UNREAL!| FIRST TIME HEARING Joe Cocker - Unchain My Heart REACTION

[@Shrykespeare]

One of Joe C's best, covering a Ray Charles classic! Next, I hope you do "The Letter". He also did a marvelous duet with Jennifer Warnes called "Up Where We Belong", which was from "An Officer And a Gentleman", a terrific movie that I'm sure you'll watch someday. It stars Richard Gere and Debra Winger. Louis Gossett Jr. won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for it.

[@galvinklatt5273]

“The Letter” will knock your socks off. The best version, IMO, is the one in 1970 at the Fillmore. It’s got everything! My fave Joe performance of all time! 💜

[@galvinklatt5273]

Here is that performance with Leon Russell on the keys! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpnPp4Sbo5mgjdk

[@TracyfromNC]

Great duo of Joe and Jennifer, there's a great performance of them singing it together from a British TV show, and that's a great movie! Very uplifting!

[@spicerack4397]

@@galvinklatt5273 Be still my heart. Such a fan of Leon Russell. I remember when I saw him for the first time on The Midnight Special. I have loved him ever since.

[@aleatharhea]

Ray Charles was the first to record it, but Bobby Sharp wrote it. It's become a blues standard.

[@michaelmacdermott6340]

Joe Cocker, the most prolific cover man! 147 covers and 37 originals. The man is phenomenal! He takes an old song and gives it New birth. Most of the songs that he covers, I prefer his versions. This is one of those beautifully rich covers!

[@benjaminconrad3674]

Im 100% with you, he is the only one I not only search for covers I didn't hear yet, but I want them too, cause they are sooo good

[@Cynthia...]

You can’t get too much of Joe Cocker he has so many great songs When you think you love one you hear one that you love even more. 🧡

[@wildbill7081]

soooo true

[@kimryan6087]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE JOE COCKER! You need to do his song "When the Night Comes," and "She Came in Through the Bathroom Window." They are absolute🔥

[@chosanwan1510]

You beat me to When the Night Comes, it's such a good song.

[@marymays8846]

Yes yes yes!!! "She came in through the bathroom window"🔥🔥🔥 mad dogs and Englishmen 😱

[@billpo]

The man is a LEGEND…incredible voice…

[@DG2244]

Unchain my soul! Joe just had "IT" and would deliver like no one else.

[@donnafloyd4699]

Joe Cocker is my favorite singer since the 70’s and I listen to him every day. Was in New York at the time of Woodstock and missed going cause I worked two jobs. Got homesick and moved back to Bay Area,Ca. Missed my family.

[@jennyjenny4501]

I saw Joe Cocker in concert 2 years before he passed away. He is timeless! Best concert I’ve ever been to!

[@davidbordonaro1631]

I'm jealous

[@ronhunt9396]

I saw him in the 70s in Detroit

[@beckyfearereck]

I’ve seen him too! The man has best air piano ever!

[@blackprix]

Another great performer whose name you don’t have to hear you know who he is when you hear his voice! Iconic

[@marybaillie8907]

Masterpiece!!! Cannot beat Joe's raw voice in this song. One of my favourites of Joe Cocker. What an amazing artist. He does this rendition proud.Ray is smiling down. I am dancing in my bed.🎶🎶🎶 Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️ ❤️ 🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@kevinhales421]

Coming from Joe’s home city we loved him. It’s great to see you younger generations loving his music❤️

[@bazzer124]

Love me some Joe! Was fortunate to see him live years ago. RIP. Cheers....

[@stevenlaurenson3755]

Great song , superbly sung and supported by the great late Clarence Clemons on sax.

[@jenniferneuensmorgan9272]

I love this song with Joe singing it. And seeing the big man, Clarence Clemons, just made my whole bloody day. ❤❤❤

[@rainersar3910]

joe always surrounds himself with great musicians and great arrangements! Great work by all.

[@sherryarflin726]

Gosh, he was so fantastic in concert, especially in the seventies.

[@richdiddens4059]

He was the absolute master of taking someone else's hit and making it his own. My favorite deep dive of his music is the Saint James Infirmary Blues.

[@davidbruin4381]

"You can leave your hat on!" Should definitely be the next Joe Cocker video you watch.

[@surlechapeau]

they mentioned they reacted to that one

[@robertunderwood5608]

It's a Randy Newman song. Why not do Randy Newman "I Love L.A.",

[@thomasthompson698]

I love "The Letter" and how he manages to make a Beatles song super soulful on "She Came in Through the Bathroom Window "... you will love both!

[@greenworm7915]

Joe Cocker is soooo good!! His Mad Dogs and Englishmen album is classic gold!! ❤❤❤

[@nyrocks5580]

Love this song. Fantastic energy and...that voice. As others have mentioned, his live version of "The Letter" absolutely rocks.

[@doplinger1]

Oh you guys, I’m SOOOO GLAD you did the video for this too, it’s so cool it makes you want to be there! My favorite Joe song!

[@kevincaulder96]

No one covers a song like Joe Cocker. His raw wounded voice comes from the belly of the beast. It is the wounded soul that makes real. Try coming away from his songs like FEELING ALRIGHT without being lifted by the sermon on his voice. Or the ragged dread he brings to Beatles song COME TOGETHER. I love the sound of Joe Cocker because you will never hear it today. Because of the often sterile, perfect nature of music today, he would never be given a chance with today's audience. But we were lucky enough to appreciate the genuine quality and soul he lived and breathed into his music. And that is why he is missed.

[@willowthegood9035]

They played this song in the clubs all the time! Brings back such happy memories.

[@surlechapeau]

Jay & Amber, you'll love Joe's "The Letter" and "She Came In Through the Bathroom Window" !!!! edit - saxophonist Clarence Clemons(Bruce Springsteen's band).

[@elizabethfranco1284]

Originally done by The Box Tops and The Beatles

[@elizabethfranco1284]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3aTd5-ef9ObopI 1964 original by Ray Charles it’s been too long since you reacted to him.

[@elizabethfranco1284]

You guys do know that I Get By With a Little Help from my Friends is a Beatles song.

[@MrMoon1953]

I second "When The Night Comes".

[@GrumpyOldGuy534]

There's a live version of "You Can Leave Your Hat On" that is truly amazing. Joe at his best

[@scottlaughlin9897]

Love that song!

[@brucecantin1867]

Thanks! Thank you for the terrific reactions. You guys are genuine and beautiful humans. You were my first subscription on here, and always the best. As a side note, a new reaction of The Rolling Stones would be awesome, "Can't you hear me knocking" You guys will love it!

[@joem3099]

When Joe started singing I thought Amber was going to start crying from the pure emotion Joe put into it.

[@quinny6920]

Can never beat a little JOE!!!! Hope y’all are well !!

[@howiedavis2316]

I KNEW IT!! That was Clarence Clemons on the Sax, who played for Bruce Springsteen & the E-street band !! I recognised that face and style immediately, so I had to look it up

[@Goobie77]

Me too! Just asked that question!

[@TomGorham]

I sang this in my band's 35th reunion concert in 2008. It was a wonderful standing room only crowd. I loved it. I'm 71 and I can no longer perform but I have my memories.

[@TheCornishCockney]

We are the blessed generation for sure fella. I’m also a boomer and I thank God I was born in ‘54 and soaked it all up. We had no high tech,just perfect music,we were always at a gig or headphones on absorbing yet another classic album. Maybe I’m a music snob but todays “music” is easily the worst in history,it’s shockingly bad,but like you,I have my music and my fantastic memories.

[@timelliott1033]

I've been a fan for 50 years+. Something that gets overlooked is the great musicians and singers he surrounds himself with. He did a Mad Dogs and Englishmen album you would love.

[@donnaralph4413]

Just gotta love Joe❤️❤️. Great reaction ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@juliacrabtree5198]

CRY ME A RIVER..... incredible🎉

[@MHume63]

So glad to hear Joe again- LOVE him!!!

[@anthonyblakely399]

really did that song from Ray Charles so much justice!!!! OMG!!! Love me some joe Cocker!!!! Wow!!! Great song too!!! And that Sax....stole the show!!! Wow!!!

[@jessiecampbell1086]

Joe was a gentleman, and was born and bred about 20 miles from where I live, so I feel immensely proud of that fact. "Up Where We Belong" from the movie "Officer & a Gentleman" (Which I hope is on your list of movies to watch) and "Delta Lady" are great songs by Joe. 🎶🎼🎙❤🇬🇧

[@missyd5016]

Delta Lady is a personal favourite. ❤

[@bigd718]

I was lucky enough to see him live at a casino here in Oregon before he passed, and completely spellbound and soul satisfying evening....RIP Mr. Cocker....

[@DJHolte]

The guy playing the saxophone solo is none other than the late Clarence Clemons (nicknamed 'The Big Man'), who played in Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band for many years -- and who had a hit song of his own with Jackson Browne called "You're A Friend of Mine".

[@joannevincent2035]

"Unchain My Heart" was a #1 Billboard Hot R&B hit for Ray Charles in 1961. Joe Cocker really matches brother Ray soul-for-soul in this 1987 release - #11 Billboard Mainstream Rock.

[@robertlear2735]

I saw Joe Cocker in concert in 1969. He didn't do this song but he blew my mind anyway.

[@jannetkoolman5645]

I’ve had the privilege to see him perform live once, with my late dad. This short, stocky man dominated the whole stage with his voice and charisma. Amazing

[@JeffSkymaster]

Backup Singers were the Bomb! and the Sax player OMG.

[@joshgrant824]

Y’all gotta listen to “now that the magic is gone” “sorry seems to be the hardest word” “don’t you love me anymore”

[@kelanth462]

Love this guy. Such a great raspy voice. How does he scream like that with such a voice?? The song I love is "When the Night Comes" Lindsey Stirling - Crystalize

[@meinok3662]

Joe cocker had so many incredible songs, "up where we belong" "Hitchcock railway" "what are you doing (with a fool like me)" "feelin' alright" "livin' in the promised land" "love lives on" "shelter me" and my personal favorite "when the night comes" there are so many more.

[@drjag1155]

The kind of voice you reconize in two notes

[@clare1061]

He was the kind of guy that when he opened his mouth you were in shock to hear his voice for the first time. There will be no other like Joe Cocker.

[@john81473]

Jay and Amber I’m so happy that you have listened to this great song by the great Joe Cocker. You will also love Up Where We Belong. It was the theme song for the movie Officer and a Gentleman. I also would like you to give a listen to Stranded In The Jungle by The Cadets. It will put a smile on your face. Love your show!

[@michaelknight2118]

Wow, just wow. Up Where We Belong, everybody wants. The Letter, classic. Thanks again for this smile.

[@mattpotter8725]

Sheffield's finest!!! What a legend!!!

[@phonebone81]

Hello, thank you for sharing this beautiful video. I love Joe Cocker and have seen him live a number of times and it has always been great. One of my favorite albums is "Sheffield Steel" with a lot of damn good songs like "Look What You`ve Done", "Shocked", "Ruby Lee" and so on. But there are so many in his career that you can no longer say which are the best songs from J.C. - and that's a good thing! Best regards @all from hamburg (germany)

[@vicprovost2561]

The amazing Joe Cocker, saw him 3 times, once real close, that man sang his heart out! Try High Time We Went, another of his classics, always did it in concert to a big response. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶

[@jesseheiman1806]

Every Blues and Soul singer worth their salt has covered this song. But Joe Cocker makes it his own. R.I.P. Joe.

[@harveyharveyness8773]

One of the most unique voices ever-one note and you know who it is-he knows how to work a song-You go Joe-miss you

[@Joshualuv13]

There are so many brilliant songs of Joe Cocker but this one rocks !!! That's what I call .Music !

[@kevinmalone2218]

I had the privilege to see Joe Cocker live around 1981 in a venue that held about a thousand people...amazing show!

[@lazaruslong6382]

Ok,it's go to be said,the little dance the backup singers performed as they got on the stage was also something special in this world,and there couldn't have possibly been a better fit for Joe's singing.

[@Grendelbc]

That's Clarence Clemons on sax! I never knew he played any songs with Joe. Outstanding! So sad both these giants are gone.

[@jeanstrickland2445]

His voice is so raw I love the way it sounds 👏👏

[@sharonlaflair8605]

Love Joe Cocker. Amazing voice, like no other...

[@andyrunton]

My absolute favorite Joe Cocker is “Love Lives on.” It’s got a more modern sound, but it’s all Joe. And it’s so incredibly touching. An instant tearjerker for sure. ❤

[@lynneyland9230]

This "Boomer" loves to watch you two young people get off on "My music" You make me so happy! Keep it up guys! You are doing "God's work" Lynn from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada!

[@ramontieso1208]

With Joe you should always go live. He has a live video of unchain my heart that is awesome

[@jobydogwhisperer4163]

Joe has been one of my all time favorites. He that thing.

[@tmr626]

I feel the best Joe Cocker hit song is 'When The Night Comes' which was featured in the Oct. '89 Tom Selleck movie 'An Innocent Man.'

[@grahamhastings4751]

In 1972 my dad was a part time Limousine driver here in Sydney and on odd ocassions would ferry some well known celebrities around town, to night clubs , people's houses etc. One of those was Joe Cocker , while he was here in Sydney and Melbourne performing concerts during that year. Apart from tipping my Dad $100 one night after taking him to a night club which was a lot of money back them for a Limo Driver , my dad always said he was one of the nicest blokes he'd ever met. A true gentlemen, down to earth and a good soul. Sadly missed by all who knew him.

[@davidbentley145]

This man is missed (RIP) brother Joe...Ty guys for this lovely piece...

[@barrymuller5131]

I’ve been suggesting this song for a while now and if you liked this Joe Cocker song, sound and video, you should listen to the Eurythmics song and watch the video of “Would I Lie to You.” The video is also in a night club like this video and there are dancers, background singers, horns, great guitars and the clear strong voice of Annie Lennox. Can’t be beat!!!

[@spicerack4397]

Breathtaking. Just the best singer to make you feel the words. The arrangements are just top drawer...the band has their $hit wired tight, like they sayin Texas.

[@KelvinCommbo]

True❤

[@stormy8207]

D: So chuffed. Sat watching this with a smile on my face. Have suggested this video a number of times and so pleased you love it. This is close to one of my favourite songs and it is one of those where you are always left wanting more of it. This is by far the best version of this song IMO

[@jcoats1203]

You might like Joe Cocker “Cry me a river”with Leon Russell, way cool video.

[@RWonline]

Every note starts in his toes, climbs up his leg bones, churns around in that chest somewhere, and comes out as clear as blood. Viva Joe Cocker,

[@chosanwan1510]

When the Night Comes is a great song.

[@carolgarnermcadam610]

I haven't heard that song in forever! Kudos!

[@robrobertson4619]

1970 live performance of “The Letter” has Leon Russel on piano for Joe Cocker.

[@susanstavrou4232]

One of my favourite songs this man is a legend!!!!!

[@sylviapotter6328]

Joe Cocker would cover a song and make it his own, in 1968 the Beatles heard Joe's version of "With A Little Help From My Friends" and loved it, they were actually in the studio when he recorded it and John Lennon played guitar on the song. When he performed at Woodstock his career shot up. In 1974 he recorded "You Are So Beautiful" and it became his signature song, in 1983 he performed "up Where We Belong" with Jennifer Warnes for a movie called An Officer And A Gentleman, it was his best selling song and hit #1and he won a Grammy Award. I couldn't believe he was #97 on the Rolling Stones top 100 greatest voices of all time WHAT! It's was so sad when he passed away December 22, 2014 from lung cancer.

[@petejones879]

Bear in mind also this is over 35 years since he sang with a little help from my friends at Woodstock and he's still got the voice... No longer with us now tho sadly but his legacy lives on

[@magneto7930]

He's done a few Beatles songs, With a Little Help from My Friends you've already heard, and the other one is She Came in Through the Bathroom Window.

[@teresajarrell452]

RIP CLARENCE CLEMMONS and JOE COCKER!!! 2 ICONS!!! ❣️🙏❣️

[@robrichards585]

Your comment about being ‘under the spell’- he toured Australia about 2004, we took our twins who were 14 yrs old at the time and they are still under his spell from seeing him live👏👏

[@billclarke117]

Good time for a movie suggestion..."An Officer and a Gentleman" which features the great Joe Cocker song, 'Up Where We Belong' which won all kinds of Grammys. Great Movie and great song. Two for the price of one.

[@billclarke117]

BTW, one of the greatest endings to a movie ever. You'll have to watch to see.

[@snodgrassgerald2352]

he surely the master of space and time. they way he comes in and out of a verse, the music. and the range. thanks guys 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@maryannturton9830]

Bluesy,soulful,gritty...Those pipes,and those horns!🎙🎸🎹🔥👊😎

[@saxmusicmail]

The backup singers really make this song, too.

[@pamelawertz498]

Now you need to hear Ray Charles do the original. And it's one of his best songs!

[@rhondagomez4152]

The way Rob was grabbed with the piano intro was sweet. Amber jiggling and swaying along with the beat (I was right there with ya Lady). This was fun to watch when you both jazzed out with the Sax. Love your Rob Squad Reactions.

[@billbufford2320]

I was a senior in high school when this album by Joe Cocker came out. Saw him sing this on Jonnie Carson and immediately thought it was such a killer rendition. "When The Night Comes" is great and was used in the Tom Selleck movie An Innocent Man.

[@TheC.O.-VISIT]

Love it, dark, smoky, raw, sleezy, just screamin 80s 💙

[@rongorby6735]

My Dad introduced me to Joe Cocker when I was in highschool. This was his fave and it reminds me of him everytime I hear this song. Enjoy listening in heaven Daddy.

[@EricHenning]

Ray Charles called Joe Cocker “my one true disciple.” That’s it. That’s the list.

[@dlbeal]

Finally, this is my favorite of Joe Cocker's videos and song.

[@josephscally6270]

Joe delivers as usual, and I also really enjoyed the overall production of the number.

[@in8hope617]

Has EVERYTHING you want in a song...EVERYTHING. Just perfect. ♥ Wonderful:)

[@scottvanhille5688]

Classic. He is a legend in his own right. Try his "When The Night Comes" sometime. Song suggestion: Eric Carmen--It Hurts Too Much (1980).

[@rolfhansmuller4004]

Joe Cocker - N'oubliez jamais - that´s also a nice song from Joe Cocker

[@mattpotter8725]

Joe Cocker is a legend. You have to check out his duet with Jennifer Warnes called Up Where We Belong, it is a classic and although a ballad so less bluesy it is an amazing uplifting song and his voice (and hers) shine through and meld together perfectly.

[@brianpowell6058]

If there's a heaven what a duet Joe Cocker and Ray Charles would make doing this song.
