Amber's chair dancing is awesome. I could totally picture her (especially with the long hair she's currently sporting) in a long hippy skirt, a flower painted on one cheek and peace sign on the other, bare foot and dancing freely (as most flower power children did back in the day) in the field at Woodstock. 😊
I have to recommend "The Letter" for your next one. The piano, the horns, the JOE. That's all I gotta say. Please don't wait ten months before you give us some more Cocker!
The version from "Mad Dogs & Englishmen" is fire! Rita Coolidge, Donna Washburn, Claudia Lennear and others provide the backing vocals, Jim Price launches into a bebop trumpet solo that Bobby Keys picks up and carries forward in a sax solo for the ages. Sweet!
Leon Russell organized and played the ‘Mad Dogs and Englishman’ tour. Leon Russell was also called the fifth Beatle. He played on the Let It Be rooftop video.
This was Joe’s most iconic song in my opinion! No one sounds like Joe Cocker. Jennifer Warren convince him to record a song with her “Up where we belong”. It was a hit even though the pair seemed like total opposites in music genre. But the juxtaposition of his wild raspy voice and her sweet, angelic voice really worked. 👍❤️
Per Songfacts: Dave Mason wrote this song and recorded it with his group Traffic in 1968. Included on their self-titled second album, it was released as a single but barely nicked the charts, bubbling under at #123 in America and not placing at all in the UK. The following year, Joe Cocker recorded what has become the most popular version of the song, taking it to #69 in the US with a more upbeat rendition. He included it in his rain-soaked set at Woodstock.
I know many of the songs you react to, but there's nothing like watching you get ready to play something, and knowing you're about to change forever. A new sound.
I knew the song just from the first couple notes, and this is just a feel good song!!! I vote for "She Came In Through the Bathroom Window" too, for the next song. Heck, just the title of that one should get it on the list! :) ♥
@@jasonremy1627 Absolutely! He took Ringo's boring ditty in 4/4 With a Little Help From my Friends and created a heavy 3/4 rock version, which blew Woodstock away.
From Wikipedia, piano played by Artie Butler, guitar - Dave Bennett Cohen, bass - Carol Kaye (legend), drums - Paul Humphrey, percussion- Laudir de Oliveria (band Chicago) backing vocals Merry Clayton, Brenda and Patrice Holloway
Joe Cocker was not only Britain's top soul singer, but you could make a case, that he was one of the world's top soul singers. Now Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye, and Wison Pickett , along with Sam and Dave. Joe was right there with those folks.
I bought two of his albums in the 70s: Jamaica Say You Will, and I Can Stand the Rain...and Civilized Man in the 80s. My neighbor who is 74 and from Germany got to see him 5 times! so jealous. Other songs of his you will like: You Are So Beautiful, and I Think It's Going to Rain Today.
Yay for more Joe Cocker. Just a great song. Written by Dave Mason from the British Rock band Traffic, it was first released in 1968. Joe's vocal are one of a kind. Unmistakable. Next, "She Came In Through The Bathroom Window". It will amaze you. Loved your reactions. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️ 🇨🇦 🇨🇦
Joe Cocker puts his whole soul into his vocals. Mary Clayton is one of the background singers on this track, she is fantastic. Mary also put is all on the line when she sings (example: her duet with Mick Jagger on Gimme Shelter). Like Joan Baez, Joe was always able to get top musicians to play on this albums. 🎤🎤🎹😎
I married young 18 and my wife wanted to go to a local carnival in our community in Florida. We both were absolutely stunned as we were walking by those carnival booths and noticed a full band was set up in a small empty area standing on nothing more than sheets of plywood for the stage. All of a sudden Joe Cocker comes out of nowhere, and starts belting out this song. Had no idea Joe Cocker was throwing a FREE concert, but there he stood right in front of us at eye level at a local carnival. I'll never forget it as long as I live. They kicked butt too.
He was active from 1961 to 2014. I was born in 1961 so I was literally raised on his music. My Dad would come home with his music and I was just like oh my God This guy is unbelievable.
In addition to his other talents, Joe Cocker had the talent of making songs written by other people HIS song. Watching a live version of this is even better.
By the way, the "morocca's" that you heard is actually a "vibra-slap". It's a Latin instrument with a wooden base, a metal bar and a plastic ball on the end. It makes that incredible "dddddddddd" sound. I listen to this song so often because of that, especially because it comes in on the up beat.
His cover of The Letter is a must listen and yes it’s got his signature yell ! and on a softer side his cover of Darling Be Home Soon is another one I promise y’all will love
Try lsitening to Joe Cocker - The moons a harsh mistress. Its short but powerful. Full of feeling and mood. Joe was one of the best things to come out of Sheffield. My old man saw him live before he was famous, when he did the club circuits in the area. Wish i had the same chance.
We went to see The Who and Joe Cocker opened for them. Joe was so damn good I was like ‘I don’t even need to see The Who, Joe put on such a great show!!
He opened Woodstock 2 in 94 with that song and Had the grunge and head bangers flipping out.then he said,see you in 2019.sadly he never made Woodstock 50th anniversary
Check out "You Can Leave Your Hat On". His live stage performance in Dortmund will blow your socks off. And the sax player he has is off the charts good too!
Probably my two favorite songs of Mr. Cocker are his two covers of Beatle's songs: "She Came In Through The Bathroom Window" and "With a Little Help from My Friends". But all of his music is fantastic...
Love all Joe Cocker songs and this is my favorite one of his. I watch all your videos and post on some, so keep up the great work. It's fun watching you introduce to the many branches of music.
He's known for doing great versions of Beatles songs. One of them, With a Little Help From My Friends, you already reacted to. The other one is She Came in Through the Bathroom Window.
John Belushi, who you know from the Blues Brothers as well as an original cast member from Saturday Night Live, does a great impression of Joe Cocker. In fact he has performed Joe Cocker songs in character in SNL several times. Here is a link to John Belushi and Joe Cocker singing Feelin' Alright together as a duet, again with John doing his impression of Joe: th-cam.com/video/-6m1M5p6Kqk/w-d-xo.html
Joe Cocker was so much fun to watch... John Belushi did a spot on impression of him!! John and Joe sang a song together on SNL back in the day...and John’s imitation was more like Joe than Joe himself!!❤️🎶
You need to just take the leap and watch the movie Mad Dogs and Englishmen with Joe Cocker, Leon Russell and many of the band members that recorded Layla and All Things Must Pass. You can see Joe's songs on TH-cam with the Mad Dogs and they are all exceptional!
Saw Cocker at Fillmore East with the Mad dog and Englishman tour. So lucky to have grown up in the 60s and 70s .Affordable concerts one unbelievable groups.
I saw Joe Cocker perform this song in concert in 1969. I knew the song but I didn't know who Joe Cocker was at the time. He was a new artist. Nevertheless, he blew my mind.
Joe Cocker mostly covered other peoples songs , but always made them his own with his instantly recognizable voice and style. He was friends with and covered quite a few Beatles songs.
Dave Mason wrote this song and it was first recorded by the band Traffic... he's someone you need to hear as well. Joe does a great job with it! His best from this era is his cover of the Beatles "With a Little Help from My Friends".... he uniquely makes it his own!
If you want a great sampling of Joe Cocker, check out the "Mad Dogs and Englishmen" double album and the film of that tour. One of the very best of the rock and roll concert films.
Amber's chair dancing is awesome. I could totally picture her (especially with the long hair she's currently sporting) in a long hippy skirt, a flower painted on one cheek and peace sign on the other, bare foot and dancing freely (as most flower power children did back in the day) in the field at Woodstock. 😊
...and don't forget that awesome, beautiful smile..
Jay & Amber, you'll love Joe's "Unchain My Heart", "The Letter" and "She Came In Through the Bathroom Window" !!!!
All 3 are Great! But "The Letter" is my favorite.
Yep always liked the bathroom window. LOL
And “You can leave your hat on”
"She came in through the bathroom window" is my favourite but all his songs are great. Got to see him in the late 70s in Chattanooga Tennessee 😎😎😎🔥🔥🔥
@@msmrsro great song/video, they reacted to that one though - th-cam.com/video/cNkxXfYTMTg/w-d-xo.html
Delta Lady is an awesome tune. Can’t believe Joe isn’t in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
He should be!!
Ditto.
The RRHOF is too busy inducting people who don't belong there
He rejected it
The Place is a joke.
I have to recommend "The Letter" for your next one. The piano, the horns, the JOE. That's all I gotta say. Please don't wait ten months before you give us some more Cocker!
They need to react to a block of the same artist / group in a row to get a better feel / spectrum of the artist's talent and sound.
I agree - "Baby wrote me a letter" is a gas!
The version from "Mad Dogs & Englishmen" is fire! Rita Coolidge, Donna Washburn, Claudia Lennear and others provide the backing vocals, Jim Price launches into a bebop trumpet solo that Bobby Keys picks up and carries forward in a sax solo for the ages. Sweet!
Not just the JOE. There's the LEON. The relationship between Joe and Leon Russell on Mad Dogs and Englishmen was so much.
@@jimeiden2360 Totally agree.
The guy on piano is Leon Russell. He is a library of great music unto himself, especially from this era.
And he's from Tulsa!
Actually, it looks like Artie Butler played piano on this, the studio version. Leon Russell played on the live version.
RIP Joe, and Leon.
Leon Russell organized and played the ‘Mad Dogs and Englishman’ tour. Leon Russell was also called the fifth Beatle. He played on the Let It Be rooftop video.
@@mrickle that was Billy Preston. I don’t think Leon ever played with the Beatles..but he played with everyone else
That's your homegrown boy on the piano!💯 The one and only Mr. Leon Russell!😁❤✌
This was Joe’s most iconic song in my opinion! No one sounds like Joe Cocker. Jennifer Warren convince him to record a song with her “Up where we belong”. It was a hit even though the pair seemed like total opposites in music genre. But the juxtaposition of his wild raspy voice and her sweet, angelic voice really worked. 👍❤️
"An Officer and a Gentleman" from which the song "love lift us up" came, would be a great addition to the movie reactions.
Jennifer Warnes
Nah I think his most iconic was his cover of With a Little Help From My Friends
@@nickbarber3315 You could be right. 🫢👍🙃
@@docbearmb Oops…my bad.👍🙃

Dig into some Dave Mason tunes.
Only You Know And I Know
th-cam.com/video/Cn0tnfv0KCc/w-d-xo.html
I had the pleasure of meeting Dave Mason back in the 60s/70s and I I love Traffic.
Dave Mason: "We Just Disagree" is a must listen, and "Only You Know and I Know" is phenomenal.
I much prefer Mason's version. It's different in its rendering and tempo.
I know many of the songs you react to, but there's nothing like watching you get ready to play something, and knowing you're about to change forever. A new sound.
I knew the song just from the first couple notes, and this is just a feel good song!!!
I vote for "She Came In Through the Bathroom Window" too, for the next song.
Heck, just the title of that one should get it on the list! :)
♥
Just about any song on the Mad Dogs and Englishmen album
Joe is the only person who did the Beatles better than the Beatles.
🤣🤣🤣
Bathroom Window goes off! Excellent suggestion my friend :)
@@jasonremy1627 Absolutely! He took Ringo's boring ditty in 4/4 With a Little Help From my Friends and created a heavy 3/4 rock version, which blew Woodstock away.
in sixties terminology a"A MIND BLOWER" great song" my favourite joe cocker song love the reaction. ; )

"You Are So Beautiful." A love ballad, very pretty. His gritty voice really makes for a unique sound on such a gentle song. My favorite of his.
Written by Billy Preston, and Joe sang it at Billy's funeral.
One of my favorites. I vote for this next.
@@bethcrumpton476 I did not know that. That's wonderful. Thank you. How did he keep a dry eye.
Absolute amazing pick!
Tip...if it's a song Joe Cocker does and it's on the live album Mad Dogs and Englishmen...then play that version.....they are the best.
One of the best live albums ever.
Leon Russell was so influential in creating Joe Cocker’s vibe.
Joe Cocker, "Delta Lady". Thanks.
You guys need to watch when Cocker appeared on SNL and John Belushi came out and did his Joe Cocker impersonation.
Yes! Classic!
You beat me to it!
That was one of the best SNL moments ever.
Totally agree!
"When the night comes" is a good one of his too.
"Hitchcock Railway" is another stellar groove from Joe Cocker, IMHO. Cheers J. & A.
Please play “She came in through the bathroom window” Great song! That was one of the first songs of Joe Cocker that I bought!
Another great one by Joe Cocker is "The Letter." A lot of great versions on TH-cam including one with Leon Russell
UNCHAIN MY HEART ! ! Joe owns most anything he sings, but UNCHAIN MY HEART (with Clarence Clemmons on the sax) is a masterpiece.
RIP MR CLARENCE CLEMMONS❣️❣️
The video in the bar is a must see.
Yes
Joe Cocker was not only Britain's top soul singer, but you could make a case, that he was one of the world's top soul singers. Now Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye, and Wison Pickett
, along with Sam and Dave. Joe was right there with those folks.
He kills "Unchain my heart" !!!!!!!!
I bought two of his albums in the 70s: Jamaica Say You Will, and I Can Stand the Rain...and Civilized Man in the 80s. My neighbor who is 74 and from Germany got to see him 5 times! so jealous. Other songs of his you will like: You Are So Beautiful, and I Think It's Going to Rain Today.
A shout out to the backing singers.Joe was so loyal to them that he spent his entire career with the same ladies.
Yay for more Joe Cocker. Just a great song. Written by Dave Mason from the British Rock band Traffic, it was first released in 1968.
Joe's vocal are one of a kind. Unmistakable. Next, "She Came In Through The Bathroom Window". It will amaze you. Loved your reactions. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️ 🇨🇦 🇨🇦

Fyi, her name was spelled Merry.

Wow!
That's cool
That is such a cool story!
This was from Mad Dogs and Englismen, fyi a former Tulsa native was playing the piano. Yep Leon Russell was a part of this tour.
Joe Cocker was a great person! Got the pleasure of meeting him in western Colorado!
Joe is a fucking beast. One of the greatest vocalists of all time.
One of his hits is "When the Night Comes". It's from his later years so the yell is raw and gritty as sandpaper.
He was active from 1961 to 2014. I was born in 1961 so I was literally raised on his music. My Dad would come home with his music and I was just like oh my God This guy is unbelievable.
This is the song that introduces me to Joe Cocker. As mentioned earlier, he does a lot of covers, but he always does them justice.
One of the best cover singers in his unique style.
Mine too! First song of Joe Cocker that I bought!
The person who played the piano is the amazing Leon Russell. He is from Oklahoma too! You should absolutely check him out!
"Unchain my Heart" is another great Joe Cocker song
Check out Joe Cocker covering the Beatles “she came in through the bathroom window”
Joe Cocker is just amazing. I’m sure you must’ve heard a lot of his songs because he has so many wonderful ones. Love love love Joe Cocker.💜
In addition to his other talents, Joe Cocker had the talent of making songs written by other people HIS song. Watching a live version of this is even better.
Joe Cocker was simply a conduit to the essence of music.
This Traffic cover is probably my favorite Joe tune!
I always loved his live version of Delta Lady. Just fantastic!
When the man sings soul pours out of him ! Amazing man he was !
You guys are on a roll tonight.
Love this song. The soul, the singing, the piano just makes you feel so good.
By the way, the "morocca's" that you heard is actually a "vibra-slap". It's a Latin instrument with a wooden base, a metal bar and a plastic ball on the end. It makes that incredible "dddddddddd" sound. I listen to this song so often because of that, especially because it comes in on the up beat.
I love anything from Joe Cocker! "You are so Beautiful" is my favorite. This takes me back to my high school days. RIP Joe.
My wife's favorite Joe Cocker song, great song, mandatory listening on family trips
Joe is.................................articulated.
One of the most unique voices ever-You go Joe-miss you sir
His cover of The Letter is a must listen and yes it’s got his signature yell ! and on a softer side his cover of Darling Be Home Soon is another one I promise y’all will love

Love this one! The piano is fantastic, too. Joe Cockerwas awesome.
We went to see The Who and Joe Cocker opened for them. Joe was so damn good I was like ‘I don’t even need to see The Who, Joe put on such a great show!!
Wow, what a support act, if you can call him that! What a treat!
Been TOO Long. Yes.
I love playing the piano for this.
One of my all time favorites, can't figure out why he isn't in The Rock and Roll Hall of fame. He was with out a doubt one of rockers ever.
"Hitchcock Railway" is an under the radar gem from Joe.
Ever watch Joe live? He sings so hard it looks like he's gonna fall over.
Yes!!! He's amazing live!!!
"You Are So Beautiful," might be Joe Cockers' greatest hit ............... a "must hear" song!
To me this is one of those songs you listen to when your hanging with friends on the river partying 😉
Guys, your reactions and MOVES really show what I feel when I hear this song. You CANNOT stop yourself from moving!!!
The late, great Joe Cocker-- it still rocks!! ♥💙💜
There is never a wrong time for Joe Cocker. His live album "Mad Dogs and Englishmen" is one of the best ever.
You need to hear the original song Feelin: Alright by Traffic! But, this version is a GREAT song! No doubt about it.
Check out Joe’s version of “Cry me a River” from the Mad Dogs and Englishmen album. It’s fantastic!
He opened Woodstock 2 in 94 with that song and Had the grunge and head bangers flipping out.then he said,see you in 2019.sadly he never made Woodstock 50th anniversary
Check out "You Can Leave Your Hat On". His live stage performance in Dortmund will blow your socks off. And the sax player he has is off the charts good too!
Kudos to that piano player! Love me some Joe Cocker, especially his live performances!
My favorite singer of all time. No one could out perform him.
Probably my two favorite songs of Mr. Cocker are his two covers of Beatle's songs: "She Came In Through The Bathroom Window" and "With a Little Help from My Friends". But all of his music is fantastic...

I've suggested before....Joe Cocker unchain my heart
RIP MR JOE COCKER❣️❣️YOU ARE MISSED!!
Man, Joe Cocker was purely one of a kind! Much imitated.... NEVER BETTERED!
Written by Dave Mason while he was in Traffic in 1968. Steve Winwood was the leader of Traffic
Joe Cocker does the kind of songs you never want to end. You could just go on groovin' to 'em forever!
Super Classic Joe Cocker!! (With the Choir). :) Love it Guys!
He's known for doing great versions of Beatles songs. One of them, With a Little Help From My Friends, you already reacted to. The other one is She Came in Through the Bathroom Window.
Watch Joe Cocker and John Belushi performing Feeling all right on Saturday night live John Belushi is one of the blues Brothers
The live version of Joe Cocker doing With a Little Help From My Friends as part of the Mad Dogs and Englishmen tour is essential.
I saw Joe Cocker with Steve Miller Band and Bob Dylan, was an awesome concert!
The first rock concert I ever went to was Joe Cocker at the Hollywood Bowl when I was 13!

I was watching SNL that night and ROTFLOL🤣
Thanks for that link. I went back and watched it - so awesome. SNL was my favorite show for years - too bad they're now a part of the woke agenda.
@@violetflame23 I don't see "woke" as a bad thing, so I enjoy SNL just as much now as I did in the '70s.
I was wondering if anyone remembered that. Aging ourselves. 😂

This is one worth listening to (one of the several) live version. To watch him perform adds another 50%!
This is my favorite Joe Cocker song he kills it!
Joe Cocker duet with Jennifer Warnes “Up Where we Belong” from movie an Officer and a Gentleman is an awesome love song!
I saw Joe Cocker perform this song in concert in 1969. I knew the song but I didn't know who Joe Cocker was at the time. He was a new artist. Nevertheless, he blew my mind.
Joe Cocker mostly covered other peoples songs , but always made them his own with his instantly recognizable voice and style. He was friends with and covered quite a few Beatles songs.
