Woodstock performance of (little help from my friends) is historic.

[@JamesRea2]

The version with Leon Russell is better than Woodstock.

[@sharonstonts]

Definitely, that cover became more recognizable than the actual Beatles song/rendition

[@williamyates694]

​@@sharonstontswith a little help from The Wonder Years TV show from the 80's opening theme.

[@mikerichards67]

I don’t care what anyone says but when you start talking and listening to Joe Cocker you start with the Woodstock performance of With a Little Help From My Friends !

[@sharonstonts]

@@williamyates694 Yes. Watched every episode when I was young 🤩

[@pacebrison1453]

Joe Cocker made what is, in my opinion, the best cover song ever when the covered the Beatles With a Little Help From My Friends.

[@757optim]

And the Woodstock performance is unforgettable.

[@jimfrederick3907]

"She Came In Through The Bathroom Window" is brilliant.

[@JoeNienaberNienaber]

The Beatles did did it, Joe said hold my beer.

[@stinkystu1]

Nah, he tied it when he did "The Letter".

[@757optim]

The Woodstock performance of "With A Little Help From My Friends" is THE iconic Joe Cocker performance.

[@thesuperdak7224]

Absolutely.

[@pvdogs2]

Joe Cocker's duet 'Up Where We Belong' with Jennifer Warnes' from the movie An Officer and a Gentleman' is a beautiful song. It won an Academy Award.

[@paulwood5803]

A poor tortured soul who had the most wonderful gift. I had the great privilege of seeing him live twice and he is utterly captivating. He never gave less that 110% in all of his performances.

[@ianallsopp9841]

You don't listen to a Joe Cocker song, You LIVE IT. It's not just his voice, it's his facial expressions as well.

[@hlawrencepowell]

Joe felt every note, every word. Few people ever came close.

[@jddelvec1870]

There is an amazing video from early Saturday Night Live of John Belushi singing a duet with Joe and imitating him, definitely worth the watch.

[@redddo1]

Some people just break the mold....and for the better.

[@Canucklehead557]

Joe Cocker - You can leave you hat on. From the 9 1/2 Weeks soundtrack.

[@janparish8055]

YES!!

[@Canucklehead557]

@@janparish8055 I used to be in a band called the Perish. Check it out. Right perish means the end. Have a great day.

[@markhodge7]

Joe Cocker is simply Joe Cocker. Maybe the most one-of-a-kind of all time.

[@wildbill7081]

Yes very true his voice kills this song

[@fabioferrari6633]

One of a kind, thats for sure

[@edwardrutledge2765]

Every cover Joe attempted was better than the original. Bold statement, but true.

[@gennyreese420]

That voice...soul all day❤ you guys would like You Can Leave Your Hat On! And if you can find the studio version of this song that last note he hits a falsetto that shoots straight to the heart😊

[@757optim]

Agreed. When you know the song from radio, you expect that ending.

[@garyjohnson7133]

He put everything into his performances! No one was better than Mr. Joe Cocker!

[@craigreid7178]

This was probably the best choice for an introduction to Joe Cocker. This was a huge hit for him and such a heartfelt delivery. He was one of a kind.

[@edwardsadler3348]

Bill Joel is a massive fan of Joe's and has campaigned for years to get him in the Rock n Roll Hall of fame

[@RayDavies-zv5ic]

Two legendary live performances from Joe are "With a Little Help From My Friends" at Woodstock and his duet with Jennifer Warnes singing the Oscar-winning "Up Where We belong" at the Night of the Proms, Antwerpen.

[@georgesheffield1580]

Blues almost always are best LIVE

[@kimzwolinski9919]

Can’t wait for Woodstock “a LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS “ 🔥🔥🔥😁 I have never seen Joe so still. It made the song very emotional for me ❤

[@terri2494]

I was thinking they still haven’t experienced him live in concert yet. He was very restrained on this one.

[@user-gu1zb6cw6t]

The last note of the studio version is sublime.

[@kevincaulder20]

You guys need to hear Joe Cocker more in his element of rocking blues. The raw intensity of his vocals are always on full display, but my personal favorites will give you some indication as to why. YOU CAN LEAVE YOUR HAT ON from the movie 9 and 1/2 Weeks will have Sam feeling alright. UNCHAIN MY HEART is a cover of the Ray Charles classic that has Joe Cocker and Clarence Clemmons, from Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, walking into a dead bar late in the evening and leaving a mushroom cloud of soul in their wake. I LOVE this video. Keep going. And enjoy

[@allengray5748]

How can a imperfect voice be the most MOST perfect for certain songs??!! Moments happen where I need to hear some tunes LOUD like certain RUSH songs, Little River Band, Iron Maiden and FEELING ALRIGHT by Mr Joe Cocker is freaking AMAZING!! Great Channel Bars!! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎

[@grandwazoodebris1015]

I like Joe's early rockers & R&B songs: High Time We Went, The Letter, Feeling Alright, Woman to Woman, ...

[@robertwoods3750]

one of the funniest things i saw in my young life {70's} was watching S.N.L. and john Belushi was doing his impression of joe singing with his spastic movements when suddenly joe showed up behind him , he joined in with john and finished the song , both spasming out , funniest , most heart warming moment to experience . we all were aware of joes freaky movements but we also knew that's how deeply he felt the music and who could laugh at that ?.

[@joannerichards1750]

'Up Where We Belong' duet w/Jennifer Warnes is rapturous! Joe was a working-class lad from Sheffield, England who sang in pubs. In his later years he lived on a ranch in Colorado, U.S.A., where he died in 2014. He was 70. We loved him and we miss him.

[@marionthompson3365]

Loved him since 76. Saw him four times through the years. Brilliant. Rip Joe

[@jasondobrich3560]

One of my favorite takes on Joe is that the notes he misses are more beautiful than if he’d actually hit them. So vulnerable

[@pres96ton]

I am 78 Joe was a kid at Woodstock and he was singing

[@hartspot009]

I was lucky enough to meet Joe AND Stevie Ray Vaughan when they toured together , Anchorage Alaska July 1990...one month before Stevies death. Both were absolute gems. Didnt get Joes autograph but got Stevies. GREAT REACTION GUYS...keep rolling

[@barsandbarbells2022]

Joe AND Stevie? Wow! Awesome duo to see!

[@Chase-we3pt]

You lucky summbitch.

[@user-xx5do8df8q]

Gotta listen to The Letter live with Leon Russell on piano. Joe Cocker ballads are almost non existence.

[@DrPaul-xf4no]

Joe cocker also sang the theme song for the American 80s tv show "the wonder years" 😊❤

[@DaveK0526]

Nobody sings this song like him- tears my heart out ever time

[@scottmoquin]

Perhaps the most unique singer of all time.

[@fabioferrari6633]

Yes, he was not the most perfect, but his imperfection made him unique. Love this guy

[@dandundon9503]

Feel so lucky to have seen him live several times!

[@RockinMamaT]

Get by with a little help with my friends is so good.Such a unique voice❤

[@leslietayloriii8405]

In spite of his Hero!n addiction... He brought so much peace and joy!

[@mattjohnson7725]

There will never be another Joe C

[@larrybailey517]

Everyone should see John Belushi's Joe Cocker SNL skit.

[@darrinlindsey]

I totally agree that this song was meant for him to sing.

[@WineSippingCowboy]

Written by the late Billy Preston. RIP to him. Great 👍 The late Joe Cocker sang a song 🎵 which was on the soundtrack to the movie 🎥 Teachers 40 years ago 🎂. He was gone 30 years later. RIP to him. Suggested video 📹: Joe Cocker sings Edge of a Dream on Solid Gold.

[@michaeldaley5831]

And Dennis Wilson.

[@juliapernicka2698]

This was very mellow. To really get a good feel for Joe Cocker you really need to watch with a Little help from my friends at Woodstock. He puts his whole heart, soul and body into that performance

[@rmacdougallaliasdogviticus]

Saw him live once, great show. Shame on the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame for not having this man among it's ranks. Joe has some great tunes, he shot to stardom with his awesome cover of "With a Little Help from My Friends" so you have to do that. The Live Woodstock version for sure. A couple of great studio takes and worth a listen as well are 'Feelin' Alright' and 'When The Night Comes' just to name two. Cheers.

[@jamesc264]

The late great Joe Cocker. Gone but never forgotten. Any time you spend finding out and listening/watching/reacting to this great will not be wasted!

[@amymeyers8090]

Ha! You have to see Jim Bulusi’s Saturday Night live sketch of Joe Cocker! Super funny!

[@tazjammer]

Joe suffered from Cerebal Palsy. I'm 67, remember Belushi. Not funny

[@MichelleSanGiorgio]

This was my wedding song after my husband proposed in the front row in front of Joe Cocker live. He then sang "You are so beautiful"

[@candacemay7187]

Yes - Woodstock performance next, followed by You can Leave Your Hat On.

[@user-lo1zc7gr1d]

Love Joe Cocker, great reaction thankyou

[@susanyork5089]

Saw him live in his home city Sheffield, Joe a great Talent and a Yorkshire lad 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

You can leave your hat on would have been perfect for valintines day.

Joe Cocker/Steve Miller, West Palm Beach amphitheater May 2008, one of the greatest live performances I’ve ever seen

[@gordonbryan2523]

Never did one man say so much in so few words.

[@Zentrix-24]

Joe Cocker is one hell of a singer....pours hi whole heart and soul into his songs. Been a fan since he owned beatles song "With a Little Help From My Friends"

[@deanjewell8170]

The studio version has just as much raw emotion as his live performances. I used the studio version for a video celebrating my daughter's first birthday and it never fails to bring tears.

[@mikeconway9849]

Great reaction, Sam and Phil! Joe always seems so authentic to me. He sang with his whole body. His Woodstock performance is amazing. BTW, Chakra Khan covers some Joe Cocker.

[@calemobrien1139]

One of those performers you could tell put EVERYTHING INTO HIS WORK!!! My mom first introduced me to him & I went down a rabbit hole of learning about him & listening to his songs because he's such an interesting person & incredible & unique singer😎 There's a great documentary called Joe Cocker: Mad Dog with Soul that's worth a watch & famously John Belushi has played him a few times on SNL & even performed together which would be a cool reaction video. So glad you're giving this legend a listen!

[@glennburch1081]

This song is credited to Billy Preston and Bruce Fisher, released in 1974 on Billy Prestons 9th studio record. I love Joe Cocker's reggae influenced record Stingray (1976) that never got the attention it deserved IMO. Joe Cocker basically made a living off of covers. Some must-listens by this artist: Feeling Alright, She Came In Thru The Bathroom Window, Catfish (About the pitching legend Catfish Hunter), The Jealous kind, Look What You've done, and A song For You (A song by Leon Russell, Ray Charles, and Willie Nelson) are just a few from this unique artist. I always enjoy your reactions, TY

[@JohnBullard]

Check out John Belushi as Joe Cocker (standing and singing next to Joe Cocker) frickin hilarious!

[@user-yl9wz7uc3u]

SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

[@thomastimlin1724]

Keyboard musician Billy Preston wrote this song, he worked with the Beatles on their last two albums, and was in their documentary, Get Back. he also worked on many George Harrison solo Albums...i used to sing this to my daughter whenm she was little.

[@Upsidedownguitar63]

Joe was like Janis...a one of a kind through which music poured from somewhere deep within....like so few. He wasn't looking to sing beautiful...which makes it beautiful. Watch "A Little Help From My Friends" live. It is a Beatles song he transformed...you can see the pure music coursing through him.

[@user-mo3et2lr7y]

You have to watch Joe

[@memorylane7068]

He also had some great studio hits in the 80's.

[@carokat1111]

I had the privilege to see him in concert twice. Barely spoke a word to the crowd, just sang his heart out.

[@leslapins7617]

So much emotional in this singing…it brings me to tears, it touches my soul! 🥰

[@boscobeans]

Saw him live at the intimate Filmore East WAY BACK in the day. Imagine 3 acts live on a small stage for about 5 bucks.

[@2002maryurb]

In the movie Across The Universe, Joe played a couple of parts and sang a couple of Beatles songs. Didn’t recognize him, but I did recognize his voice

[@oldmanghost219]

Joe Cocker - You Are So Beautiful... it is fine that you start with his live versions. He displays raw emotion. Fantastic. It always depends on the song what is better. Example . The studio version of Smoke On Water sounds dead and dull where as the Live version from the made in Japan album sounds alive. A Whiter Shade Of Pale was iconic decades before the live version for a reason that gets covered up by the absolutely beautiful live version. I have both versions but for decades, I have just been hearing that haunting organ in the studio version in my mind.

[@caretaker158]

Hearing Joe not only sing the song, but watching him FEEL the song... never fails to bring a lump to my throat, a tear to my eye and a smile to my face all at the same time. And I wholeheartedly agree with all the others who have said to check out his version of "I get by (with a little help from my friends)"

[@TomTom-ui9hg]

His Woodstock performance is a must watch..Peace!

[@HRConsultant_Jeff]

60 minutes did a interview with him one time and he came across as such a humble and nice person who just wanted to go out there and perform. He poured a lot of emotion into every song. Still brings tears my eyes. RIP Joe C..

[@kevinfitzpatrick8532]

You can't miss with Joe's live preformences👍🎶🎸

[@jimmymcintyre7944]

Need to do the Woodstock version of The Beatles 'With A Little Help From My Friends'. U will love it.

[@skmlondon]

I was a dj in Manchester before going to Uni. I was asked to help book the bands for Freshers’ Ball. I got lucky and was able to get Joe Cocker and the Grease Band AND Jethro Tull. An amazing night. What a way to start Uni life.

[@edwardcrews2952]

Thank you. Deserves to be in the Hall of Fame

[@nancys9698]

One of my favorite song of his is “Put your Hat on” From the movie 9 1/2 weeks with Kim Basinger & Mickey Rourke.

[@jamessimmons1486]

If you liked this song you might want to check out his duet with Jennifer Warnes for the song "Up Where we Belong" from the movie "An Officer and a Gentleman."

[@malcolmsleight9334]

I was fortunate to see Joe live. He did amazing covers of a lot of songs. I believe that Paul McCartney said that his cover of "A little Help From My Friends" is better than the Beatles version.

[@Souljah2008]

This great song of Joe Cocker comes on at the end of one of my favourite movie's Carlitos Way and its a really poignant moment.

[@jasonremy1627]

Such an amazing vocalist.

[@GeraldWalling]

John Robert "Joe" Cocker's most famous song a rearrangement is a cover from the Beatles, "A Little Help From My Friends". ""You Are So Beautiful" is a song credited to Billy Preston and Bruce Fisher that was first released in 1974 on Preston's ninth studio album, The Kids & Me." "According to differing family stories, Cocker received his nickname of Joe either from playing a childhood game called "Cowboy Joe", or from a local window cleaner named Joe." All info is from Wikipedia.

[@rubroken]

Unchain my heart is a good one to react to, by Joe. The official video(?)is interesting, he walks into a bar and sings it

[@rickstclair2217]

Cocker was no writer, his forte was his voice. check out the Saturday Night Live show when Cocker and John Belushi performed together, iconic.

[@janparish8055]

More Joe Cocker please! "You can leave your hat on" - awesome! He's kinda a male Janis Joplin - raw and unique! Nice reaction.

[@agnetamalmqvist3776]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@donaldbrunner6250]

John Belushi did a spot on imitation of Joe Cocker. In fact they did a song side by side on SNL.

[@2eleven48]

Listen to you. Yadda, yadda, yadda. An extraordinary performance by Cocker.

[@randybass8842]

I've always loved his song, Feelin' Alright." In my high school senior year, I'd meet friends for coffee before school, and every single day, I'd play that song on the tabletop jukebox. It was a great way to start the day. I still love that song. Put it on your list for future Joe Cocker.

[@beckiramsey9561]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@mikek1865]

This rendition was so beautiful to me...

[@davidrichards6509]

there is a tnt made for tv movie called "door to door" starring william h macy that is the "true" story of a door to door salesman who was born with cerebal palsy. there is a scene about two thirds of the way through the movie where the salesman is selling to a young mother holding her new born after having gotten the news that morning that his own mom had died and joe cocker singing you are so beautiful is the movie "score" for the scene and every time i see that movie that scene makes me tear up and "cry like a little girl". i have heard several different artists sing this song in my 60+ years ... i think even elvis has a cover of this .... and mr cocker's version is and always has been my favorite version of this song. it's one of the few joe cocker songs that i can actually understand the words ... most of joe cocker's records that I've heard have been largely unintelligible to me ... a like bob dylan😅

[@alchemy-oi8xf]

You're right, Phil; once you hear Joe sing this song, it's hard to imagine anyone else singing it. He OWNS it. When you watch his Woodstock performance, buckle your seat belt and hold on to your hat, lol, because he's VERY physically kinetic when he delivers rock songs.

[@user-eu7hs3js1e]

UNCHAIN MY HEART!! Fun and Studio Video. Please 🙏🏽

[@jamesharryman7016]

Great performer. Pasted December 22, 2014. RIP

[@angelomichael4156]

Woodstock is a must. The Beatles said "With a little help from my Friends " is now Joe's song they loved his version.

[@FerretJohn]

The song was written and first performed by Billy Preston, whom many considered the unofficial fifth Beatle, but like Johnny Cash and Hurt the song became Cocker's the moment he sang it.

[@graemehossack7401]

There is another Joe Cocker performance of this song with only an acoustic guitar as backing. The words are even less clear but the passion and emotion make them almost redundant. He was all about live performances, and the Woodstock performance is iconic.

[@jordimoore2167]

Next try You Can Leave Your Hat On.

[@jeremyfagner6808]

Joe Cocker has been called the white Ray Charles because of the amount of soul he sings with. He oozes soul.

[@dougca7086]

React to Joe Cocker the letter and also a Little Help from My Friends live at Woodstock

[@george217]

"Up where we belong " was a great duet of his with Jennifer Warnes...

[@bettybaby63]

His studio cuts are amazing, but man does he bring it live.
