Joe Junior was the gentle “boy next door” teenage idol. He was of Macanese (Chinese and Portugese) ancestry. His family moved from Macau to Hong Kong where Joe was born and grew up. Joe and The Zoundcrackers recorded “I Gotta Find Cupid” in 1966 which went to the RTHK pop chart. After some major changes in band members, they regrouped as Joe Jr. & The Side-Effects. They recorded “Here’s a Heart” in 1967 which became his most successful single. They also released two successful LPs (“Effective” and “Tribute”) before disbanding. Joe Junior continued to sing and record as a solo act.

Joe Junior & The Side-Effects
(EXCLUSIVELY YOURS)
No more playing the field for me
Since I met you my heart’s not free
I just wanna be exclusively yours
Once you kiss me that I found out
There’s no other I care about
I just wanna be exclusively yours
I’ll take you to the dance
I’ll take you to the show
I’ll take you every single place you ever wanna go
I don’t know where it is, I don’t know what we do
As long as I can just be there with you
If it’s my love you’re longing for
You can have it forever more
I just wanna be exclusively yours
