I have completely re-written this article, thus representing just one of the two similarly named musicians, that had caused the confusion. The 'other' Joe Hicks, is now only mentioned in a line to hopefully prevent similar problems in the future. From my 'research' work (NOT original research), the R&B singer more fully described and referenced in this article, is the better known individual. In my honest view, and I am open to other editors comments, the 'other' Joe Hicks (a Delta blues drummer and singer) would struggle to pass the notability criteria to justify an article. Even the group he was later in, the Fieldstones, do not presently have an article here.
