And they just wrote standard letters to people who started a campaign to get him inducted not too long before he died. As if he was a random nobody being suggested by a handful of ignorant claqueurs. The man had a career that's longer and had more ups and downs than half a dozen other artists taken together.
Joe had a sad life in his younger rears. Was a hardcore alcoholic. The later got sober, married and lived a beautiful life. I was so happy for him! I love joe!
I once looked out my back window and witnessed a whirlwind of butterflies taking place in my back yard. I had never seen anything like it before or since, nor have I ever heard anyone else describe such a thing. It was literally a vortex, a little mini-tornado of living things spinning around just for me. There was no one else around, and the thought of taking my eyes off of it, even long enough to grab my phone or a camera never crossed my mind. I just froze in the moment, trying to allow my brain time to take it all in. That was kind of what being at a Joe Cocker concert was like. He was a force of nature.
Hey, Jamel - You hit the nail on the head when you said “No cell phones. Memories are all up here.”🧠🧠🧠 This is the ultimate concert experience. See the performer, connect through your heart ❤️💜❤️ and soul, feel it in your bones 🦴 🦴🦴, feel it for the rest of your life. No cell phone filters or phony “lighter” pictures. Nothing like waiving a match or lighter until your fingers burn. No “official” videos then, but bootlegs always easily available. PLEEAASSEE check out Van Morrison soon. I see lots of people requesting Van. You will love him. Best song: “Caravan.” Now I’m going to fold laundry hearing Joe Cocker and Van Morrison in my head. Peace/Out - 😈🌹😈
So insightful of you to get that, and the fact that he sings with such passion with his whole body-it builds up in that barrel chest and fights it's way out of his mouth-he's amazing!
Joe Cocker was a very sensitive guy who dealt with bouts of depression. His pathos comes from being in touch with some deep stuff. Shout out to Billy Preston for writing this beautiful song ❤️
Whenever Joe sang a ballad I always worried about what he might've been through in his personal life..because in between lines, when his face was still, you could see pain there. Not those grimaces when he sang but the stillness in between.💙
@@jamelakajamal Thank you so much. I love the passion you show for Joe. He really was and for those who've actually listened to him. A one of a kind sound.
Yeah, that was before all the cops realized that they could just up and beat someone to death for the sheer joy of beating someone to death and have absolutely nothing happen to them.
Met this "Beautiful" man in '86 with only two other people in the room and got to go to his "You Can Leave Your Hat On" video shoot. Such a great experience for me. I will never forget every part of that afternoon. He was so polite and charming. R.I.P. Joe!
We have a musician in Denmark who is dead now he was around the 90’s so that’s was a very good Farrell.. but he said at one point that people who got talent was mostly alright people and such but people without could be giant jerks.. so it’s sounds like it’s fits Mr Cocker right.. he was a very talented and nice person..
Jamel, Been a musician a long time and have seen many,many concerts. I was living in Vegas and went to see Joe Cocker. They started playing the tune "Unchain My Heart" and I witnessed a crowd reaction I've never seen before. It was thrilling to see the sudden excitement and effect it had on the audience ! What a tune. Joe was meant to sing this one. Yuma,AZ.
Like I said before; you've got an old soul. You appreciate the finer aspects. "No cell phones, all in the memory". In other words, living the experience in real time.
Joe Cocker one of the best of all time Jamal you’re a cool dude you are doing the world a good deed by sharing all this beautiful music that everyone should be enjoying
I was so lucky to see him perform 19 or 20 yrs ago. 40 yrs. before we worried how long he'd be with us. A tidier & healthier looking Joe could still sing you to beyond! Thank you, Joe, for all the magic!
I am 46 years young and I grew up listening to a lot of music. The 80's where known for one hit wonders. It has been so fun seeing your reaction to some great artist. Good music should take you on a journey and make you feel. So much talent over the decades long before our sound guys and tech guys came into play. Most of those bands just got together had a great time playing when they were hot they were hot. Thank you for sharing with another generation what music was like before MTV. Most of these songs I can remember hearing for my first time. Thanks man for keeping music alive. I need to start listening to more music. They just dont make songs like they used to.
Autotune is a blight! It kills any humanity or soul in a track. Same goes for quantising everything to death and cut-and-paste production. Give me the truth of a performance, with all the rough edges, every time.
@@DDubyah17 You must be younger than me. It has nothing to do with how bands perform It is how they sound to the listener. LPs had a much more raw and natural sound than CDs, just like singing did before Autotune. Anyone over 50 will agree with that ...
M K ah, sorry mate. My bad. I misunderstood you. Thought you were dismissing my thoughts about autotune as a complaint from a Luddite. I actually agree with you. (I’m 47, so not much in it :))
Yes our music was awesome it will never be music like that AGAIN I’m 65 and our music was so good the commercials play some . Listen to Carry On My Wayward Son by Kansas
Don't know if you've done this song already, but he does a great cover of the Traffic song "Feeling Alright" Like everything he does it's full of passion and see him wear the song.
I played the acoustic guitar version of this song for my daughter when she was 1 day old. It was one of the most beautiful things I'll always remember.
He's putting his whole being into it. That's why it's so good. If he didn't move his body like that and have those facial expressions, it just wouldn't sound the same.
Joe sings from his soul. That's why he moves the way he does (did, R.I.P, Mr. Cocker). His mouth was not big enough to let the Soul pour out. It comes out from every cell in his body.
It's not just that the music is superior but the live performances by these artists back that up. Joe Cocker put everything into the song. Something you just don't get today.
I bought this album for this song back in the day. Love your comment "shout out to the old days", ha, "before cell phones and everyone was listening." We were! 🎵
This is blues/soul wrapped into one and that is what Joe Cocker brings us. Leon Russell is the one to thank for bringing Joe to the front line so listen to Mad Dog and Englishman and you will enjoy Joe Cocker, one of the greats by far....RIP Joe Cocker & Leon Russell as well...
The best Band ...He's ever had by His Side , This was in Germany ( Rockpalast in Berlin ) ... watch ' Wasted Years ' that Night ( I guess was '83 / or '84 ... can't remember now) ... heartbreaking . Best ever written Love Song ... He made it His own , He got it... never will be forgotten . Cancer sucks and take the best one most
That was 'The Rockpalast' / Rockpalace in Germany.With the best Band he ever had by his side . And btw the best Love Song ever . It was like being reborn for his own second career. The German Fans always loved Him , his Incredible Voice was brocken that time of course what the Music Industrie did to him in the early day's after Woodstock . They took the money , he had to do so many Concerts in a row for nearly no payed for , because the rights for all his performences was on their side . They left him with his alcohol problems on the Bulky Waste . I've bought the Video from that concert , there's a song called ' wasted Years ' that he performed , it's like a mirrow of his life ...it makes me cry . What a lost . Thx again to his wife ,who saved his Soul and gave him all the Love he deserved .
Had the pleasure of seeing Joe Cocker at the Quaker Rock Festival 1969 in Philadelphia. Also that night on the bill was BB King , Santana and Janis Joplin - what a show. Good times good memories.
A legend. Pain and anguish born of years of drugs and alcohol and who knows what else, and he turned it into music! You’re right, Jamel, Joe never held back.
I live in Western Colorado, about 2 hours from Joe's Ranch in Crawford. Every year he and Pam would put on a huge yard sale at their gorgeous house, all to benefit kids in the local area. One year I scored a pair of black Cole Haan Nike Air dress shoes that Joe wore in a couple of concerts in Australia and New Zealand. They are my pride and joy, and I wear them often. We also used to see Joe here and there in Paonia, the closest town to the Ranch. He was just a normal, local dude.....We lost a lot when Joe passed. RIP my man......
Jamel -- Shout out to you! I'm an old white guy but I love watching your videos and your reaction to artists you know little about. Keep up the great work!! I was lucky enough to see Joe Cocker live in 1981 and he was fantastic! R.I.P. Joe !!
Remember Steve Winwood !! Playing drums and guitar at 8 years old ! Blue-eyed Soul ! Famous famous famous and his music is full of joy, mostly.There are drums ! Valerie, While You See a Chance, Higher Love ! Thank you for sharing you !!
I had the honor of hearing Joe live at the Cotillion Ball Room. Small place (500 people maybe) but it was packed. You could have heard a pin drop when he sang this. People were crying by the time he finished.
The fact he's not in the rocknroll Hof is a crime
me an mm eye om spot on. It’s a hand job.
me an mm eye om I see what you did there... lol
What a joke, but shit bands like the Sex Pistols and Kiss are in. Cocker is the white Ray Charles, hes amazing.
And they just wrote standard letters to people who started a campaign to get him inducted not too long before he died. As if he was a random nobody being suggested by a handful of ignorant claqueurs. The man had a career that's longer and had more ups and downs than half a dozen other artists taken together.
I agree 100%.
I'll say it again. Cocker's voice "scrapes your soul to the bone."
Well said my friend!
And one that raw bone is exposed, it starts to crunch that bone down
Joe “Freaking” Cocker!!!! Pure vocal and emotional sincerity!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Way ta say it brah!👍💪
Indeed!
Unfortunately dead
He's not perfect...but he gives you everything he has ... awesome
Brotha Joe was a True English Soul Singer 👍🏽
I just love that a young man like Jamel gets it.
exactly, me too, because nowadays nobody knows all these greats
His instrument is his voice and it takes his whole body to play it.
Couldn’t agree more, Freddie used his body & soul the same
Perfectly said!
If this doesn't bring a tear to your eye, you aren't human!
He believed and felt every word he was singing.
You could see the emotion wrung out in his body and on his face because he Did feel every word.
Joe had a sad life in his younger rears. Was a hardcore alcoholic. The later got sober, married and lived a beautiful life. I was so happy for him! I love joe!
Joe 's singing was straight from the soul, and involved every part of his body.
Brings tears to my eyes, especially when thinking about those I sing this to in my heart - my babies- all grown up now.
Me too! I sent him, Patty LaBelle n Billy Preston at the Apollo to my daughter on her birthday.
I have a special needs son with CP that I play and sing this song for and he just loves it.
Thats beautiful ❤️
They played this song at my wedding as I walked down the isle. Been married 43 years!
I would have cried all the way.
That’s so awesome! Congratulations!!! I’ve been married for 42. :))
I sang this to my first born
baby boy 1976 blessed
Excellent choice.If I ever did it again,mine would be Etta James,At Last
I have always thought he was so sexy in a slightly creepy way.
I seen and heard this many times but this time was emotional. Wow! 66 year old cowboy tears.
XOXO cowboy 💙💙
No shame in that, I have amazing memories growing up listening to this song.
It still gets to me at 47.
Hey I’m 61 and crying my eyes out. God I miss him. ♥️

Hey, Jamel -
You hit the nail on the head when you said
“No cell phones. Memories are all up here.”🧠🧠🧠
This is the ultimate concert experience.
See the performer, connect through your heart ❤️💜❤️ and soul, feel it in your bones
🦴 🦴🦴, feel it for the rest of your life.
No cell phone filters or phony “lighter” pictures.
Nothing like waiving a match or lighter until your fingers burn.
No “official” videos then, but bootlegs always easily available.
PLEEAASSEE check out Van Morrison soon.
I see lots of people requesting Van. You will love him.
Best song: “Caravan.”
Now I’m going to fold laundry hearing Joe Cocker and Van Morrison in my head.
Peace/Out -
😈🌹😈
Into The Mystic or Wild Night 👍🏻
So insightful of you to get that, and the fact that he sings with such passion with his whole body-it builds up in that barrel chest and fights it's way out of his mouth-he's amazing!
“The Letter” another cover of a hit song that he made his. The live version with Leon Russell.
Also "She Came in Through The Bathroom Window"
Oh God yes. Leon Russell.. amazing!
Great song!
Leon Russell also gave Joe Cocker Delta Lady. Sadly they had a falling out and split.
OMG.. Leon Russel another one of my favorites! Back to the island!!
Joe Cocker was a very sensitive guy
who dealt with bouts of depression.
His pathos comes from being in touch with some deep stuff. Shout out to Billy Preston for writing this beautiful song ❤️
I did not know Preston wrote this...I learned something this day...thank you.. take it from the top....
i thought the beach boys drummer wrote it
and Bruce Fisher ! this is such a beautiful song and Joe Cocker is the best to perform it !
Whenever Joe sang a ballad I always worried about what he might've been through in his personal life..because in between lines, when his face was still, you could see pain there. Not those grimaces when he sang but the stillness in between.💙
Listen to "You can leave your hat on - Joe Cocker" he's such a great artist. I can't believe he's gone now.
He has that reaction of dude and it is awesome
👍🏾 th-cam.com/video/i2DC5Nd1h1w/w-d-xo.html
@@jamelakajamal Thank you so much. I love the passion you show for Joe. He really was and for those who've actually listened to him. A one of a kind sound.
La primera banda que la interpretó fué Three Dog Night.
I saw joe cocker in Lowell mass in the 80's after about 3 hours even the cops just sat back and enjoyed the show
Yeah, that was before all the cops realized that they could just up and beat someone to death for the sheer joy of beating someone to death and have absolutely nothing happen to them.
That's one of those songs that will still be played in a 100 years!

There will never be another like Joe Cocker. ✌🌍🎵
This is the best love song of all time. IMHO Every time I hear it, Joe's raw power and breathtaking sincerity bring tears of joy. Best love song ever.
Yes yes yes, he sang with his whole body, you got that right. He was truly a gift to this earth. RIP brother Joe.🤘
This is 1980 on Halloween in Germany. He could still give it his all when I saw him in 94 at Woodstock. RIP Joe🙌🏽
Nobody has ever sung a song with that kind of emotion and feeling..
25 years just past... This was/is our wedding song. Still beautiful to me.
Back in the day at a concert, if you loved the song, everyone would light their cigarette lighter. It was magical.

A voice like no other. He was an icon from the 60"s, made his big break at Woodstock, I love the man and the pure feeling he put into song. Amen Joe.

His rendition of The Letter is one of the few covers I like even better than the original.
Yes amazing version!! As a young girl I had every Box Tops album. One song to check out I Met Her In Church. 💙💙💙
Joe is amazing
You REEEALLLLLY NEED to hear him do "I Put A Spell On You"!!! OMG!!!!
I played the acoustic guitar version of this song for my daughter when she was 1 day old. It was one of the most beautiful things I'll always remember.
Check out Joe On Saturday night live with John Belushi doing an impersonation of them it’s very funny and a great performance too
Joe Cocker gods gift to the world, absolutely committed performance and a great soulful singer........
He's putting his whole being into it. That's why it's so good. If he didn't move his body like that and have those facial expressions, it just wouldn't sound the same.
That was a moving performance. Thanks Jamel for bringing this one to us.
I love Joe Cocker pure musical genius
Every performance from Joe Cocker was a unique event. He lived every song for the first time
I sang this song to my son when he was a baby. (He's 31 now.)
Thank you for your daily uplift. It is a true gift. You fill my heart, sir.
Love Joe Cocker, R. I. P. ❤️
The best thing about a Joe Cocker concert is you watched a performer leave everything on the stage. ✌️
"This man did not skip no days" Awesome comment!
You display a lot of wisdom, Jamel.
Love Joe Cocker, grew up to his amazing voice
He brings me to tears. I always wanted to see him. Love, love, love him!
One of the Very Best!!! He touches your soul!!!❤️
Joe sings from his soul. That's why he moves the way he does (did, R.I.P, Mr. Cocker). His mouth was not big enough to let the Soul pour out. It comes out from every cell in his body.
Joe sings with his whole body, heart and soul. It's all on the line.
A beautiful song! He sings it with true emotion. One of my all-time favs. Thanks Jamel. Keep up with your awesome reactions.
Check out the version Joe does with his Hero Ray Charles, brings a year to your eye, love the channel too!!!
It's not just that the music is superior but the live performances by these artists back that up. Joe Cocker put everything into the song. Something you just don't get today.

Nothing to hide behind with this simplicity, tempo...Joe's voice and his emotion always evokes emotion in the listener. Great performer!

This is blues/soul wrapped into one and that is what Joe Cocker brings us. Leon Russell is the one to thank for bringing Joe to the front line so listen to Mad Dog and Englishman and you will enjoy Joe Cocker, one of the greats by far....RIP Joe Cocker & Leon Russell as well...
All the members of Cockers band said he was the nicest guy to work for. He never had any ill words with anyone. They said he was a sweet heart.
Joe Cocker was like Elvis and Willie Nelson in that whatever song he did it became his.😎 there will NEVER be another.
Van Morrison Into the Mystic would be a good one
Van Morrison is always good,at any time of the day or night.
Yes! It's a great one!!!!
I freaking love Van M.

Joe Cocker can tear your heart out; and that band is perfection.
The best Band ...He's ever had by His Side ,
This was in Germany ( Rockpalast in Berlin ) ... watch ' Wasted Years ' that Night ( I guess was '83 / or '84 ... can't remember now) ... heartbreaking .
Best ever written Love Song ... He made it His own , He got it... never will be forgotten .
Cancer sucks and take the best one most
That was 'The Rockpalast' / Rockpalace in Germany.With the best Band he ever had by his side . And btw the best Love Song ever .
It was like being reborn for his own second career.
The German Fans always loved Him , his Incredible Voice was brocken that time of course what the Music Industrie did to him in the early day's after Woodstock .
They took the money , he had to do so many Concerts in a row for nearly no payed for ,
because the rights for all his performences was on their side .
They left him with his alcohol problems on the Bulky Waste .
I've bought the Video from that concert , there's a song called ' wasted Years ' that he performed , it's like a mirrow of his life ...it makes me cry .
What a lost .
Thx again to his wife ,who saved his Soul and gave him all the Love he deserved .
Man, that just does something to you when you watch him sing. He was so beautifully unique.
You cannot listen to Joe Cocker do this song without shedding a tear.
Joe was great I'm glad I got to see him twice live before he passed away
With a little help from my friends live in 1969 Woodstock. The Letter is gold also.
I always see this song as a back-handed compliment.....
YOU. ARE. SO. BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!

(to me, that is. Can't speak for anyone else...)
He sings like singing is a martial art - his whole body is in tune with the delivery.
Had the pleasure of seeing Joe Cocker at the Quaker Rock Festival 1969 in Philadelphia. Also that night on the bill was BB King , Santana and Janis Joplin - what a show. Good times good memories.
Jamal, I don't know you, but I delight in watching you experience so much of the great music I grew up with! Cheers, Brother!
"The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" is a beautiful song that he does, too. I saw him "live". I'm old. I saw a lot of great performers.
One of my favorites is "When the Night Comes" it is such a great song! His voice is just so soulful! What a talent! ❤️
Joe cocker was one of a kind with a soulful gritty voice who was a great passionate performer miss him like him u rock
He was able to transport his raw emotion to our ears like very few knew how. He was the TRUTH before we knew what that was.
excellent song to make love ... Joe Cocker, excellent ally for the love of a whole generation.
greetings from Argentina.
Eric Clapton - Wonderful Tonight
A legendary ballad just like this one.
the piano player in his band is awesome too. plays just as soulful as Joe sings IMO.
I miss Joe so much, his face in this performance almost looks like Christ. What a wonderful human being he was..
A legend. Pain and anguish born of years of drugs and alcohol and who knows what else, and he turned it into music! You’re right, Jamel, Joe never held back.

On the studio version there's a part where it sounds like he chokes back a sob.
His whole heart is there!!
