His Woodstock version was iconic and one of the highlights. I was fortunate to see him in concert, great singer and awesome show!

[@robertzimmerman2513]

Yes!

[@lakenneth374]

Ditto: At the Stardust in Hollywood at a Freddie King concert, joined on stage by Joe Cocker, Paul Roger and Maggie Bell.

[@kevinsattler6603]

For sure WS

[@philippesauvie639]

One of the few covers of a Beatles song that may have surpassed the Beatles version! WS

[@cazgerald9471]

I prefer the Mad Dogs & Englishmen performance - the call and response is way better

[@mikeconway9849]

R.I.P. Joe Cocker. As others have mentioned, you have to do the Woodstock performance...so raw and soulful! Joe put 100% of himself into his singing.

[@chuckwilliams6261]

Right, let's see her describe a young Joe Cocker as "effortless." Not going to happen.

[@Code9]

@@chuckwilliams6261 Hahaha! Well said! It's a performance of stellar proportions!

[@deusifer30]

Still a favorite…loved how his voice changed over the decades…❤️❤️❤️

[@deusifer30]

@@chuckwilliams6261 …so the opposite of effortless…

[@andrefmedeiros]

It's in fact a 60's The Beatles song, sang originally by Ringo Starr.

[@doughaviland1729]

This marvelous polished performance is beautiful BUT, you MUST view his Woodstock Live version to truly appreciate the rawness of Joe!

[@jamesjackson2875]

I was just going to say that.

[@davidcowgill8542]

I agree. He put all of himself into this song. You don't see his passion in today's music that use auto tune, and a lot of audio software. To help "fix" the performers weaknesses.

[@marleneobstnash5517]

Agree!!

[@neildonley9626]

And then there is his 1969 Woodstock version. 🔥 (The backup singers could not get there on time, so the band had to sing falsetto.)

[@onetruthmediacompany]

Yes please react to his '69 Woodstock version of this song.

[@otisyoung7061]

Unfortunately because his back up singers were so much better........but Joe was in his prime

[@sahewins]

@@otisyoung7061 Yes, they were a little off key.

[@deusifer30]

Lost his shite in the best way…❤️

[@deusifer30]

@@sahewins but the feeelllsss…😭

[@farmerbill6855]

The only person ever to successfully cover a Beatles song. And cover it he did. This is beautiful.

[@MarcusHenkel]

well, maybe not that successfull but this also deserves some attention: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pp6WZJZ6ZdOpia8

[@BossManCarls]

I don't trust many to do a version of Paul and John but he killed it

[@scottwatson9453]

John Farnham, an australian singer did an immaculate rendition of "Help" ( live version with Melbourne symphony orchestra. The version with him wearing a white shirt) even John Lennon had congratulated him on it.

[@-O-Z-Z-Y-]

I loved both songs, yet it took me years to find out it's the same song! 🤪

[@Jeff121456]

I think the Rolling Stones did a good job with Come Together. In fact their version is played much more often than the original on radio and streams.

[@dagmar.6954]

I grew up with Joe Cocker's music. He was an English singer known for his gritty, bluesy voice & dynamic stage performances that featured expressive body movements. He recorded a few Beatles' songs "With A Little Help From My Friends", "She Came In Through The Bathroom Window" & "Something". Other hits were "Up Where We Belong" (a duet with Jennifer Warnes), "Delta Lady", "Darling Be Home Soon", "Cry Me A River", "Feelin' Alright", "The Letter", "You Are So Beautiful" etc.

[@clownzzz4837]

His live performance at the original Woodstock is still my favorite version. His covers of 'Into the Mystic' and 'You Are So Beautiful' are great also. I can't watch Joe Coker without thinking of John Belushi. Not that I expect you to know the reference (John was the original Blues Brother)

[@edprzydatek8398]

And John was also an original on Saturday Night Live.

[@jlmfoy365]

Completely agree, but his performance on the old grey whistle test was unbelievable.

[@davidfrench5407]

This was originally a Beatles song, sung by Ringo Starr. Joe Cocker totally took the song and made it his own. The Beatles were even in awe of what he did with their creation.

[@Anditover]

When interviewed he said that they wanted to create a Waltz. Remember the original Beatles version was a poppy 4/4, Joe absolutely transformed it with tension, gospal spiritual backing, and pain. You would be forgiven for thinking they were completely different songs. If she knew the roots of this song she would have been even more stunned, I think.

[@bradmannion6769]

Joe Cocker's cover of this Beatles song was so great that it is now and has been since Woodstock known as his song.

[@Gr8Buccaneer]

you really should do the woodstock version,a mid 20 year old guy comes up,and when he first did a scream,the first 3 rows of the audience got blown away

[@tomhansen4576]

This song was originally done by the Beatles sung by Ringo Starr. But Joe's blues rock version made it into an iconic hit.

[@johnmcsweeney4163]

Joe cocker is one of those boys you can’t find today

[@bobknightfolk]

This was originally a Beatles song, but don't go looking for it as your first Beatles experience. Their version is much faster and done in an old fashioned "Vaudeville" style. You REALLY need to check out the Beatles, often rated as the greatest, most creative band of all time. Just when you think you've got it they change their style. Go for it Brit. :)

[@williamthomas7509]

This was the anthem about how we all felt about our friends in the 60s and 70s ... we loved everybody, cared, and didn't judge ... somehow we lost that way of life.

[@donnyduty2553]

Please watch a live version of "You are so Beautiful" Actually, When it comes to Joe Cocker, always watch a live version. You have to see him sing, raw emotion

[@karensheline6958]

when he sings he is playing EVERY instrument in his head. Watch his hands and movements, you’ll get it !!

[@flouisbailey]

You nailed it but also with his hands.

[@garygoodman4342]

As a child of the 80's, I can't hear this song without thinking of The Wonder Years🤷‍♂️

[@briang6815]

same, first thought I had too but sounds better to me as The Wonder Years theme song

[@protarget1]

From the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album by the Beatles written for, and sang by Ringo Star the drummer. recognised by everyone as the greatest album of all time, written by the greatest music artist of all time. 😊

[@bigjunk59]

Its so refreshing watching someone that finds all our treasures that we grew up with, and you really enjoy it! The Woodstock version will blow you away! Thank you!!

[@bert0522]

His Woodstock version is his best, he's at full voice and stage performance. Jim

[@Sir_Alex]

Joe's version of this song is mesmerizing ... unique voice.

[@KC-bv9kf]

Joe’s version of anything is mesmerizing. RIP and thanks for the journey…

[@gaillouise8310]

Not every Babtist church sounds this way, you are talking about Southern Babtist

[@dandundon9503]

I feel so honored to have seen Mr. Joe Cocker live several times, RIP.

[@karensheline6958]

He opened for the WHO and when he was done I didn’t even care about seeing the WHO…. Joe blew them out of the water !!!!

[@christianmattison6096]

Joe Cocker is one of the few who made his career from doing covers of other artists. It is ironic that his keen ability to transform the works of others into something of an entirely different flavor all his own made him stand out as one of Rock-n-Rolls all time greats and a true original.

[@davisworth5114]

BS Elvis? Ray Charles? The vast majority of musicians do cover songs.

[@KC-bv9kf]

The original versions were the performers’ stories Joe’s versions were our stories

[@larrycox8685]

This is a great cover of a Beatles song which Ringo originally sang. It became Joe's signature song after he performed it at Woodstock.

[@farfromperfek]

You should check out the SNL Joe Cocker / John Belushi duet. Lol you will laugh your ass off.

[@loveloochay]

You will surely enjoy another tune titled "You Can Leave Your Hat On" 🔥🔥🔥

[@giljensen1132]

I concur

[@TxFlyBoy1]

Woodstock version- YES! "Up Where We Belong" with Jennifer Warren-YES! "Feelin' All Right!", "The Letter", and "You Are So Beautiful"-Yes, Yes and Yes" and his performance of "You Can Leave Your Hat On" for the movie 9 1/2 Weeks is unforgettable. Enjoy the ride! It's a great one. RIP Joe.

[@wanderer0617]

Oh, this is one of the most amazing covers of this Beatles song. I'm having memories of Joe Cocker with Mad Dogs and Englishmen. W/Leon Russell, Rita Coolidge, so many more. Good times! Thank you for being open to so much good material and wonderful reactions ❤

[@danielmesery2904]

He performed this at the original WOODSTOCK EVENT....Check it out🌹Beatles Song...

[@Marta_Lledo_Video_Channel]

thanks for digging up Joe Cocker...he is gone but was certainly a bright burning star when he passed our way.

[@patrickg.1170]

Good reaction. Definitely check the Woodstock version out. Unless someone request a specific video. I would always try to find the original recording. I know I keep saying that. But musicians deserve for us to hear a song they way they intended it to be heard. Just a thgt from me. ;)

[@seandobson6221]

Joe is a freakin legend! The break down in this one is epic. This song was written by Paul McCartney and John Lennon for the Yellow Submarine album and very poorly sang by Ringo Starr. Joe turned it into a soul song and it became the theme song for Wonder Years.

[@chetcarman3530]

Classic Beatles/Lennon-McCartney song. (One of Joe's earlier versions would've been a better choice; he was well past his prime here & aging out. Though he still delivers here, check out the Woodstock version from his youth & fire years*

[@shirleydurr411]

Again, his live Woodstock version is so much better. Also "Up Where You Belong" and "You are So Beautiful" are two you need to listen to.

[@chriswest6090]

Either the Woodstock version or the "The Last Waltz" version , both are from his twenties when his performances were all out give every fibre of his being to belt them out .This is a polished version of what he really was . Even the band is soft in this version .

[@danielc.8875]

The greatness the counter culture of that time was something of something special. . My generation helped change social injustice. Now half the country hates the other half. Talk about regression.

[@yoshiodiaz8600]

Great performance but the Woodstock version will blow your mind. A must see as he leaves everything on stage

[@creid1367]

You should really listen to the Mad Dogs and Englishmen version... Iconic!

[@hlawrencepowell]

It's a thrill for me to see someone hear Joe for the first time. There's no other like him, nor will there ever be.

[@jasondorsett7982]

Please do the live at Woodstock from 1969. So raw and powerful!

[@thepunadude]

DARLIN, ALWAYS GO TO THE ORIGINAL ALBUM(YEAH IM THAT OLD!) VERSION 1ST. SINGERS GET OLD & TRY .. & FAIL A LOT!

[@ivansavoie3190]

Can you please react to Josh Turner Long Black Train official video

[@keymack2477]

Great reaction! Your church sounds wonderful!!

[@charlestusin274]

You should react to the Beetles original version of this them Joe's Woodstock performance. John Belushi did a hilarious skit of this on Saturday Night Live. It's one of his classic skits from the show.

[@tkremarkTK]

Used in The Wonder Years theme song. (The original Wonder Years)

[@johnthompson195]

You must do a reaction to a young Jo Cocker live at Woodstock you ain't seen nothing hear!

[@kevinfitzpatrick8532]

Joe Cocker was a terrific performer, a couple other live performances i think you will like are "Unchain my Heart "live in Cologne and "You can Leave your Hat on " in Rotterdam.❤️😊👍 .

[@wpollock1]

This was a Beatles tune (from Sgt Peppers album) until Joe Cocker sang it as a cover….now it is his. ☺️. I personally like this live version better than the one he did at Woodstock in 1969 as these background singers are SO much better. It always amazed me that he couldn’t find better background singers at one of the biggest music festivals of all time!

[@sharonsnail2954]

I read somewhere that the backing singers at Woodstock were stuck in the humongous traffic jam so The Grease Band had to do the best they could.

[@bobknightfolk]

The orignal recording had female vocalists, so the guys in the band had to cover their singing parts at Woostock. Remember, Joe and his band (The Greaseband) were English, they probably couldn't afford to take two female vocalists all the way from England to sing on one song. Joe's voice was younger and better at Woodstock.

[@WilliamTross448]

Bye ,Bye Britt . You break inn to your videos way,way too often.

[@bradlaurain5887]

You have to follow some early songs beside these, you'll not regret it!

[@knew3355]

I can’t see the video very well but that looks like an older Joe Cocker and to recent for Jimi Hendrix to be with him. I have a request that I think you will love, The Band (that’s the band’s name) with The Staple Singers doing a song called “The Weight”. Not sure if you are familiar with The Staple Singers but they WILL take you to church for sure. Mavis Staples is a complete legend in my mind and still singing in her 80’s. She sang with Hozier a few years back on his song “Nina Cried Power” which is a powerful song and lyrical masterpiece! You will love that one too! Please check them both out.

[@johnv61]

His Woodstock version of this song was unbelievable, as was his live version of “you are so beautiful “

[@clasmaster1471]

That was awesome! Just imagine when he did this at Woodstock. This has been a jam for a long long time! Amazing music. Great video!

[@brucec9903]

"Cry me a River" from Mad Dogs and Englishmen

[@andyc1318]

Woodstock version is amazing! But you definitely need to check out “You are so Beautiful “ live in Berlin

[@borisnieminen677]

Yes, absolutely watch the Woodstock performance, you will be blown away

[@Sobolady89]

My favorite Joe Cocker song was "You Are So Beautiful".

[@chrispeterson1989]

His friends are drugs

[@rrytizzz]

Best performance of Joe Cocker's with a little help for my friends is in 1992 in Dortmund ❤

[@miriamreiss]

I totally agree......it was awesome

[@quixote6942]

There was never a stage that could handle the Line up I'd have for this Song! You got Joe, doing this as a Duet with James Brown, and backing them on Guitars, Jimi Hendricks and Prince! There isn't a Single Current Artist out there that can bring it like the Classic Rockers!

[@zulfikarkhorakiwala1249]

According to me, Joe Cocker's voice is phlegmatic and unique.!

[@robertboss8883]

He loved The Beatles songs and this was one of them. He also sang, Something and a few more...

[@graybeard1952]

Give his rendition of "Cry Me a River" from the Mad Dogs and Englishmen tour. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIXIn5aYasiopZI

[@donbelenger817]

Definitely the one like e at Woodstock is better!!!

[@wittjon]

I HAD SO MUCH FUN WATCHING THIS WITH YOU!!!! You totally brought my day around rocking out with ya!! i'd recommend seeing his woodstock performance to see where he came from. woodstock - Jimi 😀

[@johnwilkinson4683]

Raw grungy and melodic voice is a great description.

[@richardbazile4455]

This song was written by the Beatles ,his live version at Woodstock was one of the best musical moments ever I sing in a band, one of the greatest moments of my life was when a lady said you sound like Joe Cocker, still one of my favorite singers, Another one you would dig is You Can Leave Your Hat On, awesome

[@davisworth5114]

You reacted to the worst version when he was an old man!!

[@mitcholson6413]

This was a great Beatles song song turned into a phenomenal Joe Cocker song.

[@martinbynion1589]

Many people forget that is NOT a Joe Cocker song, but by the Beatles, so closely has it become associated with him. The live version from Woodstock is iconic.

[@brianfoust4615]

check out you are so beautiful....by joe

[@ThistleAndSea]

I think this is my favorite of Joe's renditions of this song. He and the song both aged very well. 🙂

[@Nomad-vv1gk]

The keyboard instrument is the legendary Hammond B-3 Organ and Leslie Speaker Model 122R. There is also a Leslie Model 122 however, it does not have reverb. The original Hammond B-3 was manufactured in Chicago, IL. FROM 1955-1974. It is the Hammond model preferred by jazz and rock organ players, such as Fats Waller, Wild Bill Davis, Brother Jack McDuff, Jimmy Smith, Sonny Burke, Keith Emerson, Charles Earland, Jon Lord, Brian Auger, Steve Winwood, Procol-Harem, Santana, Joey DeFrancesco, and Barbara Dennerlein. Jimmy Smith popularized the Hammond organ, and its technique of using drawbars and pedals. Having found success in jazz, the Hammond organ became popular in rhythm and blues, including Booker T. & the M.G.'s and other Stax Records artists. The Hammond was one of the first mass-produced musical instruments which combined the electrical, mechanical and acoustic worlds-it is a keyboard instrument that could produce totally new sounds, and at the same time "imitate" other acoustic instruments. The production of electromechanical organs ceased in 1974. Thereafter, Hammond built fully electronic organs. Today, Hammond-Suzuki range of electronic draw bar organs, starting with the 2002 release of a digital B3 model that mimics the design and functions of the classic B3 (without the weight). This model, as well as newer units, can be partnered with real, mechanical, rotor speaker cabinets, also from the company. Hammond-Suzuki now manufactures organs in Elmhurst, Illinois, just outside of Chicago.

I was lucky enough to see Joe sing this song live in 1969. wow, so good. There is a movie called "The Commitments" , and in that movie a guy called Andrew Strong sings "Try a Little Tenderness" as lead singer to the band, The Commitments. Since you like Joe Cocker, you may also like this performance.

I don't know how everyone missed this but THE STAGE WAS DRESSED TO LOOK LIKE A JUKEBOX! Joe Cocker didn't sing, he threw his soul at the audience.

[@notvalidcharacters]

You're right, it is a church (Gospel) arrangement by Leon Russell. And yes you should check out Leon, who was his bandleader/musical director when this arrangement was put together with Mad Dogs and Englishmen.

[@StevesFunhouse]

This is actually a Beatles song. However, you need to do the Woodstock performance (Live video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIa5dnmhn9ace6c ) or even better, the Mad Dogs and Englishmen (MD&E), which is also a live version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGfWoZ94bMaWjsU . Same song, just great performances from when he was much younger and his voice even more powerful. The MD&E version has everybody that was anybody with him on the tour: On Vocals: Leon Russell, Rita Coolidge, Donna Washburn, Claudia Lennear, Denny Cordell, Daniel Moore, Pamela Polland, Matthew Moore, Nicole Barclay (of Fanny), Bobby Jones Leon Russell - lead guitar, piano, vocals, backing vocals (also the band leader/director) Don Preston - guitar, vocals, backing vocals Chris Stainton - organ, piano Carl Radle - bass guitar Jim Gordon, Jim Keltner, Chuck Blackwell - drums Chuck Blackwell, Sandy Konikoff, Bobby Torres - percussion Jim Horn, Bobby Keys - saxophone Jim Price - trumpet These were all very professional artists in their own right or professional studio musicians, many of whom were from the famous "The Wrecking Crew", who were on just about everything back then. You see, most groups didn't do their own playing on records, at least not all of it ... many parts, if not all, were done by studio musicians, and none were more often used than The Wrecking Crew, who came up with all the catching lead solos, bass lines horn sections, etc. Heck, even Glenn Campbell (1 of the best guitarists ever) was a member and, not only did a lot of the work for The Beach Boys, but even went on tour with them. SO, just remember, most of those catchy tunes from the 50's and 60's were created and made famous by a loose grouping of studio musicians.

[@giannirizzi8646]

A Beatles' song and a fantastic cover by Joe Cocker! Watch this at the Woodstock concert (1969).

[@zenutopia2k708]

Church-towel approved! :) But the original performance at Woodstock is better. Until I saw the original video, I thought the backup singers at Woodstock were female!

[@quixote6942]

This is "Put on your Sunglasses and get your Stank Face on" kind of music! Ray Charles couldn't get the Head Rollin hard enough for this song! Those Backup Singers sound like they just came from a 72 Straight hour Evangelical Gig... They didn't take the Audience to Church, they dropped them straight off at the Pearly Gates! FANTASTIC Reaction, Britt! When Joe let out that Shriek, I KNEW he had you in the palms of his hands! WOW!

[@bella-xp7qd]

Saw him at Woodstock, funny thing his back up singers didn't make it because they were stuck in traffic. His band had to sing backup. Check out Sep 9 version of You Can Leave Your Hat On. THIS IS A BEATLES COVER

[@chuckwilliams6261]

"Effortless" I've never heard someone describe a Cocker performance with that adjective. He normally leaves me exhausted just watching.

[@richarddaugherty8583]

This is a Lennon/McCartney (Beatles) song from the Sgt Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band album. It was sung on that album by Ringo Starr. Joe Cocker was the master of covers. When he covered a song it was like you had never heard that song before. Check out The Letter (originally by The Boxtops for whom it was a hit) and he did it even better! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gp27ZnyNrM6tfck

[@johnfrick9639]

My first exposure to Joe Cocker's wonderful rendition of this song (and, until now, the only version I can recall hearing) was the often replayed live Woodstock version. This one was still good, a slight bit slower than Woodstock, but not by a considerable amount. Basically, ole Joe took a relatively good Beatles pop song, gave it a slow, bluesy edge, and skyrocketed across the cosmos with it.
