A FUN SIDE TO JOE!!.. | FIRST TIME HEARING Joe Cocker - You Can Leave Your Hat On REACTION

[@eclipsegurl2002]

Amber is definitely right. This was a scene in the movie 9 1/2 Weeks with Mickey Rourke and Kim Basinger.

[@margaretwaite7226]

Yes. And I'm old enough to remember this movie. When Mickey was totally gorgeous.

[@denisehoma5977]

It’s a shame what has become of Mickey because he was definitely hot when he was young .

9 1/2 weeks is soft porn, basically. Strange movie. I have the DVD.

I was at this video shoot. My father was friends with a band member (R.I.P. Kevin Falvey) and arranged to meet Joe prior to the shoot in a private setting. He signed a promo photo for me. Was very polite to me and appreciated my interest in what I would see later at the video shoot. Very sweet man. Got to tour around the room and check all the instruments out. There was a track that went around the entire band that the cameraman rode on to get the footage. It was an amazing day with my father and the legend himself, Mr. Cocker. One of the best memories of my life!

Joe is a legend but that band is right up there with him amazing.

[@linda1541]

Joe does a great duet with Jennifer Warners in “Lift us up where we belong.” It’s a little softer side of Joe. But with his grit and her pure crystal voice it’s perfect.

"Ok, This Is Obviously A Movie" You're absolutely correct, Amber This is from the movie "9½ Weeks"

Song was also used in the British comedy The Full Monty

[@lds5870]

Also in "The Full Monty" for the guys first number on stage.

[@DW-vd9mp]

Yes and it was quite risqué in 1986! The whole soundtrack is amazing.

[@andrewwright9378]

Yup. That’s Micky Rourke and Kim Basinger. “9 and a half weeks”was the “50 shades of Gray” of its day.

[@jamiepeers4642]

Check out the Commitments you will love it."Mustang Sally" and "Try a little tenderness". The lead singer is a teenager but he gives you total Joe Cocker vibes.

[@vandergod]

One of my favorite movies! It’s such a great movie, acting and music. Great suggestion!

[@tud1366]

If you've never seen the movie The Full Monty, which this song is in, it's well worth the watch. It's such a fun, feel good movie!!!

This song was on the soundtrack track for "The Full Monty" But, that was a cover by Tom Jones This version was originally released on the soundtrack for "9½ Weeks"

Song written by the incredible Randy Newman 14 years before the movie.

[@denysewilliams8375]

Met Joe three times and he was one of the nicest human beings I have ever encountered.....fan for life!

[@randyhochstein8455]

This song was written and originally recorded by Randy Newman, and has been covered by many artists including Joe. Maybe a good female Friday song would be the version done by Bonnie Rait. She is legendary. ✌🏼😎

[@Rogn1]

Bonnie Raitt is someone they are completely missing on Female Friday. Should be a top listen to.

Sir Tom Jones does an excellent cover of this song.

[@johnharkness7114]

His cover of Prince's 'Kiss' is priceless, too

[@LadybugLuv]

@@johnharkness7114 Priceless? Lol yeah as in no amount of money can make it a good song! It was so bad, I was offended! I don't mind Prince covers, but at least do a good job! I may be in the minority though, but it was that bad to me. Why is he covering so many songs? Sorry for my rant 😖

[@richmiddlebrook3103]

This song was in the movie "9 1/2 Weeks", which is what these scenes are from.

[@tec52]

You should also try Joe's "She Came in Through the Bathroom Window", "Feelin' Alright", "Delta Lady", "The Letter" and "When the Night Comes". Joe was a legend and someone that B.B. King once said was the best blues singer that he ever heard.

[@theresistance2641]

So did Ray Charles. Lol

[@sheripetrey1882]

Oh yes Ray Charles for sure!!!!!!, grew up on his music?, basically bestme ories of my childhood. Mom loved Janis and Jimmi and dad loved Ray Charles from way back!!!! I just know they are all partying up there in heaven oh yes my really really loved SRV!!!!

[@davidward3122]

They wou.d .love the stuff with L eon Russell for sure. Melissa Ward here

[@susankolesar7209]

Delta Lady is still one of my all time favorites from Joe Cocker - Mad Dogs and Englishmen album!

[@janicefaye8225]

Night calls is a great song and Don't you love me anymore are two of my favorites.

[@lyriasfaves]

I cant hear this without picturing "The Full Monty"... one of my faves!

[@lyriasfaves]

I like Tom's version best.

[@sandraroyce5820]

Can't hear this without picturing Robert Carlisle in that security hat. Fantastic movie. Fantastic sexy song

No matter what kind of song Joe sings, you always know "that's Joe Cocker!" Totally unique .

[@robinschulze934]

Unchain My Heart, when the Night Comes, Now that the Magic is Gone, Feeling Alright, Up where belong!!!!!

[@TheDivayenta]

Up Where We Belong with Jennifer Warnes from An Officer and A Gentleman was a huge hit for Joe. I love it!

[@sportschool3537]

HOW have you not heard "Unchain my heart" yet??? It's BY FAR the best song of Joe Cocker... and the one that showcases his gritty voice the best... an absolutely legendary song...

[@cheryljackson5659]

A great cover of the Ray Charles classic!

[@lovemyrainydays]

Tom Jones's later cover became hugely popular, but for me, this Joe Cocker version is the best, the definitive, the only version!!

[@tanisdevelopment]

Now you need to hear Cocker's version of "Unchain My Heart" from around this same time.

[@jeremyfagner6808]

Another favorite of mine is his cover of She Came in Through the Bathroom Window.

[@dawnavery5730]

My favorite use of this song is the end of the movie The Full Monty. It makes me smile every time. 😊

[@anxofernandez3344]

His rasp, his grit, his growl...he was born to sing the blues. Not many bluesers are at his level

If you are looking for the fun side of Janis Joplin, check out "Mercedes Benz". She exposes her real self in that song.

[@julieharden2433]

That's my favorite Janis song. I love her laugh at the end. It's the best.

[@ButtonPhonics]

Joe toured Australia regularly but I missed out on the concerts. My friends raved about the voice, the passion, the backing vocals, the horns and much more - his last album in 2013 is great too - amazing voice til the end, sadly. Joe was the best. So glad you appreciate him.

[@crzyoldmn]

Have you heard "When The Night Comes", "Feeling Alright" and "Up Where We Belong" with Jennifer Warnes. This song was also used in "The Full Monty"

[@kevincaulder9001]

You need listen to Joe Cocker walk into a bar late at night and rattle the dust and floorboards as he absolutely smokes the place with his rendition of the Ray Charles classic, UNCHAIN MY HEART. He brings soul, grit and just enough gospel to call it home, before leaving the dust to settle in his tracks as he leaves. And his sideman isn't half bad either. And if want to get back to his roots, FEELIN' ALRIGHT and THE LETTER are great numbers.

[@boosuedon]

This song was written by Randy Newman who wrote songs for, "Toy Story" and also had a big hit with; "Short People". FUNNY FUNNY MAN!

[@m.vondrake5534]

He wrote this for a movie in the late 80's. He and Joe re-released it for another movie in the mid-90's. It's Randy Newman on keyboards of this version.

[@richardmather1906]

This song is Randy Newman straight through. Even when sung by as distinctive a voice as Joe Cocker, you can still hear Newman in there.

[@ptournas]

Definitely, even if no one sang it the music alone gives it away as a Newman composition. I do love both versions anyway.

[@davemcbroom695]

[@joycewinn1960]

The late great Joe Cocker had so many great songs such as this one. "She Came In Through The Bathroom Window" and "Come Together" were great versions of other Lennon/McCartney penned songs, like "With A Little Help From My Friends." Also worth checking out are "Feelin' Alright", "Unchain My Heart", "The Letter" and a more recent song "Hymn For My Soul."

[@marlenabaker9894]

Speaking of Randy Newman, Short People is a fun one, lol

[@elmarievanniekerk6003]

"Unchain my Heart" the best Joe Cocker song ever!!

[@JAYWALKER1000]

Has no one recommended Randy Newman? He has a twisted mind and a unique but also Cocker-like voice. Besides "You Can Leave Your Hat On", there's "Mama Told Me Not To Come", "Short People" (it's about prejudice), "It's a Jungle Out There", "I Love to See You Smile" and "He Gives Us All His Love".
