Joe Cocker and Jenifer Warnes Up where we belong live

Joe Cocker and Jenifer Warnes - Up where we belong live - from the UK entertainment variety show Live from her majesty's which ran for almost five years from 1982.
During its run, Dionne Warwick, Shirley Bassey, Roy Orbison, George Benson, Tom Jones, Bruce Forsyth and Donny Osmond all topped the bill

Jennifer Warnes has gone without recognition for way too long. She is a brilliant song writer and a beautiful voice

[@thomashayes8901]

I agree.

[@earlyraybonneville1762]

One of the greatest duets. Jennifer Warnes doesn't get her due credit for giving this performance the vocal texture and perfect counterpart to Cocker's rasp and soulful delivery. This is a perfect combination. Replace either performer and there would have been no hit.

[@gohilton]

Agreed she is a great duet singer!

[@niklasohman5021]

Agreed, she is superb.

I totally was thinking this when I read your comment. She knows to complement, to modulate, to keep her eye on Jow’s mouth.

[@louisevad6091]

I’ll say it . They are both so unique and such powerful singers. A duet for the ages. I rank this duet #1 all time. Prove me wrong . I know I’ll be listening to something good.

[@olivermontero5533]

some songs can not be replicated when it was already beautifully crafted. their voices complement each other and the song fits perfectly.

[@cliffmoher1096]

Just my opinion, but I think this is the most wonderful duet in Rock/Pop history. I guess there are bigger name duets, and some songs were bigger hits, but I can't think of a one that featured two more seemingly disparate voices that meshed so magnificently as these two did.

Who put thumbs down? This is so beautifully done. They go back and forth, two individuals, flowing in and out with the singing. Never losing themselves and making the music greater than each of their performances. I'm sure if they did it again it would be different.

[@davidscott129]

Probably because she wouldn't do the "sexy chick singer" thing.

[@mayloo2137]

She made a solo album Famous Blue Raincoat that contained her covers of Leonard Cohen songs. Before that, I remember her single Right Time of the Night. Don't know which came first - Raincoat or this song. But Right Time preceded them both iirc

[@SloMo2723]

Joe Cocker was an amazing singer! One of a kind!!!

[@TheRealCoryKent]

I have no idea how on Earth you can say he's amazing. He's not on key for most of it, he's got so much rasp and gravel in his voice he's hard to understand, and he's got not a lick of vibrator or timbre, or any of the qualities that are used to measure great singers. I always say, considering his health, his body, and the vocal chords he has, he's good. But there's no way he's "amazing" without qualifying it, by any reasonable standard.

[@electroncapture]

There’s something magical about Jennifer Warnes.voice!

[@littlenicks9566]

@ Electroncapture. Couldn't agree more. I'm straight but something about her voice here soooo turns me on lol.

[@hanseldsouza1417]

she sang the song 'time of my life' in the movie Dirty dancing'.

[@alvislancaster5967]

Yes ,I know....always thought her voice made her sexy.......there's something about her!

[@thedolphin5428]

She's a mezzo to alto soprano -- lower than the usual soprano woman. That gives her a power and feel which reaches deeper into the chest of herself and the listener (ie, the heart cavity) than just a cerebrally high skull vibration. In the chorus she's singing the underneath harmony which compliments Joe's voice beautifully because usually one expects the woman to take the higher part.

[@joejones9944]

Yeah, she has a Beautiful voice. Had a couple of good hits herself in the early 80's..... Right time of night was one and I know a Heartache when I see one

[@timdh-2818]

Joe Cocker had a great voice for his stature. Jennifer Warnes was a sweetheart of a singer. Classy both of 'em

[@TheRealCoryKent]

That's the best way to put it. He does not have a good singing voice by all measurable standards. But with what he does have in terms of body, health and vocal chords, he does sing well.

We have this song. Song writers and performers have a hard time doing better. There’s a story that Brahms resented Beethoven because the later’s symphonies were so superlative that it made it very difficult for anyone who came afterwards. Thus culture advances.

[@stephenross5706]

Jennifer Warnes was blessed to have two wonderful duo partners on Oscar winning Academy Award movie themes within 5 years. This one with rocker Joe Cocker on An Offficer and a Gentleman in 1982 and 1987 with the marvelous Billl Medley, former of the Righteous Brothers, performing the closing and inspiring piece "Time of Our Lives" following the memorable and beautifully choreographed dance conclusion featuring the late Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Gray in Dirty Dancing. From film producer comments with an Officer and Gentleman., Joe Cocker was was the undeniable choice as a duo partner with Warnes with his distinctive inspiring soulful guteral passionate voice blending so wonderfully with hers. He was chosen for this God given talent in songs he had performed previously on his mega hit album Mad Dogs and Englishmen related to such songs as remakes of Cry Me a River , Beetle hit of With a Little Help From My Friends,etc. This song and their participation brings in such wonderful memories of the films conclusion where Richard Gere's character of Mayo( or " Mayonnaise" a nickname given to him by Louis Gosset Jr's in his Academy Award winning supporting actor performance has a tough military sergeant) comes in to take Debra Wingers leading character from her Factory position in riding off into the sunset on his motorcycle.. Included in this series of scenes also showed up Gosset' s character breaking in and breaking down a new batch of recruits for military service. Gere's character of Mayo exhibits a grateful glance at his former tough Marine sergeant who helped to mold into the man he became. I was blessed to see both of these movies on the large screen and the closing duets of Warnes and her very appropriate singing partners an the inspirational music attached to it. It brings back many memories in my mind both of these movies from 33 and 38 years ago.

I sense that both Warnes and Cocker sought the imprimatur of the R&R Hall of Fame during their heyday. Warnes -still alive- has most likely moved on but maybe not. Purposely the institution has stuck with the bad boy sobriquet even though it encompasses most genres. The operators love the term: rock and roll because it is a good marketing ploy since the transgression appeals to the young and arrested developed.
