When Cocker died, McCartney said this version was “mind-blowing” and was forever grateful for turning the song into a soul anthem. When it was first released, Lennon and McCartney sent him a telegram of thanks and congratulations, and took out an ad in the papers thanking him. Cocker was backed up by an all-star band in the recording.

And don't forget the Beatle's recording ,releasing and having a Hit on this song before Joe Cocker ever recorded it !

[@Spaced92]

Tbh the song was already pretty great. EDIT: My favourite story is that Ringo was traumatised by lollies (candy) being thrown at them playing live when they said a certain type was their favourite, so Ringo demanded the lyric be changed to "would you stand up and walk out on me" from "would you throw ripe tomatoes at me".

Joe cocker was originally a blues singer but he sang many different types of music,including blues,pop,gospel,ballads and rock and roll . He does a little bit of everything!!This song is a cover version of a Beatles pop song,however Joe arranged this track to be a gospel type ,call and response song. If you want to see the ultimate version of this song, check out the Mad Dogs and Englishmen concert. He has a huge band and chior as part of his ensemble . It is as if you're in church and the energy they pump out will blow your mind. It is by far the best version of A little help from my friends!! Also check out Delta Lady, It's High Time We Went and You can leave your hat on. He has many ,many more but it you wanna start out with a bang,take my advice. I offer a money back guarantee!!

Included in that group was Paul Rodgers,Steve Winwood, Ronnie Wood ,Charlie Watts,Bill Wyman ,Ray Cooper and Joe Cocker. It was a benefit to raise money for Ronnie Lane of The Faces who was suffering from M.S. It was the greatest lineup I had ever seen live in my life!!! I had never seen Joe Cocker live before this show . He was up against some heavy,heavy competition and in my opinion he stole the show!! His performance was absolutely incredible and it's hard to find the correct words to describe just how good he was and how he stepped on that stage and took over!! That show was in 1983, I still talk about it to this day and when people ask who was the best performer that night without hesitation I say Joe Cocker!! This was the first time Jimmy Page had performed live since Bonham had died and he did an instrumental version of Stairway To Heaven on that SG double neck which brought the roof down. Also to close it out you had Beck,Page and Clapton all playing together,performing Tulsa Time and Layla. Inspite of these mind blowing performances during the show it was still Joe Cocker who stole the show !!! His energy level and passion were something I will never forget!!! So I'm right with you when it comes to Joe Cocker!! That man was just too much that night!!!

Brad, you said something about the music and the look of the artists/bands back in the 60's. Throughout the decades, music, art, architecture, clothing/style has been a reflection of the political, social, religious, etc. attitudes and ideals of the time. Also, don't forget that the bands/artists of the British invasion, like Joe here were heavily influenced by African-American bluesmen, mainly from the South. The Beatles cited Muddy Waters as a huge influence.

Just passing by to say that I really appreciate the musical journey you're experiencing because you've discovered so many songs that have been an important part of my life's soundtrack an it just makes me emotional. From Tool to Rush to Alice in Chains and now this song (originally a Beatles song) that put me inside a time machine into a moment I didn't forget but that I haven't revisited in a long time. Never thought that reaction channels would become such a thing. It's a way for me to rediscover myself and I thoroughly appreciate the time you put in creating this content that is even a healing ritual for some of us who needed a special moment on our day, moments that are not possible without a little help from the ones we love, I know we're not friends but I legitimately feel like hugging you guys because this song took me back to such special moments from my childhood, this specific cover, the Beatles song is good but this one just connects with me differently. Anyway, keep the realness and keep enjoying this magical journey that only music can provide. If I could recommend a magical song, I will recommend Jane's Addiction's "Three Days". An absolute masterpiece that I think you'll enjoy. Peace!

You are absolutely correct Lex about the talent back then!! And as for this performance being dry, back then, when we went to a concert, it was actually for the 'music' and hearing the artists perform it live, with extended intros, solo's, etc. that weren't on the records. It wasn't about the 'show'. The music was the show...

Couldn't appreciate your perspectives on this more!!!... Love the way you don't hide the fact this music happened 20-30+ years before you were born. I hear this from an older (60+) perspective, yet i always achieve a new appreciation based on your guys reactions...!. Just discovered (and subscribed) to you guys yesterday, so looking forward to much more...

the beauty is that both Ringo and Joe sang this to its nth degree.

With the first few organ notes, I was taken back and I thought, "Man, you guys are about to hear one of the classics of Rock and you don't even know it".

Now you need to watch John Belushi doing Joe Cocker singing this song…then Joe walks out on stage and joins him. Epic!

I could also see Joe Cocker as a Baptist Revival Tent Preacher, he almost has that Holy Ghost energy.
