Shocking Reaction To Joe Cocker - Feeln Alright

[@jessicalee7119]

For those of us who grew up listening to and seeing Joe Cocker ~ we love the physical joy of his presence. The more you watch him the more you'll see ~ Love Joe Cocker!

[@ParkerAllen2]

Joe Cocker loved Ray Charles and you can definitely hear the influence Ray had on him. Ray himself praised Joe's singing, which is very high praise indeed.

[@dianaspears571]

Joe Cocker didn't have a disability. He was high on anything he could get his hands on for years (by his own admission). He was known for moving to the music, it was how he performed. Joe did enjoy several sober years before he died. He's British but he was living here in the states and happily married when he died. Anything from his collaborative album Maddogs and Englishmen is just so good. He and Leon Russell were good friends and performed on that album together.

[@pamagnolia]

Joe did not have a medical condition which caused his jerky movements when performing. He was just feeling the music. Years later, Cocker told The Associated Press’ Mary Campbell that he was playing an imaginary piano and air guitar while singing - the elements that contributed to this unique style. “That was the frustration of not being able to play, really,” he said.

[@LynneConnolly]

He did have polio as a kid. Nobody comes out of that unscathed.

[@DesertSky928]

Wow!----his mannerisms convey EXACTLY what you stated in your comment! Thank you ♥♥,♥

[@mrmagoo9901]

Joe cocker was autistic.

[@pamagnolia]

Fabulous!!! This was written by Dave Mason and released by the band Traffic in 1968. Didn’t really take off until Cocker released it in 1969. As usual Joe killed it!

[@473mec]

Check out Dave Mason and the Quarantines do this song. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpWYZ5SmlMaUas0

[@crsounddoctor4937]

Hey TNT, Joe Cocker's got a "raspy-soulful" voice that sounds like it came straight out of a gospel church somewhere way down in the south!!! He absolutely rocked this jam!!! Thanks for your reaction too, much appreciated!!!

[@marthayoung2308]

Always loved this song and Joe does it so well! Thank you. He has always waved his arms around like that and danced like that. That's just Joe. Lol

[@greypossum1]

The type of dancing in the background was called "Go-Go dancing". It was very popular and many music shows all over the world had their own group of Go-go dancers. You need to see Joe later in his career do a live version of "You Can Leave Your Hat On".

[@nancyskomars1230]

And you had to have the white boots and miniskirt!!!

[@rosslynemrys5829]

Back in the day when everything wasn't choreographed and pure talent was appreciated, no bells and whistles.

[@nancyskomars1230]

No bells and whistles is so hard to find in music today. Please take time to listen and appreciate, Gabriel Henrique of Brazil. He sings in English but is only now learning to speak it. If you like him, also explore his songs in Portuguese like "Fim de tarde". kzbin.info/www/bejne/aH3XdWisgq6imLM

[@womanonthinice1276]

I love that a new generation is listening to the music we grew up on. Best time ever, 60s, 70s was a blast!!!

[@nancyskomars1230]

And for this new generation, out of Brazil, they get Gabriel Henrique. My 10 year old granddaughter loves him too. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aH3XdWisgq6imLM Hope you enjoy and look for more.

[@durango.j-onez]

Must have been something

[@markmurphy558]

I was watching Joe with my dad on TV one night, and was absolutely positive that Joe had some sort of palsy, and my dad was a nurse.

[@cheryljackson5659]

For a great later Joe Cocker tune, please check out "You Can Leave Your Hat On"! Great reaction, guys!

[@joesshows6793]

Gawd imagine having that voice???? It’s so good it made great songs ever better.

[@tomoleary7935]

Listen Lady .... Joe Cocker MOVED WITH FEELING AND FELT HIS MUSIC - Beautiful interpretations of every song he sang. He was one of a kind and he's sorely missed. R.I.P. Joe,

[@terryconnelly484]

You need to see Saturday night live John belushi impression and then the second version with both of them on stage

[@dragonfly4590]

YES! YES! just commented on that

[@realbser1956]

Joe is truly one of the greats, so much soul. Other songs suggested are The Letter, You Are So Beautiful (a ballad that you may know), Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood and She Came in Through the Bathroom Window, which was a Beatles song. No one’s coming for you Tasha. ❤️

[@glsdaisy]

Amen to all that, and add 'You Can Leave Your Hat On'!

[@debrabeck9630]

This is great, and he did feel the music. He knew his movements were different, but that’s fine. One of the funniest things I have ever seen was John Belushi doing his Joe Cocker imitation on SNL years ago. When Joe Cocker was the guest singer, John Belushi did Joe Cocker right with him. So, not only did the man have a distinct performance style, he had a great sense of humor about it. (I think you’re right about Austin Powers.)

[@donsigl8520]

Yep, the SNL skit with Belushi and Joe was amazing.

[@deborahcornell171]

Y'all had some serious chair dancing going on. Me too! That song just demands that you move. Three Dog Night did a great version too, but Joe's is a little funkier. Now check out Joe in later years doing "You Can Leave Your Hat On" (Official video). Great song, fun video showing Joe, the backup singers & musicians all in the studio together. 💙☮💙

[@conniekat3424]

The way Joe moves is like his signature...between that & his voice there is/was no other artist like him!

[@jojones1082]

You simply must do his song You Can Leave Your Hat On - it's beyond groovy!

[@doplinger1]

So cool, I don’t think I’ve ever seen that video but I love the song. He had a great hit in the 80s called “Unchain My Heart” and you would LOVE the official video!

[@jazzpsychic]

I was a hippy kid back in the 60's and went to see....somebody? at the Electric Theater in Chicago. Joe Cocker was the opening act; nobody had heard of him, he didn't have a record out yet. After the first tune, you coulda heard a pin drop. Everybody wondered if he was ok. But he went on and he was so effing good, everybody loved him. Check out his "Mad Dogs and Englishmen" record and tour. He is MUSIC, man. Instead of being some preening rock star he's just completely imbedded in the music. No showbiz bs with Cocker. A legend.

[@bigron725]

According to an article in The Roanoke Times to a reporter about his movements "Years later, Cocker told The Associated Press’ Mary Campbell that he was playing an imaginary piano and air guitar while singing - the elements that contributed to this unique style .“That was the frustration of not being able to play, really,” he said. I've heard this explanation multiple times . Watch closely and it seems to be true . Don't let anyone give you a hard time ! Y'all are great . Enough said .

[@Harvestersz]

Many years ago, I used to listen to Larry King's radio show at night. One night Joe Cocker was the guest. He showed up drunk as a skunk. I remember Larry kept saying to him, 'You're drunk, Joe!' and Joe kept saying back to him, 'mumble mumble mumble .... Everyone needs a little nip now and then, larry'. This went on for hours. One of the funniest things I have ever heard.

[@karenpowell6063]

Y'all have to do Joe Cockers Unchain my Heart live , incredible!

[@mikemiller3069]

"She Came In Through The Bathroom Window". It's another Beatles' cover that Joe knocks out of the park.

[@nancyskomars1230]

I saw him perform at the Fillmore theater in San Francisco, 1969. He twitched constantly. His fingers never stopped playing some silent instrument!!! I've never forgotten that performance!! Nice song to react to!!

[@darrelljohnson5764]

Love your reactions . Joe didn’t need drugs or alcohol . Joe , being Joe . Feelin it ! This was a televised live performance ! TV in those days “contained “ folks like Joe .Do Joe at any concert. Nobody is “ coming “ for you , just trying to help you understand Joe . Mad Dogs and Englishmen . Give it a try.

[@psmolek7438]

Even in his later years he still had those movements. The dancers in that reminded me of “Laugh-In”. Great show in the 60’s.

[@Teresia12]

You're right. No one was sober at Woodstock. I was a little too young but my sister who is 8 yrs older was there. I've always envied her the experience. Jo is one of a kind and so amazingly talented.

[@brianmasinelli9694]

You should see his live performance of ' you are so beautiful ' , amazing!

[@freedomfrom6827]

Yes he was an epileptic,I followed him when he had a band “joe cocker and the mad dogs an Englishmen” look it up.he was very gifted man

[@Lixallot]

Joe could feel the music flowing through him.

[@paulmorris8762]

my fave Joe Cocker performances are on the Mad Dogs and Englishmen tour which was conceived arranged, all musicians and vocalists chosen/hired by Leon Russell - who also was part of the Concert for Bangladesh

[@cliffordwaterton3543]

your facial expressions and moves said it all - no need for words😁 Unchain my heart and Delta lady are great songs which you might enjoy.

[@antarcticorb9197]

You're both correct. He moves unconventionally and he was fucked up on booze and drugs till he got clean years later.

[@LordEagle]

Don't sweat it,,,,he's just FEELIN' it. 💥💥💥👍😎

[@Peter-oh3hc]

All songs on his "mad dogs and englishmen" album/movie are aweaome

[@garyjohnson7133]

Joe Cocker put his heart and soul into his music!

[@mikemiller3069]

A+ on the chair dancing, Tasha! 👏🏆

[@navagate1900]

Check out Joe Cocker -" She came in through the bathroom window" and "You can leave your hat on." I'm not picking but that was the smoothest I've ever seen Joe move.

[@757optim]

Whether Joe was under the influence or not at Woodstock, it was not why he played "air instruments". Joe was an event. RIP.

[@TheAdventuresofTNT]

Which Joe Cocker song should we react to next ? Leave your suggestions in the comment section.

[@robinschulze934]

You Can leave Your Hat On, great song!!! I watched a documentary about Joe and they said he didn’t do drugs but he had a drinking problem at some point!!!

[@fgbergeron]

Mostly covers. The Letter, or She came in through the bathroom window.

[@chrisjamieson3452]

Leon' Russell's Delta Lady. From the double live/movie Mad Dogs & Englishmen. Leon is part of the band. Big part of his history.

[@dannycasson1551]

Have you done “You Are So Beautiful?”

[@davidgraves3252]

much older Joe Cocker singing "little Help From My Friends" --- Good way to compare Woodstock version. Queen's Golden Jubilee 3 june 2002 Phil Collins - drums Brian May - guitar kzbin.info/www/bejne/laiqZ3adosyha7c&ab_channel=sveta14

[@THEC.O.VISIT.]

Yeah I've seen lots of comments on vids lately, all of a sudden people gonna make you believe that Joe Cocker didn't get high?? Excuse me, I'll be over here laughing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@donnabruhn6907]

Check out a much more live performance of him performing You Can Keep Your Hat On. Gorgeous

[@denisepoole5838]

Joe Cocker felt the music the same way Stevie Ray Vaughan did, SRV with the stank face and Joe with his movements, but what a singer!!! John Bulushi did a spot on imitation of Joe Cocker on the earlier SNL shows. One time Joe Cocker was the guest singer and John did his "Joe" impression right along with him. Joe Cocker loved it!!

[@FolkSongsEtAl]

He had a reputation for being very high or drunk in shows during the 60s. I think he had to settle down by the mid 70s, because you just can't keep up the quality of performance, or even survive properly with that kind of lifestyle. He definitely had a particular way of moving.

[@eddieevans6692]

The next Joe Cocker song you should do is You Can Leave Your Hat On. BTW, no need to apologise for your initial reaction to seeing Cocker on stage for the first time. Most people had similar reactions.

[@richardbailey1295]

Joe Cocker: 'Cry Me A River' 'Unchain My Heart' 'You Are So Beautiful' If possible, from the 'Across from Midnight' tour in Berlin.....later, and great sound.

[@evanjameson5437]

arguably one of the greatest rocks songs in history!

[@kirkschabatka1999]

Thanks for Joe this morning! And God I'm so glad I'm not the worst dancer on this channel!!! Be well, kirk

[@827dusty]

Next song "Delta Lady." It's a cover of a Leon Russell song. Both are great. Joe had that "British" soul.

[@stevenspringer1599]

Hitchcock Railway! 'We' went to the fillmore in san francisco to see joe cocker after his first album (fantastic, still) came out but before we had seen him live/woodstock. We took some acid for the show. When he came out and started performing we had never seen his 'air guitar/spastic' movements and we were definitely freaked out enough to have to leave the hall and listen to the rest of the show in the cafe.

[@armadillotoe]

This is a great song and Joe's cover of it is my favorite version.

[@brockmiles1606]

watch the SNL clip where John Belushi did Joe Cocker and Joe joined him onstage.

[@jeremyfagner6808]

Joe Cocker was so amazing. No one could do a cover and make it their own song like he could. Listen to She Came in Through the Bathroom Window or You are so Beautiful.

[@robertlear2735]

I saw Joe Cocker perform this live in concert in 1969. I didn't know who he was at the time, he was just starting out. But he blew my mind, nevertheless.

[@jolenek283]

My dear friend Claudia often sang back up for Joe ❤The best

[@kajabrill2404]

Tasha, What you said was hilarious!!! 😂🤣

[@timpafundi6321]

You are absolutely right about there not being a sober performer at Woodstock. I can’t say for sure that Joe Cocker wasn’t zooming on Owsley’s amazing LSD, but I bet he was…😃

[@oakhillfound847]

Theres a famous episode of SNL where John Belushi is impersonating Joe while singing a duet with him.

[@allencarlson6128]

You two are by far my favorite reactors!! :)

[@jeffkocik8345]

For the love of God. His movements were a direct result of the fact that his idol growing up was Ray Charles. He imitated Ray at a young age and it continued through his career. It blows my mind that people “in the comments” of these videos that claim to know his music and his history don’t say this.

[@thomasbianchino3116]

Y’all REALLY need to check out Joe Cocker’s You Can Leave Your Hat On featured in the movie 9 1/2 Weeks with Mickey Roarke and Kim Basinger. The song was also featured in the brilliant British comedy The Full Monty, but that one was sung by your new fave TOM JONES. 😎

[@irreverentreverend]

Oh, yeah, Joe Cocker definitely had major groove going on. Everything he sang he made his own. The man was a powerhouse. I have two suggestions, for starters: 'Don't let me be misunderstood'; kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaeagJZ8nayCnsU, and 'I come in peace' kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYXClKenr72Ib6c from the last tour he did, about a year and a half before he passed. At almost 70 he still had it. Love your reactions, by the way. You just got a new subscriber.

[@supasoulproductions]

Feelin' Allright is a very popular song written by Dave Mason. There are great versions by Three Dog Night, Rare Earth, Traffic and Dave Mason, to name just a few.

[@crazydale1000]

A must with Joe Cocker is YOU CAN LEAVE YOUR HAT ON

[@jonnno243]

Delta Lady has always been one of my favourite songs by Joe. Please play it,

[@pegatheetoo1437]

Cry Me A River ... great song!!

[@beverlybrown2673]

You need to listen to one of his later albums, and IMHO, his best, One Night of Sin. Every song a classic. You Can Leave Your Hat On was used in 9 1/2 weeks, and the video for the song features scenes from the movies.

[@netgnostic1627]

I heard Joe Cocker interviewed - he said his movements started as an imitation of Ray Charles, who he admired very much. But he also said that after a while he was exaggerating the movements too much and was embarrassed when he saw himself on tv. So he toned it down. BTW, John Belushi did a hilarious send-up of him on Saturday Night Live, it's a lot of fun.

[@janabraam7963]

Listen to "YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL". It's amazing. SHE CAME IN THROUGH THE BATHROOM WINDOW. The duet with Jennifer Warnes UP WHERE WE BELONG.

[@tperran]

I thoroughly enjoyed your reaction. I agree that the backup singers and dancers added a lot to the performance. You guys do a good job with a wide variety of music. Suggestions: The Letter, You Are So Beautiful, I Can Stand A Little Rain.

[@charlesburris6314]

Woodstock was a music festival. Families went to enjoy the music. A lot of drugs were used but a large percentage of the attendees didn't partake in any. Have a great day!

[@deborahcooney9326]

He liked to get his drink on lol!!!!

[@michaeladame635]

John Belushi of Saturday Night Live also one of the “blues Brothers did a very good impersonation of Joe Cocker on an episode of SNL that should also be viewed for reaction.

[@andrewsmith6495]

If you really want your minds blown check out Joe singing I Who Have Nothing. As he got older he turned that voice to blues. This one will break your heart.

[@tomsa123456]

Find the Rona Elliot interview with Joe Cocker and Ray Charles. It sheds some light on why Joe sang the way he did and what Mr. Ray Charles felt and had to say about Joe.

[@ken2936]

Joe Cocker from 1986 - "You Can Leave Your Hat On".

[@Caseydog3]

Joe Cocker is not only feeling the music but individual drums guitar etc

[@timskelton2325]

You Can Leave Your Hat On. The official video of him and the band performing it in the studio.

[@jaydee5447]

Joe has all kinds of crazy soul

[@oldiesguy7552]

SNL with John Beluchi.......classic.

[@danielthelion1702]

🤘❤️🦁I’m a product of Woodstock, trust me you are absolutely correct they was all high a fuk🤗🤗you guys are awesome

[@roberthendershott8972]

Got to do YOU CAN LEAVE YOUR HAT ON 🔥🔥🔥💯

[@dennislillie8047]

Piano knocks it out !

[@RGIIIRedskins]

At Woodstock - he had the freedom of an entire stage, he could move much more. At this performance, he was on a much smaller raised stage. He didn't have nearly as much room to move like he did at Woodstock. Kind of like if you put a shark in a fish tank, it will only grow as much as the tank allows - that same shark in the oceN will grow to weigh over a ton.

[@deano2208]

What a beautiful time ❤️

[@Do-U-SmellThat]

The inspiration for Austin Powers you know the song montage was actually a show called Laugh-In but I can definitely see from that video how you could think that . This is my first video watching of you guys and I'm a fan one new subscriber keep up the great work.

[@scotttrainer9704]

In Woodstock he was playing air guitar. He may have invented it 😆

[@markwilliams5606]

Dave Mason did write this song. A lot of bands did this. Grand Funk railroad! Did the Best. Dave Mason needs exploring 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇬🇧✌️ R.I.P Joe! Woodstock

[@stevebuckskinner5482]

Tasha looks so cute 😍

[@philipsharp8250]

I enjoyed both your actions. A good job.

[@WilliamGueitsJr]

If someone hasn't mentioned it yet; this song was originally done by Traffic. NOT the Beatles~

[@Prone2Thrill]

My passion trio is Joe Cocker, Janis Joplin and SRV - true legends who felt the music in their soul.

[@TheGreatGig73]

I love your enthusiasm in your reactions! Keep it going. I reliving it!

[@joesshows6793]

I own 1500 records, 400 CDs and not a single Joe Cocker joint. I feel a little ashamed to keep it real

[@doltim]

It is like stank face of blues guitar. His body moves are part of getting the music out. Happens subconsciously.

[@lindakessler8768]

Joe Cocker was frickin cool. 👍❤🤙
