[@MarkEastman]

Man those days will never exist again. I was so lucky to have lived and witnessed them

[@Konigdok]

joe cocker is the only man in the world who is able to cover bob dylan, bob marley and fucking beatles and still make it sound original and unique

[@mm-qj6cc]

No religion,political bs, what brings all really together is simply music as its really real, the way I feel!

[@TheFruitloop186]

You have been released Brother Joe. Never has a person fulfilled his mission on earth as you have. You've brought joy to millions, you've touched the hearts of the masses. We owe you a debt of gratitude that we will never possibly be able to repay. Just hope you know how much you were loved and will always be loved. Go in Peace.

Julia S wonderful what you have written

[@sianchetty1361]

As Lore said, you wrote a beautiful comment.x

[@dominicdevereaux1712]

Julia S. That was truly beautiful Julia. He gets me a little misty eyed. I left Alsace, France at 16, on my own. Would have loved to have made the Woodstock thing, but I was hit in Quang-Tri Vietnam. 20 August 69. PEACE-BROTHER.

[@mykinks]

Julia S your post made me cry. Xoxo

[@KhanSlayer]

The most beautiful comment of all time. God bless Julia S and Joe Cocker.

When asked who was the greatest singer of his generation, Bob Dylan replied: “The greatest singer of my generation? Oh, Joe Cocker, I suppose! Here meets the greatest songwriter and the greatest singer of our generation.

[@felichia808]

Joe Cocker's version of Bob Dylan's "I Shall Be Released" is awesome. Brings tears to my eyes every time 💖 Rest in Peace Joe Cocker 💖💖

[@marcosgomes7681]

Back in my dark stage stumbling through drugs booze and continous depression I was in a pub high and getting higher when I heard Joe Cocker. His voice and his rendition of cry me a river that day changed so much for me in 3 mths I was on the path to a new life 46 years later I still love every song Joe sang. Thanks brother for being my inspiration if there is a god I hope he or she looks after you bless you my main man Mr Joe Cocker.

[@misstery5942]

Like he's singing your own heart out when you feel depressed

[@DIsmayedConfuse]

Pure heart and soul. Joe Cocker was a force of nature. RIP.

[@sandymartyn5410]

The music of today doesn't compare with the music of the 60s,70s,and 80s. Thanks Joe Cocker for the amazing songs. R.I.P. in Rock n Roll Heaven.

[@michaeldavies9533]

This version of Joe Cocker just brings tears to my eyes,Rip Joe you are so missed.

[@BlackjackHookers-nj7qj]

So true although the 90s had some killer tunes too, I grew up on music from the 60s and started hating what it became in the early 2000s, even worked as a stage tech in the early 2000s up to just before the pandemic and seen it first hand go down hill but still seen some kick ass bands play even groups I grew up hearing made for an amazing experience in life far more than what the public schools have ever done for me.

[@ganatas9597]

I'm older now but came back after my mother passed away. Thanks mum for your guidance. Love

[@PlayStudioAnimation]

the memory of loved ones is available to good guys, friend, take care of yourself

[@jea1855]

[@mckendrick4046]

Farewell Joe. You saved me in 1971. Never got to say thanks. Soon come. x

[@jamesgollan8602]

Joe Cocker had a gift, he could take any song and make it sound like an original..greatly missed

[@mik9124]

Oh my god ... that brings me to my knees. No words for how much I enjoy this voice.

[@curtzeek8818]

No one can sing it like that. RIP Joe. Miss you.

[@travislee11]

Best version ever. Nobody sings with more soul than Joe

[@michaelmiller7160]

The song is great. The music is very good. Cocker? I don't like his voice and I enjoy many singers with mediocre voices.

[@charliern]

​@@michaelmiller7160love it or hate it, nothing mediocre about Joe Cocker's voice

[@michaelmiller7160]

@@charliern Good correction and I don't mind Cocker here for the most part. I guess other voices I don't like to hear are Geddy (Daffy Duck on Acid) Lee, Freddie Mercury (not hate, just not into it), Tom Waits. Tina Turner (most songs she wrecks). I like many so-called bad singers though.

[@SkillBuilder]

Oh Joe you were so good.

[@coffeeNTrees]

RIP Lord Cocker. Today is the day. Love you brother.

[@SunnyJenny81]

I love this version! This song is GREAT no matter if it sings Joe Cocker or Bob Dylan! I love both!!!

[@mikegoodwin8069]

Joe Cocker at Woodstock one of the best live performances ever

[@craigdoyle9039]

Was there ever a better interpreter of songs of genius than this genius? Dylan meets Cocker is a match made in heaven

[@nirvanafox4319]

More like Richard and Cocker are long lost brothers.

[@kimryan6087]

I have always loved Joe Cocker. The way he performed on stage to his emotional and powerful voice. It brings chills down my spine everytime. But this song is my favorite from Joe...totally amazing!!

[@henrygarcia3227]

Joe has never been recognized for his great music. RIP. ❤

[@mattyfox666]

Fly high Joe, RIP x

[@nogingerfool1]

great comment xx

[@ripplemeinwater1]

The first time I saw Joe Cocker I thought he had something like epilepsy or of the like where your movement's are uncontrollable. I am sorry to say this but that's what I thought, I was also about 10 years old. 1971. But his voice is unmistakable and fantastic, You cannot mistake those grainy vocals. I have listened to everything he has done and never have been displeased. How could you be?

[@billaroyamaha2]

he leaves it all on the stage. love it.

[@seamuslexy]

RIP Joe - one of the great rock voices

[@steffnh6115]

Whart a voice, what a sound, what a song, what a man .... never again. We will miss you.

[@creagdouglas3983]

Just heard of the passing of Joe Cocker, RIP Joe, I'm sure your up where you belong

[@jjhkjhgkjh]

RIP Mr Joe Cocker! You were released into Heaven!

[@vidarlarsen748]

The best version of this song Ive heard. The backing vocals is just marvelous.

[@tongolele12]

+Vidar Larsen Yes yes -- whoa re the backing vocals? sound a bit like the band?

[@23igna]

I agree. The backup vocals are amazing

[@virginiebernard-ferrie1976]

I also LOVE LOVE Joe Cocker and ALL of his songs, but HAVE YOU listened to Marion WILLIAMS VERSION ?? SHE IS A-MAZING !!!

[@axelp5554]

The live performance of Joe Cocker on this day is certainly one of the best ever done. Everything is great, perfectly mastered even the imperfections.

[@allenscott7048]

Just need Joe

[@Roxy41262]

My brother and I had one thing in common "JOE COCKER". We saw him in concert in Sydney multiple times over the years and met him on some of those occasions. When my brother died last year I was devastated to say the least. We laid his ashes to this song. When Joe died in December it was like a double whammy for me. Rest in peace both of you xx

[@kdunagan4607]

blessings to you and may your heart be less heavy someday. it takes a really long time.

[@Roxy41262]

K. Dunagan Thank you so much.

[@dinh5532]

All my heart for you Roxy!

[@alexxdelarosa3051]

[@sianchetty1361]

Bless you, Roxy, for sharing your story with us about your amazing brother. He will always be sitting on your shoulder, keeping you safe. When the time is right he will be your guide on the next part of your journey.

[@beardedsailor9465]

Modern music is nothing compared to that unforgettable generation of the 60s

[@anthonympacchioli4905]

[@handymanm]

Amen Brother, Amen!

[@michaeljosephrusso33]

You're right about that!!! Nothing better!! I thought rock was done until grunge!! I've been enjoying listening to nervana!!💯👌 my grandson loves classic rock and now Nervana ✌️&♥️👌 be safe out there!!!

[@MarkEastman]

It can never be again

[@adonaiyah2196]

It really wasn't anything like what it was like

[@stevecarr5144]

You truly always were! One of my favorite twists of a Dylan song, truly from the heart...don't anyone these days sing like Joe. Love ya brother man, go with the Space choir...

[@beardedsailor9465]

This song is immortal,goes straight to the heart

[@eraldocolazzo6414]

God has sung through you Joe..........

[@minervasmith1459]

I was 13 years old back n the 1960's, ❤ All we had was, TV and the radio 📻 Never heard this song, til, I was watching reruns of Without A Trace,❤ Aaron Neville version, ❤ Couldn't get this song out if my head,❤ I've always loved Joe Crocker songs, a voice of Angels,❤

[@phizekes7162]

RIP Brother Joe. You were the Original Air Guitarist (Pianist), and your so soulful voice are totally irreplaceable. Peace eternal.

[@colinhodgson3853]

Have to come back again & again. This must be the best version by a mile. What a loss but at least we have fond memories of Joe.

[@dukedutchy]

Some raw voiced angel will watch over you Joe. I'm sure of it. RIP

[@SaltPower]

Bye bye Joe...you will live on in our hearts....thank you so very much for the wonderful music...you gave your all every time

[@joannbrozowski8735]

Sing with the angels, Joe, and make them smile. Just like you did for us.

[@larrybill2661]

Hello Joan how are you doing!!

[@colinhodgson3853]

No wonder Joe was the star of Woodstock. This makes every other version indifferent. Treasure this my friends cos you'll never hear better. RIP my friend & thank you.

[@colinhodgson3853]

Probably the best for me. No wonder he took Woodstock by storm. Best the UK ever produced by a mile.RIP my friend.

[@sonora108]

I believe that this is his best performance of this song, absolutely heart moving. Miss you Joe.

[@vincebrackin6672]

One of my all time heroes! I don't ever remember my life without Joe Cocker in it. RIP Joe, you have been released!

[@schymark7196]

RIP I hope your final days and hours were full of love and that your heart was free of pain. May god welcome you home to make beautiful music with all that came before you. Thanx for all the love you left us with.

[@RByers51]

This song affected me on a very deep level of consciousness when I first heard this version in 1969. Joe sang it with so much soul. It seems obvious that he had a deep connection with these lyrics. R.I.P. Joe, you earned your wings.

[@michaelbelfer1069]

Rick Byers You nailed it brother. Cocker sang with more soul than anyone I've ever heard or ever will hear in my entire life. I know you're rocking on for all times

[@whoelsedontanswerthat9525]

I don't think he ever sang a song without leaving the impression that it was about his life and probably the listener's!

[@nirvanafox4319]

Richard Manual, is Joe's Soul.

[@23igna]

Joe was a legend , i'm sure he's in heaven.

[@15061952]

Thanks for your music bro Joe. Rip Forever

[@albertastevens1348]

Another beautiful soul leaves us. Getting older isn't so bad knowing I shared the same time with him. His "Bird on a Wire" has been my mantra.

[@clouds882]

Still listening to the best the UK has ever produced & it's a shame his stuff doesn't get played more. RIP Joe.

[@brunoventurino1530]

He surely was the best. And it's a shame too that joe hasn't played lot of his old songs for years.

I never even knew of this movie or this song. Now I can't get this sentiment out of my soul. Can't believe I never heard of this song.

[@jasonhardie111]

I've been a big fan of his for years and this is the first time I've heard this song. Pure excellence, top class, spine tingling version, now one of my favourites of his.

I was fortunate to see him preform before he passed..... and he was like a fine wine.....with age he got even better. I grew up with him, the mad dogs and the Englishmen..... A passionate soul will be sorely missed
