So Beautiful.. 😍🥰😍 Joe Cocker “You Are So Beautiful” Reaction | Asia and BJ

[@kierstenridgway4634]

One of the few artists that I openly cried when he passed. He was a part of my youth. ☮❤

[@surlechapeau]

Asia & BJ, you'll love his "Feelin' Alright", "You Can Leave Your Hat On", "The Letter"!! His sings with his body and soul!!! 2 of his songs down, many more to go for you!!

[@raenellefisher8514]

Yes. Except. This is his best, I think.

[@dianaprobst3157]

He was always so emotionally raw, pouring himself completely into his songs.

[@robinlabouche2230]

Joe Cocker was magnificent, there will never be another singer like him, one of our original English Artistes that performed at Woodstock !!!!!!!

[@dagmar.6954]

I grew up with Joe Cocker's music. He was an English singer known for his gritty, bluesy voice & dynamic stage performances that featured expressive body movements. He recorded a few Beatles' songs "With A Little Help From My Friends", "She Came In Through The Bathroom Window" & "Something". Other hits were "You Are So Beautiful", "Up Where We Belong" (a duet with Jennifer Warnes), "Delta Lady", "Feelin' Alright", "Cry Me A River", "The Letter" etc.

[@bobanderson9141]

Most of us from that era did not look at him when he performed.

[@weslennon3425]

I would never do a Woodstock ever again, but the memories of being there are unforgettable. He did this song a the concert of many, but his version of With a Little Hellp From my Friends was, once in the day, again latter that night when his back--up singers were flown in. This was written by Billy Preston, Joe didd it live from the tv music show, The Midnight Special, and went to as many concerts as I could get to. He will be missed.

[@IanLeoMusic]

The beauty in the simplicity of this song... straight to the point and touches your soul

[@254967conwell]

Every song Joe covers he owns. I first heard Mad Dogs and Englishmen when I was in Nam and been a fan ever since. Rolled many a joint listening to "She came in through the Bathroom window "and Delta Lady

[@sylviapotter6328]

Joe Cocker recorded this song in 1974 and it became his signature song, when I was 14 I was watching a late show and Joe Cocker sang this song, he was dating a woman named Eileen Webster in 1963 and they had broken up after in 1976 he had a hard time with the last 3 words of the song and cried so you know I cried myself to sleep that night so this song made me cry for yrs after that.

[@ct8449]

I always cry at this song. When I was pregnant with my third baby they were doing ultra sounds every 3 weeks trying to figure out what was wrong with him. Did he have spina bifida, was he hydrocephalic, did he have kidneys. Every ultra sound brought a new problem. When he was born 3 weeks early there were 5 pediatric specialists waiting in the delivery room with us. He was 5 lb. 9 oz. and they couldn't find anything wrong with him except he was very high jaundice. His skin was so white it was kind of see through, he was bald and he had an allergic reaction to the eye drops that made his eyes swell shut. He was the ugliest little thing ever but he was Perfect. This was our special song and I played it all the time for him, he loved it.

[@Rafaelrodriguezable]

Your babe was a big miracle ok You are bleesed

[@clarryhill]

Beautiful

[@Lopyswine]

How old is he now? My son was born 6 weeks early with a hole in his heart. He had open heart surgery which saved his life but paralyzed his throat and right eye. He was on a feeding tube for seven months. He looked like a robotic alien. But he was beautiful to us. Eventually all his nerves healed. He learned to swallow and his eye got stronger. He's now a six year old full of energy and in the 80th percentile. . He's my warrior.

[@ct8449]

@@Lopyswine He is 34 now, and it still comes back to me. He is tall and strong. I love that your little boy got better. Thank you for sharing.

[@arsenalmanic]

RIP one of the legends !

[@jimmyaye4204]

I've watched him sing this before, but I still cry like a baby when he gets into it. Listen to Joe's gorgeous cover of "I Think It's Going to Rain Today".

[@minigirl6379]

Joe was the man. Nobody even came close to him. I've been so sad since he passed. He was incredible and I love him. ❤

[@sylviapotter6328]

When I was about 11 years old I watched a late show and Joe performed this, he had just broken up with his girlfriend of 13 yrs and at the end of the song he barely make it and cried through the ending I remember crying like a baby for about an hour. He does an amazing When A Man Loves A Woman. ❤ Joe Cocker

[@jax4538]

Asia amd BJ are the best. Their analysis of the music is far superior to almost all other reax vids. Thank you guys. Appreciate the work you put in these.

[@memorywhitton5527]

I love how he sings from his soul,everytime he does anything, he's mesmerizing, loved ya'lls reaction, hope ya'll have a blessed day 🙏

[@fire12wife]

This song means so much to me! My Father was a singer and piano player back in the day. He would play several gigs a week in the late '60s and early '70s! He slowly got away from it as he got married and had us kids, four of us! He got to watch us grow up loving music. He always had great music playing in the house. It was the best thing he could have done for me. I'm also a singer and musician. Music is the air that I breathe! On my 16th Birthday, my Dad took me out to dinner, just him and I. As we were driving back home, this song came on the radio. He hardly ever sang anymore. I think because he missed it so much. On this special day, he sang it to me from start to finish! It made us both cry. Then came my wedding day... I told him we should pick a song for our father/daughter dance, but he said I should pick the song. We hadn't ever talked about the song after my 16th Birthday, so I was pretty sure it wouldn't have crossed his mind that I would choose it. As we were called to the dance floor, the song started to play. My dad immediately knew what it was and instantly started to tear up. We danced while everyone was watching us. We didn't have a chance at holding back the tears. My dad told me how proud he was of me, that he could see how happy I was, and that my Husband was truly the one meant for me. After the dance, my mother asked why I picked that song... I said because Dad sang it to me on my 16th Birthday. She said "He did?" I told her it was memory that was just ours, so I thought it would be perfect for our dance. My husband and I celebrated our 30th Wedding Anniversary, the end of April! I still tear up every time I hear this song. The serenade and the dance will always be two of the greatest moments of my life! Oh, and my first dance with my hubby was 'Lady', by Kenny Rogers!

[@nickfiorenza5930]

One epic beautiful song by the late JOE COCKER. This was our wedding song when I married my wife of 40 years. Still brings tears to our eyes.

[@jeffgatewood2104]

Congrats!

[@bruceparkhurst300]

Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys also wrote part of this song. He never asked for or got credit, but he sang this song at every Beach boys concert until he died in 1983.

[@robertzastrow4648]

It's long been rumored that "You Are So Beautiful" was co-written by Billy Preston and Dennis Wilson (of the Beach Boys). In many mid to late 1970s Beach Boys concerts, a spot was saved for Wilson to perform this song, with just a piano backing. He'd usually dedicate the song to the audiences.

[@martyjansing2675]

As the story goes... Billy Preston was out in Laurel Canyon. He was attending a party and Dennis Wilson was there. Dennis asked Billy to come down to the basement with him to listen to a song that he had written. He asked Billy to fill in the piano for him. Dennis liked the piano and told Billy he could use it. Billy Preston goes to Joe Cocker and tells him that he has to do a new song that he had written. And didn't tell Joe that Dennis really had written the song and that he had just filled in some of the piano.

[@kdm71291]

Joe sang from his soul! Every man should sing this to his woman!

[@Vee1music-lover]

Us older folks adore Joe. What a stunning live performance this is! Love watching u younger people hearing what we grew up with. U help keep all this awesome music alive! Thank God. Thought that music was gone forever except for being on our playlists.😊

[@mssnip69]

I sang this to all my children after they were born. So every time I hear this song I tear up, such emotion

[@mannycarinha770]

❤

[@shihyuchu6753]

I met the writer, Billy Preston...in Avenal California. Spent the day with him. What an experience

[@vickiconley3638]

Wonderful artist with so much passion and I love his raspy, bluesy voice. Anything by him is great.

[@2460welshguards]

It’s so Raw so intense , sadly missed Joe thank you for your amazing talent we lived the joy and pain with you

[@lynnsmith3976]

Oh my Asia and BJ, thank you for doing this beautiful song by Joe. Please try You Can Leave Your Hat On or Unchain My Heart (videos). Thanks for being so good to my ears.

[@deborahcornell171]

Young Joe? Check out his version of "With A Little Help From My Friends" at Woodstock...iconic! For a really fun video (an older Joe) do "You Can Leave Your Hat On" Official video. You won't be able to hold still to that one.💙☮💙

[@John-fk3rv]

WOW!!! I'm still still amazed every time I hear him sing this song.

[@brianmasinelli9694]

One of my all time favorite performances

[@mikecaetano]

Stellar! This song was huge in the seventies. Joe Cocker really puts his heart into it. When you're ready for more from Joe Cocker, check out his cover of the Box Tops 1967 classic "The Letter" from his 1970 Mad Dogs & Englishmen album. Rita Coolidge, Donna Washburn, Claudia Lennear and others provide the backing vocals and Bobby Keys lays down a sax solo for the ages. Fire!

[@chha6439]

It amazes me. I grew up with the stuff then now I get to watch peoples expressions years later it’s so rewarding. i’m in my 60s and I cry every time I hear it so don’t be ashamed cry ..

[@kennydenson4139]

No one has or ever will capture the emotions he delivered!

[@Voreifeler]

For me the most touching and beautiful love song!Can't listen without crying.

[@Meyzen76]

Meeting this man was one of the coolest experiences of my life. Spoke to me one on one and was super gracious. He was too cool. And that voice...

[@osocool1too]

I bought the You are so beautiful album back in 1974, and loved it. I first heard Joe in 1968 around the time his Cocker Happy album was released. Still loving his timeless music all these years later.

[@krw73]

There are singers that sing the words and there are singers that feel the words... You can tell that he feels every single syllable leaving his mouth

[@donnyduty2553]

My wife and I saw Joe Cocker at least 20 times. And each time we thought, This was gonna be his last show, because he put every ounce of energy in every song. I also want to say that I really like to watch your reactions, keep doing what your doing.

[@patrickpb3353]

I saw Joe singing in the Claire Valley, South Australia in essentially a field in the mid 1990’s. An open air show. Was brilliant. Really, really good. With wine of course 😂

[@richardfox1605]

This is one of the earliest songs I remember hearing from my childhood so beautiful. His voice was anything but pretty I'm a conventional sense but what ability he had to use it. What a song

[@andykamstra4692]

hi Asia and BJ I’m an old dude that grew up listening to a lot of the music that you folks react to. Just recently started watching reaction videos U2 youngsters are my favorite. I wish you peace and happiness. Thank you.

[@grandwazoodebris1015]

"breathes life into the song". You're the best reactors. You get it, you feel it. Cocker did lots of great songs, Woman to Woman, High Time We Went, The Letter, Feelin' Alright, lots to choose from.

[@no2all]

My favorite Joe Cocker number is "Now That The Magic Is Gone" sung with every ounce of emotion the man can muster. A beautiful song about the shock and pain of the breakup.

[@billcole5035]

Every time I hear this song I think of my wife of 50 years. Thank you for a great reaction.

[@Prone2Thrill]

Joe and Janis pour more emotions into their songs than seems humanly possible! Younger Joe? Nah you know he aged like fine wine and only got better! "You can leave your hat on"

[@bobdonovan34]

I'd throw Stevie Ray Vaughan in there too.

[@Prone2Thrill]

@@bobdonovan34 Yeah even more so guitar playing wise than singing for me (GOAT with Jimi) but no shortage on both fronts. His vocal runs on Texas Flood are so damn cool

[@StevesFunhouse]

Wow, BJ, you called it right. I was tearing up when you both were, AND while you were talking about it. Great reaction, you two !!! If you are looking for some songs of his to react to, you NEED to listen to pretty much anything from his Mad Dogs & Englishmen album, or tour. There are video clips of some of his stuff, but man, he had a cast of thousands with him on the tour ... Leon Russell, Delaney and Bonnie (whole band, Rita Coolidge, Carl Radle, Jim Price, Jim Horn, Jim Keltner and Jim Gordon, Bobby Keys, Jim Keltner, among others, and a slew of singers and background singers. However, it was really all about the great songs he did. Songs of all types and many, different genres ... fast, slow ... happy, love, etc. you name it, it's there.

[@davidhesse5883]

All songs are reinterpreted by Joe Cocker. The album is called Organic, rel. 1996. "Heart full of rain" is similarly emotional.

[@davidb7180]

I heard a story about a guy and his wife going to their favorite bar. The reason it was their favorite bar was because it had their favorite jukebox. And that jukebox had their favorite song. Joe Cocker's 'You Are So Beautiful'. Well one night while they were listening to their favorite song, this one guy wouldn't shut-up and was talking loudly and laughing over their song. The wife of the hero of our story asked the guy to be quiet. Well, let's just say he chose poorly. So our hero gets up and proceeds to beat the ever-living crap out of this guy. After he got done beating him, he took his wallet and got out one dollar. And then played You Are So Beautiful twice. Moral of the story: You don't want to ever interrupt Joe Cocker singing.

[@sealdrup]

Such a unique voice. Definitely co·pa·cet·ic....

You can't go wrong with Joe. Try Feelin' Alright and She Came In Thru The Bathroom Window from his Mad Dogs and Englishmen tour which included a bevy of great support performers such as Leon Russell and Rita Coolidge. I'm surprised that tour had any survivors so intense it was.

[@jasonbroad5478]

[@kevincaulder9001]

Suggestions. UNCHAIN MY HEART. YOU CAN LEAVE YOUR HAT ON. THE LETTER from Woodstock. FEELIN' ALRIGHT. When Joe Cocker sings, it is the equivalent of a wounded animal growling in outrage of a love buried deep down in the soul. Refusing to give despair the upper hand in denying his expression before his last breath is exhausted. The man gave life, body and soul to his music. And left it for us to listen to forever. Thank you, Joe.
