My FIRST time SEEING Joe Cocker - You Are So Beautiful! I'm FLOORED...

[@eloisecarlin8695]

Oh honey, we didn’t love Joe for his looks or his moves ,, we loved his soul. Great reaction and thank you

[@lynette.]

You said it all 😊👍

[@rubyslippers8215]

Yup!👍

[@Spo-Dee-O-Dee]

His Belushi impression was absolute killer.

[@therosabella67]

Great comment! Agreed

[@HoneyBee03272]

Speak for yourself I think Joe is SEXY AF!!

[@sweisbrod6109]

In the '90s, I went to a Tina Turner concert. Joe Cocker opened for her. Joe's final encode song was "With A Little Help From My Friends". He had three female backup singers. One of the backups stepped forward and did the last verse/chorus with Joe Cocker. It was Tina Turner! The finished the song, Joe stepped back and Tine Turner began her portion with Proud Mary. Joe Cocker was one of her backup singers for that song. The transition from a Joe Cocker concert to a Tina Turner concert was seamless. Brilliant!

[@belvagurr403]

Ray Charles was first noticed in 1947 for his music but the 50s is when he took off with continued hits.

[@exeterpeg4809]

I saw that show in Cleveland, it was amazing!

[@aprilmajor5651]

Epic!

[@jsbeaureg]

I saw that show in Denver. It was amazing.

[@busher69]

WOW, what a story. I'd love to have seen Tina Turner. Just watchin' her videos about launches my ass over our roof.

[@carolynfrancis-mclucas6185]

He put his heart and soul into all his songs. That's what we loved him for. He's now singing to God. RIP Mr. Cocker.

[@BruceClemo]

He died when?

[@annb8296]

​@@BruceClemoDecember 22, 2014 (age 70). RIP Joe 🙏❤️💐

[@verenamenzel8958]

like Janis he gave everything of himself into this song ( and others too) not regarding outfit, face expressions or anything. Thats pure music!

[@alireed2009]

My husband played this for me and looked at me and told me that he could not sing it as well as this, I know at my age I am past being beautiful, but my husband always swore to me I was the best thing that he had ever seen. Sadly he passed away suddenly a couple of months ago. I just wish I could see that look of love in his eyes once more.

[@barbaramelville337]

😢😢😢so sorry for your loss 🙏🙏 prayers sent for your healing 🙏🙏🙏

[@valhorn244]

God bless you and your angelic husband?..

[@CaptainCrooch]

sorry you lost your hubby

[@ChrisSmith-bz1gl]

When Joe performs, you can't help but believe every single word he sings.

[@1chound1]

"Up Where We Belong" is another banger from him.

[@kelleewolfe2834]

Yes!! I forgot about that one!

[@missd9785]

Yes! Good suggestion. I was hearing the horns in You Can Leave Your Hat On ringing in my ears .

[@barbaramelville337]

Beautiful song from officer and a gentleman l❤❤❤❤ it. Ty for sharing this video 💕💕💕

[@NancyDVI]

Joe doesn't just cover songs, he channels them straight from his soul ❤

[@jokervienna6433]

Yep. Joe sang a lot of covers, but with great respect and honour. Often with his own twist. And ALWAYS from his soul. His voice and presence was incredible.♥

[@RichardWilson-be8zp]

One of the nicest and most humble men on the face of the Earth. I met him at 14 years old in 1977 in Sheffield England. He chatted with me for over 10 minutes then when we were done he said thanks for the chat lad I enjoyed it and I appreciate your time. Are you freaking kidding me this is Joe freaking Cocker I was thinking.

[@babs3010]

Awesome story! Thank you for sharing ♥️

[@roseambrosino457]

I’m 72 yrs old and we had the absolute best of music, we were there❤

[@MsRhodeman]

I totally agree❤ 70 here

[@MsRhodeman]

As a teenager I liked the song high Time we went I love the piano in it... Then I liked up where we belong with Jennifer Warnes, his cover of you are so beautiful and I also liked his live version of unchain My heart❤

[@MsRhodeman]

Oh and I almost forgot his song with a little help from my friends....

[@MsRhodeman]

His soul is exactly what attracted all of us to him when we were young....❤

[@machtshnel]

I remember when i saw Joe Cocker in concert at 18 back in the late 1970s All i can say all us tough guys would look at our girl friends with tears in our eyes. What a joy it was to be in his presence

[@smbake]

Every parent has sung this song to their child while holding them at least once! I can’t hear this without thinking of my daughter.

[@ArmandoG2013]

this was my song for my love, she passed this February and I cannot hear this without seeing her face, smile, it rips my heart out

[@kimcutts6153]

🇬🇧 Sorry for your loss Sir. 🫂

[@debbiecook8777]

Deepest sympathies for your loss

[@andreadavis9519]

😢I'm sorry for your pain

[@kinglebronify]

Sorry for your loss!! ❤

[@retiredfirelt586]

God bless you man. It is so much better on the other side of the vale... don't worry about her, she's ok.

[@thevocalcrone]

its pretty deplorable that Joe is not in the Hall of Fame. I'm sure i can't be the only one that wept when I found out he passed. The way he sings all generations will love him.. forever.

[@myowndrum286]

Wasn't he wonderful? And so right, he put his soul to work radiating outwards. He wasn't always treated well by the labels in America. That's the main reason he returned to the UK. RIP Mr Joe. I have enjoyed his music for many decades.

[@sharonlanteri2537]

Joe Cocker, an absolute legend❤

[@janecrow1122]

John Belushi's homage to Joe Cocker is worth the watch. Even better, John and Joe perform together on SNL. Peace, all 💕

[@taradevine6026]

I was about to say the same thing!

[@esscee219]

Me too, I saw that episode when I was in my teens, absolutely loved it. RIP to John Belushi and JC.

[@michellezaleske-estrada40]

That was the best! I was dying when I saw it the first time😂😂😂

[@taradevine6026]

@michellezaleske-estrada40 Omg, mee too!! Or Gilda Radner doing patty smith with armit hair lmao

[@scm021374]

He has a duet with Jennifer Warnes I believe called "Love Lift us up where we belong". It is also live and it is also amazing

[@audreyross5580]

That man felt the music in his bones and soul! He let it all out!

[@isaacvanwart-i2v]

Yes. You MUST-MUST-see the old Belushi SNL skits. Classic. Hilarious. Yet somehow respectful.

[@bryandamkaer3646]

This man is legend.

[@melindamohoski3083]

I'm an old timer who grew up with Mr. Cocker. Loved his music and performance. The group I hung out with called him spastic man because of his movements. No disrespect intended to the ledgend. There will never be another like him.

[@jimsteinmanfan80]

Funny you should mention Ray Charles. Joe sang it with Ray on Piano in a show at The Coconut Grove Night Club of the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles celebrating Ray's 40 years in showbusiness.

[@susanengland3919]

His soul is as beautiful as his music.

[@sarahanderson8635]

I watched a documentary about Joe Cocker a few years back, I think, and it makes you realize how broken this man was. How hard he tried to be happy. You watch it, and it just breaks your heart to know he didn't believe he deserved all he worked for. He was such a beautiful, wounded soul.

[@mumbles215]

He was offered help to get clean and took it and didn’t look back. A lovely man. A lovely soul. May the Lord have mercy on him and all of us.

[@billclarke117]

I sang this song to my daughter every night when she was little. Such a special song.

[@johncheney950]

Joe was full of soul. I saw him live, and it was an awesome show.

[@tulelazule6914]

yes, he made Tom Jones look like a comparative dork, just being himself . i think they did "Feelin Alright"

[@michaelmckinney1409]

Unchain My Heart is one of his best songs. Watch the official video.

[@glennburch1081]

When you find an artist that instantly removes you from your surroundings, that's the rabbit hole you want to jump down into. Joe cocker made a living from doing covers...... like nobody else could! His entire record “Stingray" is a banger, not widely recognized due to poor promotion. Some must-listen suggestions: She Came In Thru The Bathroom Window, The Jealous Kind, Catfish (About the pitching great Catfish Hunter), A Song For You (My all time favorite of his), Look What you’ve Done, Feelin Alright, and Worrier. JC passed away in Dec of 2014 at 70 years of age from lung cancer….. RIP JC and TY for the music you left us. Great reaction as always, TY.

[@mumbles215]

His feeling alright is fully sublime

[@nancyanne1402]

You Can be Leave Your Hat On!

[@loriwoodrow2711]

This song gives me chills and makes me tear up. You are such a good dad wanting to play this epic classic for your daughters. What a message for them to hear from their Daddy.

[@user-ii3vn8tn3q]

I just loved this man. The Letter..❤️

[@deborahpaley21]

oh yeah

[@mathewfranco3211]

Yes! And the Box tops version (first i think) also completely different.

[@pepijnst]

@@mathewfranco3211one of my favourite songs

[@SBel65]

And She Came in Through the Bathroom Window (and of corse the Beatles original is great too)

[@tjaartvanderwalt5864]

You can leave your hat on is also a great one by him.

[@piprnic1]

Super intense softness. It’s amazing.

[@pattymckitrick7436]

❤About 15 years ago, I took my 3 kids out to dinner. My son was just starting college then. The restaurant had karaoke, and I sung this and dedicated it to them. It was hard not to cry. ❤

[@elizabethfranco1284]

You Can Leave Your Hat On

[@user-ii3vn8tn3q]

👏👏👏

[@katy4639]

Oh yes!!!!

[@alwaysthewtite1]

It was in the film 9 1/2 weeks ago

[@Brenda-v7h]

9 1/2 weeks....❤

[@dennisshaper4744]

Looks like he does...

[@marionNYC---]

Ray Charles said Joe Cocker was his greatest devotee. I love him. Thanks for showing this.

[@micheleparadis2808]

My two favorite Joe Cocker songs are: You Are So Beautiful (almost painful to watch) and Feeling Alright (totally different vibe)

[@Lakeshore14]

Joe puts EVERYTHING into his performances. He delivers at a level that almost seems not human. His soulfulness is on display and he moves his audience. Thank you so much for your great reaction and for zeroing right in on his special talent. Love me some Joe Cocker. 👏👏👏🥰

[@lisay.1042]

Congratulations on your new Baby girl. Enjoy!🎉

[@JoanBelo-h5y]

Nothing nothing nothing touches this performance! ❤ Great reaction! 👍👏🎉

[@gkiferonhs]

Joe Cocker's albums are good, but his live performances are elevating.

[@melodyszadkowski5256]

There are only a handful of singers in rock history who have this kind of "heart and soul on display" emotion: Joe Cocker, Steve Perry, the Righteous Brothers, Bob Seger, Lionel Richie, Ray Charles.

[@ozarkhillibilly9584]

HIS MANNERISMS ARE DUE TO HIS DISABILITY AS WELL AS HIS PASSION. HE WAS A GREAT PERFORMER.

[@mariedelgado1613]

He did a great job on she came into the bathroom window by the Beatles. My dad said he was a plumber before he was a singer .

[@michellesirois6954]

He looks like a blacksmith...and sounds like an angel❤

[@jacqueline4514]

He feels every note through his body. So much more!!!! “The Letter” and She Came In Through The Bathroom Window” 🔥

[@LindaLittle-m7j]

I love your reactions and comments to Joe Cocker singing ( You Are So Beautiful to Me,!❤😢❤❤

[@lisalovemc717]

Such an incredible song and still gives me chills, but wow, after 55 years I've never heard this version! Thanks for posting!

[@wheredidthetimego8087]

It became popular because of Joe Cocker. He was well received and well liked.

[@Iam_lamb]

Joe lived in the mountains of Colorado….he died here some years ago….LOVED HIM TO MY SOUL❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@kathybowles495]

Over near Paonia, Colorado.

[@heartwork8318]

Definitely “You Can Leave Your Hat On” 🤭 His voice is epic! BTW Billy Preston played keyboard for the Beatles and later for Ringo’s band. ❤️‍🔥✌🏻🫶🏻

[@karensilvera6694]

YES! I love that song. I saw him as the opening act for Tina Turner's 24/7 tour in Philly. My friend and I could not believe how great they were.

[@chaunapierce8678]

In the 70s when we used to get to even see Joe Cocker on TV We always refer to him as being spastic. I think that's part of where the term came from calling someone a spaz. I love his stuff though he is so bluesy and soulful.

[@1funbeachbum2]

Joe is the the MUSIC MAN

[@lookin-up]

Ty for saying "you need this"...yes! This is true greatness, glad you will play it for your daughter!! RIP Joe.❤️❤️

[@xirknight]

That guy playing the piano is golden with the magic touch.

[@KevinHarris-qu8cd]

Best concert ever . And I have seen the best..

[@mikelair9144]

Joe Cocker always left it all on the stage!!! 🎉. Love it!!!

[@tcdeger]

You can keep your hat on !!!!! You can keep your hat on !!!!!!!!!!!! You can Keep Your Hat On !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@sandyleewhite]

It was said that Joe Cocker felt the music so hard, he couldn't stop his body from moving, as if it was playing every instrument at the same time.......By all accounts, this amazing man, was the most gentle person you could ever meet, and wore his soul like a blanket, for all of us to see 💗💗💗 ***RIP GREAT ONE*** 💗💗💗

[@tazjammer]

Joe had ceberal palsy. Many didn't know

[@sandyleewhite]

@@tazjammer That was actually a rumor.....Joe Cocker never had cerebral palsy, and in one of his quotes ""I never played organ or piano or guitar, so it was more out of frustration and me just trying to impersonate in a way," Cocker explained. "I did it subconsciously. People mistook for me being ill, like I had palsy. I'm not nearly so demonstrative now, but I still have my own way of feeling the rhythm."

[@RockinMamaT]

Great soulful song from soulful man. Great reaction and Peace out ✌️ ☮️ 🙏

[@srv2217]

Joe Cocker was one of ONE.

[@kylesummers1565]

Ray came first, but Joe also has the soul. I feel it too!

[@pagemeredith4532]

The radio version is so good, he let's out a little cry at the end. You can't help get teary-eyed yourself. I do believe he feels every word he sings. You should play Up where we belong W/Jennifer Warens it's a beautiful ballad and was in the soundtrack of the movie An officer and a gentleman.

[@veadairavani5692]

First off, congratulations to you and your wife for your newborn! Joe Cocker was just the best. The reference to Ray Charles is appropriate. Two soulful souls.

[@TheGreatGig73]

That is more amazing than I thought it could be.

[@amyperkins2008]

This is one of the songs that I sang to my kids when I would rock them to sleep when they were babies. Definitely timeless!

[@cog4life]

5:42 ah yes. Yes it is. His whole soul goes into his performance. 😊❤

[@mariedelgado1613]

My dad said Joe Cocker said he was the best cover singer around . I think you are so beautiful might have been his and Jennifer warnes song . Joe does a great job with the Beatles songs too .

[@deltalady23]

That was "Up Where We Belong". great duet, Grammy and Oscar winning song

[@honestone490]

When he sings it's almost like having a channeling experience beyond this world.

[@RENfan1265]

People use to say that it looked like he was having a seizure. Beautiful voice ❤❤😊

[@bonnievonbraun6276]

But he played beautiful air guitar. 😊

[@Brenda-v7h]

Yes, I remember being told he had cerebral palsy when I was just a kid in the early 70's and thinking how amazing. His music is soul-stirring ❤

[@AP-gb3eh]

Amazing performer who just took over the room . Saw him in a small club in the early 80s and we were enrapt attention,just a great night. Coincidentally we saw Ray Charles & The Rayettes the same club same summer, also a impeccable performance ☮️

[@clare1061]

When the night comes live will blow your mind. His stage presence is amazing.

[@ayedee6681]

My song for my wife. Our song. So beautiful

[@remyhocage9854]

At first, I also thought he was convulsing but I was assured it was the emotion physically raging through body. Amazing performer.

[@gailsage7921]

Feeling Alright is amazing as well.

[@debhennig2918]

You need to react to his official video for his song "You Can Leave Your Hat On". Definitely playlist!

[@sukioki6983]

Dolly didn't just sing "I will always love you"... She WROTE it!... My mom graduated in 1973. Her generation loves Joe Cocker

[@vickiepower6201]

One of the greatest, thank you Joe Cocker your music takes me back to great memories ❤

[@martins4879]

Chickenskin ... Goosebumps kicking in immediatly. I see hin 5meter in front of me singing live in Berlin Waldbühne beautiful colored set up, one of the best live performances I experienced and will never forget. Joe is pure soul and I think he is singing with the angels now, and all of them are impressed by this beauty The best thing of all, the concert was published (I even can see me in the crowd), so whenever I want to have a good mood, I just need to start an old fashioned thing called DVD to have a good time. It was the across from midnight tour. RIP Joe

[@maddy7]

Joe was one my favourite rock singers growing up. He sung this song from his soul. I wish I could go back & relive all the fantastic singer/songwriters from the 60s, 70s & part of the 80s. They sure don't make them today as they did back then. ROCK

[@damonhines8187]

It seems so obvious to express yourself exactly that way when you're in that place. 😊❤ I saw Joe touring this in the mid-70s; he still put everything into his performance, and left a lot onstage, including a puddle of vomit behind the drum riser, unless they had a bucket stashed back there. Came back out, finished the song, whichever it was, and the rest of the show. Always affecting. Must see/hear? 'Leave Your Hat On', 'Up Where We Belong', 'Feeling Alright', 'Delta Lady', 'Cry Me A River', 'Bird On A Wire', 'Let’s Go Get Stoned'. A fan from the first. Rest In Peace, Joe Cocker. 💐 💙

[@keithdelaney3728]

2 years before Woodstock I met Joe in his hometown of Sheffield England. I was a 15 year old apprentice Gas fitter and I had the privilege to work with Joe for 2 weeks. We talked incessantly about music and he encouraged and inspired me to go on to be in several bands on drums and finally keyboards. RIP Joe and thanks X

[@TheresaWesterfield]

"You Can leave your Hat on". Joe is amazing!

[@margaretervin8895]

Listen to Leon Russell "A song for you" got the same blues feeling, Great reaction Robert!

There was nothing like Joe Cocker before him, and there will never be anything like him again. He was absolutely one of a kind. God broke that mold when he made Joe.

[@cindyphifer970]

You should watch his official video You Can Leave Your Hat On. Saw him in concert. He was great. R.I.P

[@Kipperbob]

Joe always left everything on the stage, you knew he felt every note he sang to his soul, because you can see it.

[@Heartstrings_Skyla]

My husband sings this song to our daughter ❤

[@revaflowers3115]

This was written by Billy Preston and Bruce Fisher. Joe wasn't the first to cover it,but he is iconically connected to this song the same way he is with The Beatles "With A Little Help From My Friends" Joe did a duet with Jennifer Warnes that won a grammy for best song by a duet in 1983 and then the song was awarded an Oscar to Buffy Sainte Marie for best original song.The song was called "Up Where We Belong" from the movie An Officer And A Gentleman.

[@pkw16]

Dennis Wilson also helped write this song but isn't credited. He sang it at most Beach Boys concerts from 1975-1983.

[@Marsha8of9]

My dad fell in love with this song and learned to play it on the piano. He would always play it for me on my birthday--without me asking. This Billy Preston interpretation by Joe Cocker is a classic that will always reminds me of my dad. Thanks for the reaction.

[@janfijay]

Saw Joe live many times. He's from my hometown. His voice remained beautiful throughout his career. He put everything into every performance.

[@lital.5222]

Can't imagine anyone else singing this. Joe put it all in there ❤️

[@luckyphil59]

Joe Cocker was one of the great musical enterpreters. He take words on a page and gives you heaven in your ears. You gotta check out his later work. "Don't you love me anymore"
