You'll be even more stunned watching him live. He is a unique presence you'll never forget. "Feelin' Alright" NOT Live is great, "You Are So Beautiful" live, "Up Where We Belong" live with Jennifer Warnes, "The Letter"
It was said that Joe Cocker felt the music so hard, he couldn't stop his body from moving, as if it was playing every instrument at the same time.......By all accounts, this amazing man, was the most gentle person you could ever meet, and wore his soul like a blanket, for all of us to see 💗💗💗 ***RIP GREAT ONE*** 💗💗💗
Joe Cocker killed this song! You should check out his Woodstock performance of it. Here's another one I think you might enjoy - Van Morrison - Into The Mystic - another person with a soulful voice.
Originally a Beatles song from the mid '60's, but when John Lennon heard Joe singing it his way, he said 'He owns it now'. RIP Joe Cocker and God bless man. The summer of love when hippies rocked the world. God I wish those days were here again.
Yes, at the original Woodstock, it helped make him a star and has to be seen, amazing young Joe going off the chain, Wow! Same song but what another incredible version. 🎵
Angela. Grab your tissue box and lend your ears to Joe Cocker as pleads his case to you especially as he delivers a message of love to your heart with his live performance of YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL. As a young woman who clearly moved by an honest song, you will fall in love with version of the song. I have heard some people criticize Joe for looking like a beast and sounding like a cement mixer but it is the heart and soul he puts into this song which matters. And you are the beautiful woman who deserves the simple praise he sings about. Because you are so beautiful. I love your channel. Enjoy.
Hi Angela 🌸🌻Welcome to another monumental rabbit hole!!! If you don't mind another case of awestruck tears, try the LIVE version of Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes doing "Up Where We Belong", which was from the movie "An Officer and a Gentleman". During the opening years of the 1970s, Joe and Leon Russell helped me boogie through a very challenging high school experience. When Joe and Leon Russell passed away, the sun in my sky shined a little dimmer. 😢
oh that’s on my cry playlist another beautiful song to cry to is “Flowers of December”. Mazzy Star😢 i’ll put link below of her performing live. she’s so sweet 🥲
JOE COCKER, "A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS" THE ICONIC CLASSIC BEATLE REMAKE. IF EVER A SONG WAS SAID THAT BELONGED TO SOMEONE ELSE. IT WOULD BE THIS. IT WOULD BE A REAL TREAT TOO SEE YOU REACT TOO THIS SONG DONE LIVE AT THE 52ND ANNIVERSARY OF WOODSTOCK CONCERT..(1969)...
I saw him at Yasgurs farm in upstate NY in 1969 commonly known as Woodstock he did this song Amazing ,Angela you should see that epic performance Semper Fidelis The Gunny
I am a new subscriber and am really enjoying your reactions. I have three favourites;Joe Cocker -You are so Beautiful, like you Hall and Oates -Sara Smiles, Lastly a Canadian Group The Guess Who - These Eyes. All the best!!!
The next time you react to Joe Cocker, make sure it's a video. You really need to see him move, to get the full experience. I recommend "Feelin' Alright", great tune.
So much enjoyed your take! Joe OWNS this song, John Lennon & Paul McCartney wrote it, but...WATCH the Woodstock performance of this, you have to...it is epic. In my opinion it was the best performance of the entire concert of three days and dozens of legendary performers. Keep it up, sis, you're doing a great job here. Two thumbs way up.
As others have said, this is an original Beatles' song (Lennon/McCartney, sung by Ringo Starr) from the Sgt. Pepper album. The Beatles' version is great, but it was never released as a single. However, it is one of those Beatles songs that everyone from every generation likes -- you should listen to the original, if you have not already. Joe Cocker did something completely different, taking the song in an unexpected direction with deep emotion. Cocker's version was a surprise hit, and it was subsequently used as the theme song for the long-running TV series "The Wonder Years." One other Beatles' song that had a surprising soul/gospel cover was "Lady Madonna," which was done by Aretha Franklin. Franklin's version was the theme song for a TV series called "Grace Under Fire." Unlike "With a Little Help From My Friends," "Lady Madonna" was a big hit for the Beatles.
You might not have made the connection that this was originally written by The Beatles! Joe was principally a cover artist, but everything he touched, he re-invented into something magical. ❣️🌹
Angela;You are so beautiful to me,,....Is classic Joe Cocker,but for the full experience you MUST watch him live,it's hard to put into words,it just has to be experienced.👼😷🇨🇦
Oh my God, Joe was Awesome the 3 times I saw him. What a great, unique, bluesy and soulful voice he had. And what a great band, the one you are listening to was amazing, that is Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin on guitar. One of the great interpreters of other songwriter's music ever! Enjoy Unchain My Heart, You Are So Beautiful and Cry Me A River, you will love these! Fun stuff you do. 😎
@@markiec8914 East Texas and especially the Toledo Bend Crocket National Forests area are beautiful soooooooo beautiful!!!!!! Glad to hear more of my people are out there!!!! 😍😍😍😍😎🍸
This Man Had One Of The Best Voices I Have Ever Heard. Yet I Feel He Was One Of Our British Artists That We Never Gave Him Quite The Recognition He Deserved. Love The Review😊👍
This was performed by him at Woodstock in 1969 and alot was happening. Diana Ross was about to leave The Supremes, The Jackson Five's Debut Song I Want You Back was released. More Young Men were going to Vietnam and The Beach Boys were dropped by Capitol that same year. It was also featured on The Wonder Years as it's Theme Song, and in the 1980's Other Beatles Songs were featured as Theme Songs on TV Shows. Lady Madonna on Grace Under Fire and Obli Di Obli Da on Life Goes On which was the first Show to feature a Family who had a son with Downs' Syndrome. He was also voted by The Hip Hop Magazine as one of the Best Blue Eyed Soul Singers of all time. That means they are White Artists who sing Music with a Strong R & B Influence. In Europe most notably Scotland, England, and Ireland they have alot of amazing Blue Eyed Soul Singers. Michael Jackson once owned The Beatles Catalogue then he had to give up a portion to pay his debts and it was owend by David Bowie.
I'm a 66 yr old that grew up with this music. I absolutely love listening again through you. You make me feel young again while I watch. God love ya! I subscribed!
The greatest cover of any song in any genre I've ever heard. I remember being mesmerised by the sight and sound of him performing this in the Woodstock movie.
You want to hear an absolutely wonderful Joe cocker performance then watch ' you are so beautiful ' live in Berlin. Magical , emotional, soulful and truly one of a kind performance. Top tier. So glad u got to Mr. Cocker. Ty, great reaction!
If you liked that you should check out You are So Beautiful by him. A simple but soulful song. Also check out Objects in the Rearview Mirror by Meat Loaf.
The guy was amazing the way he was so “all in” + more ! I loved his performance in the movie “Across The Universe” doing Come Together - one of the 34 Beatles covers in that masterpiece.
This is originally a song written by The Beatles and appeared on the "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" record in 1967. Cocker turned it into more of a gospel song. But it's true that the live version he performed at Woodstock in 1969 is something to see.
More soul/blues than gospel, to my ear. The Hammond organ and bass are perfect. Bet Paul and John were kicking themselves for not thinking of it themselves. A rare instance where the cover is better than the original.
Yup Angela, see the Woodstock version. His backing vocalists missed the gig.. The boys stepped at the last minute in, that's why the backing is a bit off. But hey, Joe is the nearest we Brits will ever get to Ray Charles. Angela try some Ray Charles, now we're talking
The totally cool thing about this is the original, Beatles, version was written in 4/4 time. The rhythmic pattern repeats every 4 beats. This version is done in 6/8 time. The rhythmic pattern repeats every 6 beats. What kind of musical brain hears that 4/4 original and thinks, “let’s make a jazz waltz out of this?”
Whoo-Hoo, the amazing Joe Cocker! Saw him 3 times, He blew us away every time with the most unique, passionate and soulful/bluesy voice you will ever hear. This song is off the Album of the same name and is a Beatles classic off of the Sgt Peppers album. (If you have not heard that all-time Beatles album, do so ASAP). Joe was one of the great interpreters of other songwriters tunes. He has many magnificent hits, you will love him! Try Cry Me A River, Feeling Alright and Unchain My Heart. Enjoy! 😎
You'll be even more stunned watching him live. He is a unique presence you'll never forget. "Feelin' Alright" NOT Live is great, "You Are So Beautiful" live, "Up Where We Belong" live with Jennifer Warnes, "The Letter"
You should listen to the live version of him singing " You Are So Beautiful"
100% his voice makes me melt with its beauty.
listen to the live version of him singing " You Are So Beautiful to me ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, so pure
Joe Cocker's "You Are So Beautiful" is amazing, too!
It was said that Joe Cocker felt the music so hard, he couldn't stop his body from moving, as if it was playing every instrument at the same time.......By all accounts, this amazing man, was the most gentle person you could ever meet, and wore his soul like a blanket, for all of us to see 💗💗💗 ***RIP GREAT ONE*** 💗💗💗
Joe Cocker killed this song! You should check out his Woodstock performance of it.
Here's another one I think you might enjoy - Van Morrison - Into The Mystic - another person with a soulful voice.
One of the few artists who took a Beatles song and made it better.
Originally a Beatles song from the mid '60's, but when John Lennon heard Joe singing it his way, he said 'He owns it now'. RIP Joe Cocker and God bless man. The summer of love when hippies rocked the world. God I wish those days were here again.
Hey Jude, take a song and make it better
For the longest time I actually thought the Beatles were doing a cover of a Joe Cocker song. John and Paul could sure write music.
You really should SEE him perform this song. Live.
Have a great day!
Yes, at the original Woodstock, it helped make him a star and has to be seen, amazing young Joe going off the chain, Wow! Same song but what another incredible version. 🎵

Woodstock is first time most of us saw and heard Joe Cocker 🙏👍
you should check out his song, "You Are So Beautiful To Me"
Best cover ever of a song written by the Beatles.
If you haven't seen Joe do this live check out his Woodstock performance.
My favorite from Woodstock
That song live in Woodstock is unforgettable!!! Take a look...
Seconded. It's this squared

You should not only listen to him, watch him …… it is pure and intens emotion!
You want a song to cry to? The Beatles "She's leaving home" is a great song.
play Nillsson version with headphones. Is as good or better
oh that’s on my cry playlist another beautiful song to cry to is “Flowers of December”. Mazzy Star😢 i’ll put link below of her performing live. she’s so sweet 🥲
The only person to preform a Beatles song better than the Beatles.
You need to see him sing a Little help from my friends live at Woodstock. A truly soulful and physical performance.
JOE COCKER, "A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS" THE ICONIC CLASSIC BEATLE REMAKE. IF EVER A SONG WAS SAID THAT BELONGED TO SOMEONE ELSE. IT WOULD BE THIS. IT WOULD BE A REAL TREAT TOO SEE YOU REACT TOO THIS SONG DONE LIVE AT THE 52ND ANNIVERSARY OF WOODSTOCK CONCERT..(1969)...
Listen to Joe Cocker's~ "Unchain My Heart" ❤ and "You Can Leave Your Hat On"!! But you really can't go wrong with Mr. Joe Cocker!!

All the best!!!
Joe Cocker sang with so much deep emotion and soul. RIP Joe Cocker!!
The next time you react to Joe Cocker, make sure it's a video. You really need to see him move, to get the full experience. I recommend "Feelin' Alright", great tune.
You need to react to you are so beautiful! Great reaction!

Great reaction, you are so beautiful - live in Berlin ... Amazing.
suddenly memories of the wonder years comes back to me
Great reaction. I feel the same way listening to Joe.
do yourself a HUGE favor - "Your can leave your hat on. (movie version)" Joe is so good
The BEST cover of a Beatles song EVER

As already stated, the Woodstock performance is the one!
Joe Cocker definitely has a distinctive voice. You should also watch him in concert. He has a unique style too.

Woodstock version is a must.
She has such an old soul.
Absolutely beautiful.
This a Beatles song, given the brilliant interpretation by the one and only Joe. R.I.P.
You are a very sweet soul. And a bit lucky to hear wonderful songs from the years gone by. So nice seeing you speechless after Joe's epic performance.
Written by the Beatles. Made it his own.
This Man Had One Of The Best Voices I Have Ever Heard. Yet I Feel He Was One Of Our British Artists That We Never Gave Him Quite The Recognition He Deserved. Love The Review😊👍
Joe was a musical genius. Greatness.

You should check him out doing this song at Woodstock (the original). His performance is kinda frightening.
Joe Cocker. So Good. Stuck for words. Just Brilliant !!
I'm a 66 yr old that grew up with this music. I absolutely love listening again through you. You make me feel young again while I watch. God love ya! I subscribed!
The greatest cover of any song in any genre I've ever heard. I remember being mesmerised by the sight and sound of him performing this in the Woodstock movie.
You need to listen to this at Woodstock it’s so much better live 🙏👍
You want to hear an absolutely wonderful Joe cocker performance then watch ' you are so beautiful ' live in Berlin. Magical , emotional, soulful and truly one of a kind performance. Top tier. So glad u got to Mr. Cocker. Ty, great reaction!
Couldn't agree more 👍 Thats a powerful performance
Angela...he makes me cry to. That voice is just sooo soulful!
Those backup singers are (as boxers say) bringing the leather. Awesome.
He brings a new dynamic to that Beatles tune This song also played in the beginning credits of The Wonder Years GOODBYE YOU ALL!
Banger of a song..and a performer who gives absolutely everything on stage..try and look at his live performances his voice is excellent 🇬🇧💞✝️🙏🎶
you NEED to see Joe live..
Kind of hard to do now.
One thing I love about music from this era are all the incredible backing vocals. I do wish there was more of that these days.
If you liked that you should check out You are So Beautiful by him. A simple but soulful song. Also check out Objects in the Rearview Mirror by Meat Loaf.
Joe 100 percent about emotion, he would get so lost in his songs. Great reaction!! all I ever ask an artist to do is move me, the great ones can.
You wouldn't believe this was the same song, sung by Ringo Star, on the beatle's Sgt. Peppers album, RIP Joe.
The guy was amazing the way he was so “all in” + more ! I loved his performance in the movie “Across The Universe” doing Come Together - one of the 34 Beatles covers in that masterpiece.
You should the video of him singing this at Woodstock.
Joe was genuine - still wonderful when we saw him in Sydney 2002... nice to hear Jimmy Page's piercing guitar opening too
A big part of Joe's performance is physical. Watch him live.
If you were ever a fan of the TV Series "The Wonder Years", you will instantly recognize this recording as its' theme song.
I love the backup singers.
Was so lucky to have seen him live ❤. You really need to watch live performance to get full Joe Cocker experience. Like no other. RIP sweet man🙏
The beauty of his voice when he's screaming makes me cry every time I hear it. The pain in his voice cuts me.
This is originally a song written by The Beatles and appeared on the "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" record in 1967. Cocker turned it into more of a gospel song. But it's true that the live version he performed at Woodstock in 1969 is something to see.
More soul/blues than gospel, to my ear. The Hammond organ and bass are perfect. Bet Paul and John were kicking themselves for not thinking of it themselves. A rare instance where the cover is better than the original.
…wow… song, voice, arrangement… top notch… oh, and love your reaction…
Much loved anthem of a generation :)
Your eyes are all watery, that's the best reaction
It brings me to tears too
Yup Angela, see the Woodstock version. His backing vocalists missed the gig.. The boys stepped at the last minute in, that's why the backing is a bit off. But hey, Joe is the nearest we Brits will ever get to Ray Charles. Angela try some Ray Charles, now we're talking
You have no idea how much old school music is ... Keep going you'll love it.
His voice sounds "gospelly"....what a great, perfect word you just made up!!
Real natural voices , no auto tune as many today .
The Woodstock version is far more intense......Seeing Joe in action is part of the whole performance.
This reaction was $$$ Priceless $$$ Amazing to watch the wonderment in your eyes.
I love your reactions ❤️
Joe has that effect
The totally cool thing about this is the original, Beatles, version was written in 4/4 time. The rhythmic pattern repeats every 4 beats. This version is done in 6/8 time. The rhythmic pattern repeats every 6 beats. What kind of musical brain hears that 4/4 original and thinks, “let’s make a jazz waltz out of this?”
Check out his song “you can leave your hat on”
Seeing your reaction to this masterpiece is just a joy. Thank you !
watch the videos of Joe from Woodstock, off the chain, Joe was something to watch and hear.
You have got to see the Woodstock video. I was there(I"m OLD) and he had us mesmerized.
Listen to "you are so beautiful" and " Up where we belong" Good Joe Cocker tunes
The Letter live is a must
like Janis Joplin watching him live you can see all his emotions of the song
Wonder Years! I was waiting to see if that clicked. Great song and reaction.
Whoo-Hoo, the amazing Joe Cocker! Saw him 3 times, He blew us away every time with the most unique, passionate and soulful/bluesy voice you will ever hear. This song is off the Album of the same name and is a Beatles classic off of the Sgt Peppers album. (If you have not heard that all-time Beatles album, do so ASAP).
