Some Famous People called Joe Hunter
Joe Hunter (cricketer)
Joseph Hunter (3 August 1855 – 4 January 1891) was a professional cricketer, who played 143 matches for Yorkshire County Cricket Club between 1878 and 1888. Hunter also played five Test matches for England.
Born in Scarborough, Yorkshire, England, Hunter, who was one of five brothers, learnt his cricket on the beach at Scarborough and went on to become a first-class wicket-keeper. Although not rated as amongst the best of his contemporaries, he went on Alfred Shaw's tour of Australia in 1884/5, and it was there that he played his five Tests. He was dogged by ill-health, however, and retired from cricket in 1888, when he was replaced as Yorkshire's wicket-keeper by his brother, David.
Hunter originally was a stonemason, but went on to become a pub landlord.
Hunter died in January 1891 in Rotherham, Yorkshire, aged 35.

Joseph Edward Hunter (November 19, 1927 – February 2, 2007) was an American musician and keyboardist, known for his recording session work with Motown Records' in-house studio band, the Funk Brothers. One of the original Funk Brothers, Hunter served as band director for the band from 1959 until 1964, when he left Motown and was replaced by Earl Van Dyke.
Hunter was born in Jackson, Tennessee, United States. Though his time with the Funk Brothers was short, his keyboard playing was integral to the "Motown Sound" . Hunter left a lasting impression on future Motown session musicians, and artists such as Stevie Wonder. He also produced and arranged various soul tracks during the 1960s. He was involved with Pied Piper Productions. Some artists that Hunter can be affiliated with are Dennis Edwards, The Hesitations, Freddy Butler and John Lee Hooker.
Hunter's influences include Art Tatum, Sergei Rachmaninov, and Nat King Cole. Among the many records he played piano on are "Shop Around" by The Miracles (though the Gerald Posner book, Motown, credited Berry Gordy, Jr), "Do You Love Me" by The Contours, "Pride and Joy" by Marvin Gaye, and "Heat Wave" and "Come and Get These Memories" by Martha & the Vandellas.
Joe Hunter died of natural causes on February 2, 2007, at the age of 79. He was a full-time musician in the Detroit area at the time of his death.
He is not to be confused with the Texan pianist Ivory Joe Hunter, who died in 1974; nor with the Motown producer and songwriter Ivy Jo Hunter.
