When asked who was the greatest singer of his generation, Bob Dylan replied: “The greatest singer of my generation? Oh, Joe Cocker, I suppose! Here meets the greatest songwriter and the greatest singer of our generation.
Interesting you should say this.... 🤔 Then can you explain to me why Joe Cocker isn't in the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame? 😳 Dolly Parton - Yes Joe Cocker.- No I don't get it.
You have been released Brother Joe. Never has a person fulfilled his mission on earth as you have. You've brought joy to millions, you've touched the hearts of the masses. We owe you a debt of gratitude that we will never possibly be able to repay. Just hope you know how much you were loved and will always be loved. Go in Peace.
Julia S. That was truly beautiful Julia. He gets me a little misty eyed. I left Alsace, France at 16, on my own. Would have loved to have made the Woodstock thing, but I was hit in Quang-Tri Vietnam. 20 August 69. PEACE-BROTHER.
Back in my dark stage stumbling through drugs booze and continous depression I was in a pub high and getting higher when I heard Joe Cocker. His voice and his rendition of cry me a river that day changed so much for me in 3 mths I was on the path to a new life 46 years later I still love every song Joe sang. Thanks brother for being my inspiration if there is a god I hope he or she looks after you bless you my main man Mr Joe Cocker.
So true although the 90s had some killer tunes too, I grew up on music from the 60s and started hating what it became in the early 2000s, even worked as a stage tech in the early 2000s up to just before the pandemic and seen it first hand go down hill but still seen some kick ass bands play even groups I grew up hearing made for an amazing experience in life far more than what the public schools have ever done for me.
@@charliern Good correction and I don't mind Cocker here for the most part. I guess other voices I don't like to hear are Geddy (Daffy Duck on Acid) Lee, Freddie Mercury (not hate, just not into it), Tom Waits. Tina Turner (most songs she wrecks). I like many so-called bad singers though.
I have always loved Joe Cocker. The way he performed on stage to his emotional and powerful voice. It brings chills down my spine everytime. But this song is my favorite from Joe...totally amazing!!
My brother and I had one thing in common "JOE COCKER". We saw him in concert in Sydney multiple times over the years and met him on some of those occasions. When my brother died last year I was devastated to say the least. We laid his ashes to this song. When Joe died in December it was like a double whammy for me. Rest in peace both of you xx
Bless you, Roxy, for sharing your story with us about your amazing brother. He will always be sitting on your shoulder, keeping you safe. When the time is right he will be your guide on the next part of your journey.
You're right about that!!! Nothing better!! I thought rock was done until grunge!! I've been enjoying listening to nervana!!💯👌 my grandson loves classic rock and now Nervana ✌️&♥️👌 be safe out there!!!
This song affected me on a very deep level of consciousness when I first heard this version in 1969. Joe sang it with so much soul. It seems obvious that he had a deep connection with these lyrics. R.I.P. Joe, you earned your wings.
Rick Byers You nailed it brother. Cocker sang with more soul than anyone I've ever heard or ever will hear in my entire life. I know you're rocking on for all times
The first time I saw Joe Cocker I thought he had something like epilepsy or of the like where your movement's are uncontrollable. I am sorry to say this but that's what I thought, I was also about 10 years old. 1971. But his voice is unmistakable and fantastic, You cannot mistake those grainy vocals. I have listened to everything he has done and never have been displeased. How could you be?
Joe Cocker had a way of making you feel a song deep in your soul. We lost a great talent when he left this world. His soulful voice could soothe and electrify anyone within the sound of it. You couldn’t help but stop whatever you were doing and listen or sing along. He was magnificent! RIP Mr. Cocker and thank you for the music.
I have been lucky to see you in 72 enjoying your tunes since 69...many shows, i cain't believe we lost you... you have been released love ya brother...
RIP I hope your final days and hours were full of love and that your heart was free of pain. May god welcome you home to make beautiful music with all that came before you. Thanx for all the love you left us with.
It's really amazing the clarity we had through all the haze and confusion back then. Maybe because we had peace and love in our hearts. Somehow we found grace. Too bad it never caught on. The man always has his way it seems of putting an end to anything that might actually be good for people, like not killing each other for starters. Things are far worse now than I could have ever imagined back then. Of course even back then I thought mankind was incapable of living in peace and harmony with each other and the earth.
Don't forget about the offspring of that generation. I was brought up with this music but wasn't around back then. Those days was probably the best period ever in music. Keep on truckin and keep on tryin. As much as the man trys to hold progression down its unstoppable.
When I get to heaven I hope to see Joe and. Ask him where his Woodstock boots are and just maybe sing back up miss you Joe but appreciate all you brought to this world
Que maravillosa canción Joe estremece el alma con esta versión lo mejor de los años 60 siempre amado respetado y extrañado por siempre Joe cocker descansa en paz hombre hermoso y noble ❤❤❤❤❤
Hace 50 años años atras.mi papa.se compro su 1er tv blanco y negro valbular..era lo mas!!!.. Una vez puso un recital Q era la 1ra q veia una cosa asi...mi papa me dijo..y ahora fijate ese cantante..mirale las botas..! La camara desendio y eran unas botas negras texanas con unas estrellas blancas a los costados.mi papa.me dijo.ese hombre es Joe Cocker..!!
You truly always were! One of my favorite twists of a Dylan song, truly from the heart...don't anyone these days sing like Joe. Love ya brother man, go with the Space choir...
No wonder Joe was the star of Woodstock. This makes every other version indifferent. Treasure this my friends cos you'll never hear better. RIP my friend & thank you.
No wonder he blew Woodstock away! Best blues/rock singer ever & he came from Sheffield where I've had many a great night out. RIP Joe you'll never be forgotten.
One best joe cocker song I enjoy listening to watch old tv show Magnum Pi with Tom Selleck episode. At about 2020 I had so many heart attacks I thought this song even keep play it. As told sister play song at my funeral if go just say goodbye to world and my love ones.
ciao grande Joe, non dimenticheremo mai te e le tue meravigliose canzoni, sarai sempre un grande, grazie per tutte le emozioni che ci hai regalato, ciao. fernando67
I'll have to admit that I was never a big fan of Joe, but...damn, he just nails this song! May the feasting be evermore joyous my brothuh, ya' done good...
What a cool version. of course. I feel this song so bad. Depression. All day long I WOULD be shouting so loud, crying out that I was framed...that THIS isn't ME. That I'm trapped in here, suffering for no good reason. So many years now. But the shout is frozen somewhere deep inside, I can't get to it. I can't word it. I would scream but it's like in a dream where you have no voice. Anyway, these songs give me strength. Songs like this and 'Try' by Janis Joplin that I was listening to earlier. and songs like 'How to Disappear Completely' by Radiohead. Thanks for posting this. Cheers to everyone listening.
Thanks brother/sister for uploading this. Cocker Woodstock was always "With a little help....". This is the song old Joe should be remembered for. R.I.P Joe welcome to the Band
Man those days will never exist again. I was so lucky to have lived and witnessed them
YES, YOU WERE.
When asked who was the greatest singer of his generation, Bob Dylan replied: “The greatest singer of my generation? Oh, Joe Cocker, I suppose! Here meets the greatest songwriter and the greatest singer of our generation.
And he wrote this …
Interesting you should say this.... 🤔
Then can you explain to me why Joe Cocker isn't in the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame? 😳
Dolly Parton - Yes
Joe Cocker.- No
I don't get it.
🤔 IMHO Neil Young wasn’t too shabby either going back to those good ‘ole days of music!
Miss him. ❤
joe cocker is the only man in the world who is able to cover bob dylan, bob marley and fucking beatles and still make it sound original and unique
Never thought of that!
Never heard of the "fucking beatles" - do you have Tourettes???
You have been released Brother Joe. Never has a person fulfilled his mission on earth as you have. You've brought joy to millions, you've touched the hearts of the masses. We owe you a debt of gratitude that we will never possibly be able to repay. Just hope you know how much you were loved and will always be loved. Go in Peace.
Julia S wonderful what you have written
As Lore said, you wrote a beautiful comment.x
Julia S. That was truly beautiful Julia. He gets me a little misty eyed. I left Alsace, France at 16, on my own. Would have loved to have made the Woodstock thing, but I was hit in Quang-Tri Vietnam. 20 August 69. PEACE-BROTHER.
Julia S your post made me cry. Xoxo
The most beautiful comment of all time. God bless Julia S and Joe Cocker.
Back in my dark stage stumbling through drugs booze and continous depression I was in a pub high and getting higher when I heard Joe Cocker. His voice and his rendition of cry me a river that day changed so much for me in 3 mths I was on the path to a new life 46 years later I still love every song Joe sang. Thanks brother for being my inspiration if there is a god I hope he or she looks after you bless you my main man Mr Joe Cocker.
Like he's singing your own heart out when you feel depressed
Music can transform us and save us, when we listen with our heart. Bless you for your journey of healing.
I'm older now but came back after my mother passed away. Thanks mum for your guidance. Love
the memory of loved ones is available to good guys, friend, take care of yourself
😢
Joe has never been recognized for his great music. RIP. ❤
never reckonized 😮
OF COURSE HE HAS!!!!!!!!!!¬!!!!!!!!!
The music of today doesn't compare with the music of the 60s,70s,and 80s. Thanks Joe Cocker for the amazing songs. R.I.P. in Rock n Roll Heaven.
This version of Joe Cocker just brings tears to my eyes,Rip Joe you are so missed.
So true although the 90s had some killer tunes too, I grew up on music from the 60s and started hating what it became in the early 2000s, even worked as a stage tech in the early 2000s up to just before the pandemic and seen it first hand go down hill but still seen some kick ass bands play even groups I grew up hearing made for an amazing experience in life far more than what the public schools have ever done for me.
peace and love to everyone reading this ❤❤❤☮☮
Pure heart and soul. Joe Cocker was a force of nature. RIP.
Best version ever. Nobody sings with more soul than Joe
The song is great. The music is very good. Cocker? I don't like his voice and I enjoy many singers with mediocre voices.
@@michaelmiller7160love it or hate it, nothing mediocre about Joe Cocker's voice
@@charliern Good correction and I don't mind Cocker here for the most part. I guess other voices I don't like to hear are Geddy (Daffy Duck on Acid) Lee, Freddie Mercury (not hate, just not into it), Tom Waits. Tina Turner (most songs she wrecks). I like many so-called bad singers though.
Was there ever a better interpreter of songs of genius than this genius? Dylan meets Cocker is a match made in heaven
More like Richard and Cocker are long lost brothers.
I have always loved Joe Cocker. The way he performed on stage to his emotional and powerful voice. It brings chills down my spine everytime. But this song is my favorite from Joe...totally amazing!!
No religion,political bs, what brings all really together is simply music as its really real, the way I feel!
My brother and I had one thing in common "JOE COCKER". We saw him in concert in Sydney multiple times over the years and met him on some of those occasions. When my brother died last year I was devastated to say the least. We laid his ashes to this song. When Joe died in December it was like a double whammy for me. Rest in peace both of you xx
blessings to you and may your heart be less heavy someday. it takes a really long time.
K. Dunagan Thank you so much.
All my heart for you Roxy!
Roxy41262 beautiful
Bless you, Roxy, for sharing your story with us about your amazing brother. He will always be sitting on your shoulder, keeping you safe. When the time is right he will be your guide on the next part of your journey.
Joe Cocker's version of Bob Dylan's "I Shall Be Released" is awesome. Brings tears to my eyes every time 💖
Rest in Peace Joe Cocker 💖💖
I don't know why, but some time's when I hear Joe sing I remember the painter Van Gogh ,both of them where great at they're job,r.i.p both,great souls
Modern music is nothing compared to that unforgettable generation of the 60s
you are certainly right new music stinks
Amen Brother, Amen!
You're right about that!!! Nothing better!! I thought rock was done until grunge!! I've been enjoying listening to nervana!!💯👌 my grandson loves classic rock and now Nervana ✌️&♥️👌 be safe out there!!!
It can never be again
It really wasn't anything like what it was like
The best version of this song Ive heard. The backing vocals is just marvelous.
+Vidar Larsen Yes yes -- whoa re the backing vocals? sound a bit like the band?
I agree. The backup vocals are amazing
I also LOVE LOVE Joe Cocker and ALL of his songs, but HAVE YOU listened to Marion WILLIAMS VERSION ?? SHE IS A-MAZING !!!
The live performance of Joe Cocker on this day is certainly one of the best ever done. Everything is great, perfectly mastered even the imperfections.
Just need Joe
No one can sing it like that. RIP Joe. Miss you.
This song affected me on a very deep level of consciousness when I first heard this version in 1969. Joe sang it with so much soul. It seems obvious that he had a deep connection with these lyrics. R.I.P. Joe, you earned your wings.
Rick Byers You nailed it brother. Cocker sang with more soul than anyone I've ever heard or ever will hear in my entire life. I know you're rocking on for all times
I don't think he ever sang a song without leaving the impression that it was about his life and probably the listener's!
Richard Manual, is Joe's Soul.
Joe was a legend , i'm sure he's in heaven.
Thanks for your music bro Joe. Rip Forever

Joe Cocker had a gift, he could take any song and make it sound like an original..greatly missed
I don't know if I have ever heard this version before.....what a gem!! Great vocal on a great song!!
Oh my god ... that brings me to my knees.
No words for how much I enjoy this voice.
Fly high Joe, RIP x
great comment xx
This song is immortal,goes straight to the heart
Joe Cocker had a way of making you feel a song deep in your soul. We lost a great talent when he left this world. His soulful voice could soothe and electrify anyone within the sound of it. You couldn’t help but stop whatever you were doing and listen or sing along. He was magnificent! RIP Mr. Cocker and thank you for the music.
RIP Brother Joe. You were the Original Air Guitarist (Pianist), and your so soulful voice are totally irreplaceable. Peace eternal.
I have been lucky to see you in 72 enjoying your tunes since 69...many shows, i cain't believe we lost you... you have been released
love ya brother...
HippieBob Brescia Exactly my experience with Joe ...
Have to come back again & again. This must be the best version by a mile. What a loss but at least we have fond memories of Joe.
Farewell Joe. You saved me in 1971. Never got to say thanks. Soon come. x
Whart a voice, what a sound, what a song, what a man .... never again. We will miss you.
Suonavo e cantavo questo brano nel lontano 1973 avevo 17 anni ora ne ho solo 70 ! Joe lo ascolto sempre mia musa ispiratrice grande ❤Joe Coker
RIP Mr Joe Cocker! You were released into Heaven!
RIP I hope your final days and hours were full of love and that your heart was free of pain. May god welcome you home to make beautiful music with all that came before you. Thanx for all the love you left us with.
Oh Joe you were so good.
Still listening to the best the UK has ever produced & it's a shame his stuff doesn't get played more. RIP Joe.
He surely was the best. And it's a shame too that joe hasn't played lot of his old songs for years.
I love this version! This song is GREAT no matter if it sings Joe Cocker or Bob Dylan! I love both!!!
TH-cam! Thank you for keeping the music alive! I could not have believed this possible just 15 years ago.
Sing with the angels, Joe, and make them smile. Just like you did for us.
Hello Joan how are you doing!!
RIP Joe - one of the great rock voices
RIP Lord Cocker. Today is the day. Love you brother.
It's really amazing the clarity we had through all the haze and confusion back then. Maybe because we had peace and love in our hearts. Somehow we found grace. Too bad it never caught on. The man always has his way it seems of putting an end to anything that might actually be good for people, like not killing each other for starters. Things are far worse now than I could have ever imagined back then. Of course even back then I thought mankind was incapable of living in peace and harmony with each other and the earth.
Thank you for more memories and your words give me and my old bones comfort.Peace Stan. It really was a time of man and lots of love.Again Thank you.
Here's to our old bones then Dean;) And the places they've taken us all these years. Forever young brother....Peace!
An amazing journey. It is nice to know there are a few of us left. I will match your Peace with a hug friend.
Don't forget about the offspring of that generation. I was brought up with this music but wasn't around back then. Those days was probably the best period ever in music. Keep on truckin and keep on tryin. As much as the man trys to hold progression down its unstoppable.
I went through The last of the Big Band Era to the Beatles. It was an effortless change. I still love the big bands and Chicago too.
No words can describe the feeling of our era. xxx
i get waves of goosebumps! more than 40 years later, this sounds very good still....classic joe cocker. great music era, the psychedelic 60s n 70s..
I hadn't heard this for a long time. This is just incredible!
When I get to heaven I hope to see Joe and. Ask him where his Woodstock boots are and just maybe sing back up miss you Joe but appreciate all you brought to this world
Hello Catherine how are you doing!!
simply brilliant. Haven't heard a better version till date . RIP Joe and thanks for the music
Judy mowatt! the less depressing version😂
it's supposed to be depressing! lol
Griffin Paul hmmm speak for yourself😊
Try Nina Simone's version, I'm not comparing them, both are magnificence. Cheers 😀
Absolutely brilliant cocker power the world
What a song and yet 21 folks gave this a thumbs down, lol. WTF do they give a thumbs up to I wonder?
They just don't know good music. Keep rocking Robert
Douchebags.. they lack taste, obviously
If they don’t like this, I can’t even fit in their numb heads to even imagine what horrible shit they would thumbs up.
They don't understand ,soul rock.
Just heard of the passing of Joe Cocker, RIP Joe, I'm sure your up where you belong
Thank you Joe Cocker for all the fabulous moments, feelings, emotions, you were and are one of the great!
A true star has passed on. R.I.P. Joe Cocker you brought a lot of pleasure to a lot of people.
Que maravillosa canción Joe estremece el alma con esta versión lo mejor de los años 60 siempre amado respetado y extrañado por siempre Joe cocker descansa en paz hombre hermoso y noble ❤❤❤❤❤
Hace 50 años años atras.mi papa.se compro su 1er tv blanco y negro valbular..era lo mas!!!..

Q era la 1ra q veia una cosa asi...mi papa me dijo..y ahora fijate ese cantante..mirale las botas..! La camara desendio y eran unas botas negras texanas con unas estrellas blancas a los costados.mi papa.me dijo.ese hombre es Joe Cocker..!!
Probably the best for me. No wonder he took Woodstock by storm. Best the UK ever produced by a mile.RIP my friend.
You have been released, Joe Cocker. Thanks for your incredible voice!
Joe Cocker was a soulful singer, and I have always loved his music
You truly always were! One of my favorite twists of a Dylan song, truly from the heart...don't anyone these days sing like Joe. Love ya brother man, go with the Space choir...
I remember driving around Berkeley and Oakland in a borrowed Chevy panel van with an 8 track of Woodstock back in the day.
One of my all time heroes! I don't ever remember my life without Joe Cocker in it. RIP Joe, you have been released!
No wonder Joe was the star of Woodstock. This makes every other version indifferent. Treasure this my friends cos you'll never hear better. RIP my friend & thank you.
Thanks Joe for all the memories for all these past years. You have been released so fly high friend ! R.I.P.
Joe Cocker at Woodstock one of the best live performances ever
I know you not suffering anymore surely thank you 🙏 for your music 🎶
Early Joe was the best. He sounded then as he should have sounded later. His voice had gone by then. Love this.
And now I weep !
Another beautiful soul leaves us. Getting older isn't so bad knowing I shared the same time with him. His "Bird on a Wire" has been my mantra.
No wonder he blew Woodstock away! Best blues/rock singer ever & he came from Sheffield where I've had many a great night out. RIP Joe you'll never be forgotten.
Loved his music. RIP Joe. You will be missed.
One best joe cocker song I enjoy listening to watch old tv show Magnum Pi with Tom Selleck episode. At about 2020 I had so many heart attacks I thought this song even keep play it. As told sister play song at my funeral if go just say goodbye to world and my love ones.

R.I.P. Philip Petriw.

wow Joe this song brings me way way back - those were the days
Goodbye joe,as true a gentleman as i have ever met.
Bye bye Joe...you will live on in our hearts....thank you so very much for the wonderful music...you gave your all every time
I believe that this is his best performance of this song, absolutely heart moving. Miss you Joe.
simply one of the best live performances by any artist at any time 8>}
that distinctive voice. from deep down . love it with all its vocal irregular ranges. Miss Mr. Cocker
Hello Amy how are you doing!!
ciao grande Joe, non dimenticheremo mai te e le tue meravigliose canzoni, sarai sempre un grande, grazie per tutte le emozioni che ci hai regalato, ciao. fernando67
Cocker owns this. I don't care what anyone says. And i love Manuel.
Amazing song. Amazing voice.
God has sung through you Joe..........
I'll have to admit that I was never a big fan of Joe, but...damn, he just nails this song! May the feasting be evermore joyous my brothuh, ya' done good...
Darren Newman Get the Mad Dogs And Englishmen album. Master Leon put the band together including himself. Leon and Joe....priceless.
This song is like a mass at Easter time, with Joe's voice linking heaven and earth.
Martien
RIP man...thanks for the great music...
The vibrato of his voice is....heartbreaking :-)
Nina Simone, Joe Cocker, and ofc Bob Dylan. Man, this song was touched only by the most legendary of legends. Beautiful stuff.
Joan Baez also.
@@jameshaner8084 i’ll have to check it out, thanks!
@@Gloth_Sang will check it out!
Just the most passionate singer ever
RIP, You gave us good music with such emotion as only you could have given, your music will live on!
When Joe sang ballads he was with such graceful soul.
Memories of my youth. Great then, great now. RIP Joe.
Rest in Peace. Thanks for all the wonderful concerts. Sat in the rain at Woodstock to hear your wonderful voice.
Some raw voiced angel will watch over you Joe. I'm sure of it. RIP
thank you for all the music Joe.
What a cool version. of course. I feel this song so bad. Depression. All day long I WOULD be shouting so loud, crying out that I was framed...that THIS isn't ME. That I'm trapped in here, suffering for no good reason. So many years now. But the shout is frozen somewhere deep inside, I can't get to it. I can't word it. I would scream but it's like in a dream where you have no voice. Anyway, these songs give me strength. Songs like this and 'Try' by Janis Joplin that I was listening to earlier. and songs like 'How to Disappear Completely' by Radiohead. Thanks for posting this. Cheers to everyone listening.
Damn I wish was able to be there but only being 14 years old it was impossible love the era. RIP Joe
that guitar. smooth n sweet.
cant help but to think that joe cocker and john belushi are having a couple of laughs right now.......thanx for all of it Joe...R I P
Thanks brother/sister for uploading this. Cocker Woodstock was always "With a little help....". This is the song old Joe should be remembered for.
R.I.P Joe welcome to the Band
I won't forget Joe.
magnificent, what a band The Grease Band!!!!!! Thanks old Joe!!!!!
