, and mimic the preaching, praying and singing. My mother would want to spank me so I could continue working, but the older people would get upset at her because they wanted me to continue playing church. However the boss man would get angry with me because all the workers would stop working to listen to me.
As a youngster I was taught about God, heard about God, but I really never knew God, at that time. After becoming baptized, I began singing in churches and on a local radio program with a local gospel quartet. One day when we went to prerecord the local radio program, our lead singer got sick, and the other members said “Joe, why don’t you sing the lead this morning?” I went home and listened to the broadcast and for the first time had the opportunity to really notice that very unusual God given voice, and that distinct Joe Simon Sound.
I moved to the Oakland, Richmond, San Francisco, CA Bay area, where I continued going to church and singing with local quartet groups. Shortly after my quartet years I began to sing with R&B groups. The last R&B group that I sang with fired me. I then began singing Rhythm and Blues on my own, making $5.50 per night, working only two nights per week, in local night clubs. Times got so hard that I couldn’t pay my rent so I had to literally sleep in a chicken coup. I owned only one suit, and I could not afford to get it cleaned, so I would get it pressed, only, and on the nights of the show, I would borrow my friend, Roland William’s shoes to complete my outfit. (when I became a big Rhythm & Blues star, I always tried to give Roland money for lending me his shoes, but he would never accept the money. I never knew what became of Roland Williams; I would love to see and hear from him).
After sleeping in the chicken coup for more than two years, I met Mr. Gary Thompson
who owned the Hush Recording Label. Another teenaged friend who helped me while I was living in the chicken coop was Carl Vories. Carl would sneak and give his lunch money to me that was given to him by his Parents. Mr. Gary Thompson /Hush Recording Label was very instrumental in recording my first hit record, “My Adorable One” Carl Vories helped me put the local band together for this recording, I produced the music and the record, this hit led me from the chicken coup to the Apollo Theater in New York City, and the rest is history. Carl became the keyboard player and Music Director/Road Manager in my band for over 19 years until his death. Although, I didn’t drink or smoke, I didn’t pray three times in twenty-five years, as I worked for Satan. I was a very good so called sinner.
One day, because of my deep rooted Christian upbringing, I found myself beginning to sneak and read the bible. The more I would sneak and read the bible, the more convicted I became, and the more convicted I became, the more I would rebel and try to negotiate with God. I only wanted to be saved just enough to get into heaven, but God wanted me to preach, so I rebelled against God, even more.
But finally, one day, I went back to church, and I truly received Jesus Christ as my personal savior, and was baptized for the second time. At that point, I accepted my calling and preached my first sermon in 1988 to 4,500 people in Alexandria, Louisiana. Becoming a Christian has really changed my life. I am not tempted by the large amounts of monies that are being offered to me by booking agencies and night club owners, to return to the Rhythm and Blues lifestyle. The things that I use to do, I don’t want to do anymore. I spend much of my time, now, touring around the country singing and preaching God’s word, glorifying our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ with the Joe Simon Ministries/Community Crusade, and today I can attest that my greatest joy in life was the day I met Christ.
