In his last year’s he was in a blessed marriage of no drugs and no drinking, just making music. He use the proceeds out of the money he earned to finance an orphanage. A man with a golden heart!
I'm glad he found grace in his later years and I believe anyone who does will be a giving and loving individual. Whatever God/higher power/meaning allows you to get there, I'm all for it!
@@soulshouter109 Perhaps some aspects of this performance were live, but I certainly find it difficult to play a bass when it's facing the wrong way! 😂
something else at least as good as original Beatles, I Am the Walrus by Spooky Tooth vocals by Mike Harrison - maybe obscure; Mike Harrison similar to Joe, strong raspy style
Hi Everyone, I have been listening to Joe Cocker way before Woodstock and I believe we all need to start pushing the music academy to induct Joe into the Hall of Fame,
The beatles let cocker come into the studio while they were still recording abbey road to pick out songs he wanted to cover. They clearly had a lot of respect for him.
I sure do miss the 70s and 80s. The music today is not even the same. Sometimes I wish I could find a time machine and go back in time. Life was much easier and everyone enjoyed life! Is this your favorite song?
@@derekkess4103 IMHO... much, if not MOST of what passes & is sold as "Music" today isn't even music when compared to what the TRULY GREAT Artists/Bands of the 60s/70s/80s produced. Frankly (with VERY FEW exceptions), I think many of the Superstar "singers" today can barely sing a note IN-KEY, if at all, without being electronically "Auto-tuned." (I could name them, but will be polite.) And its entirely possible I've blocked them out, but I also can't think of any successful "Bands" out there today that were formed after 1990. They may exist, but I don't recall even one. Only solo artists. Altho now that I think of it... IF they DO exist... I'm quite sure I don't want to know.🙏♥️🇺🇲✌
LYRICS/TESTO: She came in through the bathroom window Protected by a silver spoon But now she sucks her thumb and wanders By the banks of her own lagoon Didn't anybody tell her? Didn't anybody see? Sunday's on the phone to Monday Tuesday's on the phone to me She said she'd always been a dancer She worked at fifteen clubs a day And though she thought I knew the answer Well I knew what I could not say And so I quit the police department And got myself a steady job And though she tried her best to help me She could steal but she could not rob Didn't anybody tell her? Didn't anybody see? Sunday's on the phone to Monday Tuesday's on the phone to me Oh yeah...
@@garyknoke4543 ya where I come from I thought I was about the only one who had even heard heard of Joe cocker!!! Let alone really love his voice & all of his music. Glad to see there r a lot more of us us out there**** I'm not the only one! R.I.P. JOE
He definitely blows Ringos socks off on With a Little Help, and his take on The Letter is much more robust than the original ( by the Box Tops I believe). He does this great, but I like The Beatles equally. Same for Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood (by The Animals originally).
I agree Jeremy it's a loss to our culture and art for sure.Thank God for this format to not hear and see past music we enjoy but be able to talk about things surrounding the music as well.
Yes I agree too I miss him and he slipped away too soon and I got to say I love the Beatles but Joe cocker can sing that song better than the Beatles any day and on Sunday, four figure speech.
Saw this on tv and thought something not right so went to you tube to read the comments. Thanks for letting me know I wasn't seeing things. I thought maybe this was one of the protest about not wanting to play to recorded music
He wasn't humble when he was into the drugs and whisky he treated those that cared about him like dirt. Even Leon Russell who put the mad dogs and englishman band together to help Joe to pay his debts. In the last 10 to 15 years of his life he turned it around with the help of his wife. Even so he was a legend in his own life time his music will be around foe many decades to come.
I believe the vocals ARE "live" at the time, but the instruments were pre-taped right beforehand if memory serves. This is from the Hy Lit TV show in Phila where I was lucky enough to be on the crew.
Al Gardner I remember the Hy Lit show. I'm glad l ain't the only one who remembered that show. I first saw music videos Thunder Clap Newman- Sometimes in the air and Iron butterfly. used to be on channel 48 in Philadelphia in the late 60's.
Such a great version of this tune...there was something about this style of rock.....alot of it really drives along ....the bass in it just keeps ya foot tapping
I woke up singing this song. It's 1970 and my mom is cleaning and I am in the living room doing homework and my mom is listening to this happy and waiting for my dad to come home from a day of welding at the ship yard. Well at least I saw she was happy
It is upsetting - to have grown up in this recent generation.. Too many of my fellow peers have no idea of what REAL music is. My father has shown me what real talent looks like. I'm sorry to admit that Joe was not one of the artists- but - Joe has become my all time favorite. Funny enough - "you are so beautiful" was my grandfathers song to my grandmother (on my moms side.) He died young. When my grandmother was failing, I dedicated that song to her, unbeknownst to me that he had attributed that song to her. Rest in Peace Joe. Thank you for your vigor.
I have enjoyed Joe Cocker s F ING rough voice and l thank the heavens l may listen to it recorded! What a wonderful collection of sounds that we all still can listen to now
This song will always be on my playlist. I sure do miss the 70's & 80's music, back when people had full bands, back up singers, horn section and sometimes full orchestra. They sounded just as good live as radio or album version. Those were the days of true musical talent. Is this your favorite song?
As a musician I understand it but god forbid a television producer want the audience to hear a good version of the song. Live sound was and still is awful for the most part.

Another Beatles song that is no longer a Beatles song. They’re amazing, but this and With a Little Help are now Joe Cocker songs. To outdo the Beatles is almost impossible, but he did it with those songs.

Picture this. Tina Turner farewell tour. Joe Cocker fronted for Tina. My daughter was 12. I demanded she go with me to the concert. She didn’t want to go. On hell no! She could thank me when she get older. She is 34 now and this is one of our favorite story’s of our journey through life. Oh, I had an extra ticket so I invited her young boyfriend to go with us. She was so pissed with me at that time. Lol. I had the time of my life. Great memories now! ☮️💜💋

I've been playing bass for almost 50 years, but i can't get nearly that tone from the back of my neck! Hahaha, that was some great comedy there!
does this mean its not live? or his part isn't live? or he's just joking around? im so confused when I saw his bass the wrong way!
@@danielm8903 they are miming to a "live" recording.

Not to sound pious but it's my dream to do that
Hello how are you doing
AGREED (-:
I always love learning some biographical background info thanks for that tidbit Olivia good stuff
I love how Joe Cocker could actually sing live! He remains immortal to me, he'll never truly be gone
Amazing Cocker, indeed.
This performance is lip synced
@@romerorepeat Nope.
@@soulshouter109 Perhaps some aspects of this performance were live, but I certainly find it difficult to play a bass when it's facing the wrong way! 😂
@@soulshouter109 Yep. Take notice how the cymbals never move
The only person who could do a Beatles cover that I could actually listen to. RIP
something else at least as good as original Beatles, I Am the Walrus by Spooky Tooth vocals by Mike Harrison - maybe obscure; Mike Harrison similar to Joe,
strong raspy style
Actually Stevie Wonder's version of We Can Work it Out is great too.
Duane allman Wilson Pickett hey jude
Aerosmith - Helter Skelter
Justin T so true
Hi Everyone, I have been listening to Joe Cocker way before Woodstock and I believe we all need to start pushing the music academy to induct Joe into the Hall of Fame,
Dean Martin Only thing he is known for is his voice. The main song he was known for wasn't even him
Amen!
@@colton8331
Daft comment.
Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Pavarotti - rubbish! All they have is their voices - they don't even write their own stuff!
When I hear a Joe Cocker song, I smell beer!
Now that is a memory!
Hello how are you doing
We miss you so much, Joe! One of the all time greats. He put his soul on every single note.
Joe Cocker , man i miss him. That voice is sultry !
Amen!
The best.
The beatles let cocker come into the studio while they were still recording abbey road to pick out songs he wanted to cover. They clearly had a lot of respect for him.
WOW I didn't know that. Many THANKS (-:
Actually Beatles recorded first version during Let It Be sessions and Glyn Johns played the the version to Cocker. It sounds very similar.
@@mikeloghry9521 not true actually.
@@marguskiis7711 That does make sense. Johns was at the 'Let it Be' sessions.
I never heard or read that but he always had his Beatles covers out really soon after the Beatles did them.
Always loved Joes voice. He sang from the heart. RIP....

Joe “I always like his version better” Cocker. RIP you legend.
Exactly how I feel! Every song he's way better than whoever sang it first.

I think his version didn't come even close to the original.. I mean there is nothing better then the Beatles, at least for me. That's how I see it..
Nobody sings like this anymore and nobody makes music like this anymore
Sadly
Sadly)-: Indeed.
I agree Jeremy it's a loss to our culture and art for sure.Thank God for this format to not hear and see past music we enjoy but be able to talk about things surrounding the music as well.
Youd be surprised i think

Love that bass player being honest! ahahaha
I swear the bass player is nailing it god level
yeah, whats plucking the strings ? :)
god level?
I was honestly wondering if I was the only one that noticed. The drummer too.
The only artist who could hold up a The Beatles song up and give it class what a voice RIP Sheffield’s finest singer 🎤🎶🎶
He killed all the Beatles and Dylan stuff. Owned it. It's what he did. Made other people's songs sound better.
Richie Havens was another.
Stevie wonder too
elvis, ray charles, the oasis brothers aswell
And a decent plumber back in the day too..😂😂
1:57 bassist is killing it
Ha, ha! Didn't anybody see?
🤣 well done
Saw this on tv and thought something not right so went to you tube to read the comments. Thanks for letting me know I wasn't seeing things. I thought maybe this was one of the protest about not wanting to play to recorded music
One of the best... Leon joined him today. Hope they are both playing music again.
you know they are
Leon's in HOF, and the amazing JOE isn't? I live in Cleveland and u won't see me in that place until Joe is!
No one can adequately explain Joe Cocker.
My hero starting from Woodstock. A great artist & a great person. RIP
Same Same (-:
Best cover ever! This video is so great, so raw and simple yet like no one else.
Hello how are you doing
Well Said (-:
This is pure classic music people I love it, we will miss you Joe Cocker
can't you hear me knocking Well a classic cover
Just can't beat Joe Cocker and Chris Stainton together.
The incomparable Mr Joe Cocker ,,,,never has there been an artist with such emotion,,,,he will be missed
Sorely missed indeed )-;
And he was Ray Charles' favourite singer
There are many knockers out there but in his latter years Joe Cocker did a great deal for charity, especially for neglected kids, R.I.P. my friend.
Hello how are you doing
Hello Mike,,are you a fan of Joe Cocker?
Love love love J.C.! What a friggin' voice. His covers might as well be originals since they make you forget about the fact that he didn't write them.
Joe Cocker was Ray Charles' favourite singer. Says it all.
Sensational Joe Cocker..the greatest vocalist of our time and a humble man..has a great band and all performance's were AWESOME..
He wasn't humble when he was into the drugs and whisky he treated those that cared about him like dirt. Even Leon Russell who put the mad dogs and englishman band together to help Joe to pay his debts. In the last 10 to 15 years of his life he turned it around with the help of his wife. Even so he was a legend in his own life time his music will be around foe many decades to come.

Al Gardner I remember the Hy Lit show. I'm glad l ain't the only one who remembered that show. I first saw music videos Thunder Clap Newman- Sometimes in the air and Iron butterfly. used to be on channel 48 in Philadelphia in the late 60's.
He was a legend ...saw him on many occasions back in the day
Sad to see you leave us joe,golden memories
So so good.
I WAS BLESSED TO HAVE SEEN AND HEAR YOU MR. JOE COCKER!! THANK YOU FLINT IMA
R.I.P. Joe Cocker. This was always my favorite ;-)
Miss you Brother.........The greatest man. Thank you.
Absolutely love his voice and version of the song. Never get tired of hearing it.
The Best version Ever!! 🌹👊
Omg love this
I love both versions.Paul did this one with some magic I never get bored with this song
In pool hall 1970 played over and over!!!!!!!!!
Such a great version of this tune...there was something about this style of rock.....alot of it really drives along ....the bass in it just keeps ya foot tapping
Just noticed the bass player completely fucking with this whole production
Big Joe rip ❤️🌹
RIP Joe. You were a great.
This song takes me back to my late teens!
Love this song and Joe singing it!
Danced in the rain to this whole concert with my Momma and sisters. Would love a second time ❤️
Nobody else sang like Joe Cocker. Miss him.
ok people this is Steve if you were in the 60s this was what time it was
I woke up singing this song. It's 1970 and my mom is cleaning and I am in the living room doing homework and my mom is listening to this happy and waiting for my dad to come home from a day of welding at the ship yard. Well at least I saw she was happy

And with so many remakes of great songs & movies....The younger people don't know about or care about The Real Thing

I've never seen a bass player that has such an innovative approach. Genius!
I ALWAYS LOVED THIS SONG!
Amazing performance
Thank you Paul .
I love that dude big tune,
When I play this song I always play it on the back of my bass.
I 💕 love you, Joe Cocker!!
ONLY THE BEST, BETTER THAN ALL THE REST 💋
RIP: MAD DOG AND ENGLISH MAN
Rest in Peace, Joe.
GREAT!!
Joe! The guy could belt it out. I like his cheery yellow jumper in this video too. HIs music is so masculine.
Totally my choice , always loved Joe
Hello Elizabeth how are you doing!!
Great singer and performer! He should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
I don’t give a rats ass what this legend was on or doing Classic music that will live on forever 👍
Kicks BUTT.
Some funky*ss guitar licks in tharrrr
You will be missed Joe!!
I only cried for one artist in my lfe, I cried when Joe Cocker deid, I still miss Him
The bass player is trolling. Probably didn't like the idea of pretending to play. Sort of a way to show the producers he wasn't feeling it.
Hilarious
As a musician I understand it but god forbid a television producer want the audience to hear a good version of the song. Live sound was and still is awful for the most part.
Joe’s vocals is live though.
love this song
...great song...❤
Heck yes ... my old cocker happy vinyl is worn out . I played the crap out of it. TFS .

The bassist who plays the bass turned backwards is a magician 😂
That look in Joe's eyes at 2:35,,gotta wonder what's in his head right then.
He's drugged out of his mind. What's going through his mind is that he's so high, he's trying to figure out how he's still standing.
@@Jshect - No he wasn’t. You must not be familiar with the great Joe Cocker.
Hahaha the band has the best sense of humor! 💀

i'm glad the drummer didn't fall asleep during this set. that's the way I looked taking a math test in highschool
RIP Joe.
spettacolare io avevo circa 12 anni quando ascoltavo questa sigla ..un tuffo nel passato ..una memoria nel presente
