Cancer - Joe Jackson

[@curtandrus8544]

As a cancer survivor I play this loudly and to everyone who wants to hear it. Joe Jackson is without compare.

[@mjproebstle]

one of the greatest albums to come out of the 80’s (night and day), and the best song from it. the ONLY artist who can hold a candle to a steely dan or a dave brubeck, period.

[@bdumon]

I'm listening to this album tonight (2020) as I type this. Might put on Aja or Katie Lied next....

[@extradimension7356]

I like that Joe Jackson can indeed hold a candle to Joe Jackson... He made a classical album that was pretty phenomenal (Kinda Britten inspired) ~ "Will Power"

[@mariannelaba]

His early work is phenomenal but then again same goes for Elvis C.. .

[@nicks6813]

Such a gifted songwriter. This was one of the most unique albums of its era.

[@paulobastos1774]

Such a great piano solo... and simple. Great Joe.

[@stanley8869]

This man is a sublime talent. I became a fan in the mid-80s and still love his music to this day. Who else uses Latin and jazz grooves to create a song about cancer of all things? Underrated he may be in some circles, but Joe Jackson is a remarkable talent (and has a cutting English sense of humour). Privileged to have seen him perform three times (80s/90s).

MUSIC IS A GREAT HEALER,AFTER 3 AMPUTATIONS AND 35 SURGERIES, JOE GOT ME THOUGH SOME TOUGH DAYS

[@aattura1541]

LOVE this song-- and when I was going thru Radiation therapy I also played it quite often.

[@bryansteel711]

Just 3 weeks ago I was diagnosed with cancer. So had to play this. It's obvious Joe Jackson likes Latino music. Having lived in Venezuela for 9 yrs. I was instantly drawn to his music. Would love to see him live.

[@wozniack]

I'm greatly sorry for your diagnosis. You will be in my thoughts.

[@housydoing]

be well, bryan!

[@ChristopherBrownFishScience]

sorry and best wishes to you Bryan

[@RollingInInfo2010]

This song is actually sarcastic. It is a song about how everything that gives you pleasure is bad for you. He says this on one of the live posts of this song. He actually sells monogrammed Zippo lighters at his concerts.

[@federicopivetta7387]

Hi Brian. Loved your comment and I was diagnosed with Leukemia in 2004 and doing fine so far. I also grew up in Venezuela even though I was born in Italy. Hope you are doing well.

[@vap0rland]

I saw him on this tour in the US - was one of the best live shows ever

ABSOLUTELY GENIUS! WHAT A BAND! ❤❤❤❤

Joe Jackson and his FAB band are LIT here...pure FIRE!!! 🔥🔥🔥👏 🏹♐

[@pyxxel]

Joe Jackson is unsurpassed! He wrote unique, wonderful compositions and I treasure all his albums in my collection 💕

[@robinj4866]

Joe Jackson developed my taste for a variety of jazz styles at a pre teen age. Joe is a rare talent and I enjoy him to this day!

[@SylvainBrimaire]

Name an artist that studied classical music and became popular with punk, swing, pop, jazz and movie soundtracks

[@elizabethstocker7379]

Forgot how great he is!

[@河野哲-d2v]

One of the best imitations of salsa music outside south-American nations Jackson knows how Latin music really should be. Sophisticated and luxurious~♬

[@patrickurbain14]

Not exactly an imitation! Joe Jackson was living in New York and collaborated with integrants of the salsa at this time (Héctor Lavoe and possibly Rúben Blades). He knew some of this world from inside, The best credit was the cover that did Lavoe of this song.

[@hectornegron9155]

Imitation? What the hell is that even supposed to mean?

[@lawcoverband7859]

Sabor latino with Joe Jackson. One of my favorite songs of his.

[@annehodgson]

Simply brilliant. Takes me back.

[@rayviolot6414]

Aside from Latino musicians, Joe Jackson was probably the only Brit to successfully co-op the groove onto his Night and Day album. It was and is a distinctive album, totally unlike those from his peers of the late seventies and early eighties. A classic!

[@hypno59]

Absolutely!

[@Scott_B1029]

Stunning!

[@thescatman5029]

As a house head, I love the duo of Josh Milan and Kevin Hedge, better known as Blaze. Listening to this, I truly think this song, among many, had an influence on that group!

[@blessingtx7285]

[@2_thumbs_up_baby]

Always thought this song was so odd and yet nothing health wise has changed in the decades since i heard it. Wonder what inspired it

Still here. Happy Halloween everyone 👍☠️🎃🏴‍☠️💥🤟💖

[@jonathanstoutenburg8634]

Yeah. It is just hard to find a good album from the 80s. I did hear this song in radio rotation, now it has been cast aside like other gems.

[@hib32]

Very nice. Hector Lavoe made a great cover of this song in Spanish.

[@SPAZZOID100]

Julio Sanchez Joe did a version in Spanish too.

Is that Jose Chepito Areas of Santana on congas?

[@luisvillareal5160]

That's Sue Hadropolis toured with Joe Jackson and Cindy Lauper

[@factenter6787]

No her name is Sue Hadjopoulos. Absolutely brilliant

[@tarp11z]

And they wanna compare him to Elvis Costello. Didn't get it. Don't get it. Will never get it.

[@artboy789]

Yeah, he’s a million times better and more versatile

Joe Jackson was great, but his songs are a bit too long.

[@erichoberg3502]

How's the width?

[@Tomallenny]

So I waited a year. This is from a live concert. They dont have three minute songs "live". I think you need to find the cassette disk and play that endlessly since that is how you are programmed. 3:33 is not concert length. uggh. By the way. Nice of who ever shared this.

[@davej7640]

Sometimes 3 minutes is not enough...

[@kenblack6114]

It's called improve, dumb ass!!
