Joe Cocker - St . James Infirmary

[@zuzak4341]

One of the best versions I’ve ever heard. Gritty, raw, and awesome!

[@bobhill3941]

That's how I feel about she came in through the bathroom window too.

[@gabiheintz4001]

You are right! One of the best - but THW VERY BEST versiion ist the one with a hammond organ instead of the pianoforte, and a flute instead of the saxophone. Believe me.

[@Katsem]

Some people can sing. A few people have a voice for the ages. Thanks to God for Joe Cocker and the gift he shared with the world.

Cocker's version is my favorite. We'll miss you Joe.

[@trekker1234]

This is a great version. Remember it from my youth. Fun to hear it again. Love Van Morrisons but this is bluesier.

[@tomlau2009]

One of the best versions

[@ulricha.schmidt8915]

Das mit Abstan d schönste Blues-Stück, das je gesunden und saxofoniert wurde

[@gabiheintz4001]

Könnte man meinen... Er hat das Stück aber auch in einer anderen Instrumentalisierung gesungen: mit Querflöte statt Saxophon und (ausschließlich) Hammond Orgel statt Klavier. Und einem weniger flach klingenden Schlagzeug. Das ist DER BLUES ... Unerreicht!

[@johnnyaraujo1060]

Bons velhos tempos 😊 músicas excelentes e cantores magníficos. Quanta diferença para as porcarias pop de hoje em dia !😮

[@ΔημήτρηςΔαναοςΜπαλταςΒ]

Simply the best... Joe was one of my best singers...

[@MrIbgrant]

In ALL the years I've been listening to this fantastic performer, I have never heard this!!! A great take on this blues song. I agree with zuzak4341

[@colinhodgson3853]

Typical Joe Cocker treatment makes this essential listening. RIP Joe For your legions of fans you will always be the best.

I have been going back, and forth between versions of this amazing song and I was trying to figure out which version is the best..... I think I have a winner. This was amazing

[@cwferguson1664]

have you listened to van Morrison performing this ?

[@ARealPersonNotABot]

I haven't.

[@ghostyglover]

Or the doors, they mix it with summertime and light my fire

[@carusmike]

Random, same here for years, listening to both, making comparisons, and maybe this one gets it. But for years I listened to the guitar solo on the other version and was amazed by how inspired it is.

[@zeportella1321]

Saint James Infirmary! A quintessência do blues! Cocker coloca a alma nas cordas vocais! Sonzão!

[@petarivanov4226]

That is an incredible version. It just shows that it doesn't need to be similar to the one of Hugh Laurie or whoever. I love both versions! It's the soul they put into the performance!

[@stuffezes3735]

love this version; love this man..sad sad sad RIP

[@mariahornosmiller8624]

La mejor versión de este tema. Joe, un gran cantante y ser humano. Te amo desde hace más de 40 años y te amaré siempre.

Yo también. 50 años y nadie lo ha superado

[@gailwest8178]

By far the best version

[@Misslotusification]

Of him performing it, that's for sure. Since then, and 50 years later, I discovered the original.

The Best version ever by Joe Cocker.

[@fidelio5390]

It's a wonderful Version, to be sure. But the BEST VERSION EVER by Joe Cocker is the one with a hammond organ instead of the piano: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3TXp6l_n5Krr6M This is THE blues… Close your eyes and stop doing anything else… Listen, how he sings "her" in "Let her go, let her go! - God bless her …" so weak of depression.... And the soli of the other Instruments (I'm talking like his voice is an Instrument, i just realize…. but it kind of is ...), especially the flute which goes double-voice at some point, but the others, too …. Gorgeous! So musical …. Uncomparable!

For a stripped-down, intimate version, it has to be Dave van Ronk-----One man, one voice, one guitar, much feeling.

I'll have to check out Dave van Ronk's version. There's so many great covers of this timeless classic!

[@jewdali1]

Great singer , for me he is best

[@tythomas2987]

there are many version recorded by many different artist, all ok in their own way, but cockers version is the only version that is from the heart and soul. He sings as if it was him who lived it. This is why this version will be the only version which will be remembered forever. With all that said however, I have come across a piano version who has the same exact soul and feel. Check out on you tube, Henri Hebert, "Pianoman Soothes Busy Train Station". He is a concert pianist, If only we could have gotten him and Joe together on this, OMG!!!
