When mr. Joe Longthorne recorded a song , inevitably, it became the definitive version. All other world reknowned singers, no matter how famous or brilliant a singer they were knew that it couldn,t be bettered
How on earth Joe wasn't the most famous singer in the world is a mystery. What a voice he had. Joe died just a few days before my brother, and a week before my closest friend, and I keep coming back to this superb performance, which expresses the raw emotion I feel. Saw Joe on stage many times, he was fantastic, a million times better than any of the so-called 'stars' we have today. Incredible talent, and a lovely man. RIP, dear Joe, you will be missed.
One of my favourite versions of this beautiful song which was my partner and I's song, who sadly died suddenly aged only 49 and I fell apart. I lost my business and my home and hit the bottle. I wandered the globe trying to escape my demons, slowly drinking myself to death, until one day I realised my demons were inside of me and I had to deal with them or die, which isn't what my partner would have wanted for me. I went into rehab and I've now been sober for 6.5 years, I've rebuilt our business and got a new home and whilst I still mourn her passing every day, I can now also celebrate with a smile the wonderful memories we created together. To the woman who taught me how to love again, until we meet again: "Fly high and proud and if you should fall remember WE almost had it all." R.I.P Galia
OMG ThIs guy didn`t need to imitate anyone, a truly world class act in his own right who didn`t receive the world wide credit and aclaim he so richly deserved. A musical legend, IMHO, up there with the very best. Thank you Mr. Longthorne, you will live forever because of your wonderful music and amazing talent. R.I.P.
Blocking stage door Glasgow royal concert having a fag 1992 said can't block the door mate saw him that night what star.God bless Joe never see your Like Again
Not only did this guy have a fantastic voice, he knew how to use the microphone. Not like a lot of todays so called ‘singers’ who almost ram it down their throats and scream at the top of their voices. God bless you Joe
Unlike so many new singers now and boybands singers whose voices are so feminine, Joe's voice is not only beautiful, pleasant to hear, healing but truly has a true male quality to it.
What a fabulous voice and a fantastic man. Irreplaceable for so many reasons. His support for charity for which he received an MBE. His bravery and acceptance of his terrible leukaemia, which reappeared as throat cancer. But still he continued his wonderful singing in Blackpoool. So happy for him that he met and married the love of his life. You went from our lives far too early Joe, but you will be loved and terribly missed, but always remembered by your wondeful videos.
Forgive me if I have posted on this performance before. If I have its because I keep watching it over and over again! Without doubt it is one of the finest performances of any song, at any time, that I have had the honour of watching and listening to.
Why don't we see Joe on TV? This is a man that has played all the great theatre's including a successfull show in Vegas. Typical of British TV that totally ignore a living legend. ❤️🌹
The amazingly talented joe longthorne was from where I live , he's buried just down the road from where I live , god bless and be with you joe 🙏 at peace now ♥️
Joe was by far one of the best entertainers this country has had. He is missed so much. His voice was beautiful. Gave me goosebumps and tears every time I listen to this song. He is singing in heaven. Sleep well darling Joe.xx
Joe was one of the best vocalists I have ever seen live- alongside George Michael. Everytime I goto Blackpool I always goto the north pier to say hello
I remember listening to Joe every new year. My grandparents had a video tape, he was my nanas favourite singer, i always remember her having a tear when listening to him. I feel so emotional when i hear his remarkable voice. There will never be another talent like it!
Born to perform , living in the far south east of England , hard to see these great performers, saw him at Margate’s winters gardens want struck me from the start was what a warm natural guy joe was , a people person , he made me shed a few tears with his heart felt singing , RIP , mate x
joe was a good singer i was lucky to have met him on my 50th birthday a night i wont forget long live joes music gone but not forgotten a talent witch he was
To our Darling Joe, yes a darling, because he was one of us, down to earth an exceptional human being. As rightly said Joe always in our hearts, "The Peoples Singer" Love you Robert xx
trevalone,i dont dispute that joe isnt a great talent .but to be candid ,sammy davis jr.was the greatest all around entertainer that ever lived.sammy was in a league of his own.from robert,the s.f.giant fan.
How is it possible that a singer with such a phenomenal talent is not known all over the world!? Something is very wrong! I sit stunned by what I'm hearing: Bassey and Jones combined! Wow!
I am a girl from Hull another Hessle Roader born just two years before Joe. I have never been so proud of anyone as I am of Joe for the way in which he coped and handled himself during those last torrid months of his terrible illness. Thankfully the Lord spared his voice so he could still delight us and himself with his truly magical voice made extra special by his stunning performance. Your name will be spoken out loud for many years Joe especially amongst the people of Hessle Road and your army of fans worldwide. Once seen never forgotten.
Often watch JL video,s on youtube..................remember him back years ago................its Great to see SO many positive comments here about him etc...............he SO deserves then and more ...............world-class he was/is..................
By chance, I unearthed this genius during a search for Cleo Laine on the tube. Despite his tragic circumstances, he always leaves everything and more on stage. Endearing, engaging and deeply touching;he can make one cry whether he's singing, doing impersonations or just simply acknowledging the love his audience reserves for him. He makes tears human and humanising. A really fine human being. Thank you Joe and may God bless you always.
Damn right, and so they should have. Who else could ever have sung a better version, with so much power, control, heart and soul ? Certainly none of the tripe that call themselves singers today. R.I.P. Mr. Longthorne.
One of the best evenings of my life was seeing Joe at Howden Park theatre in Livingston, Even my good wife enjoyed it and we have such incredibly different tastes in music.
I was gutted by the death of Joe Longthorne yesterday, in recent years I have tried to see him regularly. Joe was an amazing vocal talent and I will never forget how at the Epstein Theatre at Liverpool he made me sob and ‘Cry Out Loud’ with his singing of ‘Don’t Cry Out Loud’ in the aftermath of losing my dad. This was a song which touched my heart at a time when I finally knew my dad was shortly to die. There was something very personal in Joe singing before you. In his last years, blighted by health he mumbled a lot when he spoke but then when he sang it was as stunning as anytime in his life. The last time I saw him at Crewe he even threw away false upper teeth away mid song and still he sounded astonishing. Nothing changed his vocal. RIP Joe
Saw this gentleman in Blackpool in the eighties. His vocals were amazing. The range of his voice, how he entertainment everyone. Was a wonderful unforgettable night. Sad to hear that this incredible guy has passed. xx
1:44 just look at the genuine emotion he shows and clearly feels when he sings these lines - it is like he is there with the girl when she knows her dream has been shatttered.
That's beautiful,StevenX Joe is an amazing vocalist.I LOVE HIM,and will ALWAYS MISS HIM.His voice is pitch perfect,and he fought all his illnesses,and there were many,he never gave up,until his body could take no more.He died at home,in the arms of his Partner, of many Years,like they had planned.Such a sad loss.I'll ALWAYS LOVE YOU,JOEXXXXXXXXXXX
I am always greatly moved by his rendition of such beautiful songs. He puts his heart right there and one can feel the full emotion it evokes. Truly, a unique and special performer.
The singing impressions are absolutely spot on but let us not forget Joe has a phenomenal singing voice in his own right a truly top,top british artist and should be recognised as such. 🎙🎼🎹
A true professional joe rests peacefully near where i live. I get the privilege to share a few moments with him in my darkest times. A total inspirationx
went to so many shows to see Joe with my late wife but after she died I could not face going I knew it would upset me so much but after a good few years had passed I did pluck up the courage and went to the city varieties at Leeds to see him again and was so glad I did memories came flooding back of the great time we had at shows and the time we were at blue dolphin on holiday and Joe was staying in next caravan to our Linda my late wife would not go anywhere if joe was about he was a great entertainer and a true friend thank you for the memories JOE rip my friend
Joe Longthorne is totally emotionally connected to the songs he sings - you can see it in his face. That factor, along with his amazing voice, is what makes him so great!
oh no why did this wonderfully talented man have to ask for his audience to applaud him, he shouldn't have had to do that, they should have just done it

This performance deserves millions views and likes!
We need to keep this gents memory alive, what a voice

You don't hear singers like this anymore, I always wanted Joe to sing in his own voice rather than the impressions, like the last comment, pure class
I have been crying out loud,lately.I don't think I'm the only one.....we ALL miss Joe.....SO MUCH...XXXXXXXXX
A lot of people missing this man. He was so good 👍

Joe Longthorne is an outstanding talent.
What a shame his career has been interrupted by illness.
Not only did this guy have a fantastic voice, he knew how to use the microphone. Not like a lot of todays so called ‘singers’ who almost ram it down their throats and scream at the top of their voices. God bless you Joe
Possibly the great underrated talent we have ever seen. For me Joe is one of the very finest
Thanks Paul for taking the time to leave a really nice message.
Not underrated paul.
Millions loved this guy .
@@superdonnie2011
Still think he is not held in the high esteem of all time greats
Totally agree , he didn't get the recognition he so deserved
Simply world class . As good as it possibly gets.
Unlike so many new singers now and boybands singers whose voices are so feminine, Joe's voice is not only beautiful, pleasant to hear, healing but truly has a true male quality to it.
👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
It's all about the talent. Very few men have that vocal power. He reminds me a little of a male Shirley Bassey.
They just don't have singers like Joe anymore. What a talent !!!!
Dear Joe,what a class act ,very much loved and missed xxx
I agree. This is what pure talent is
The pure and utter emotion of Joe and his singing makes the hairs on my neck stand up.
Simply the ultimate live performer.
Joe is the greatest entertainer this country as produced
God bless you Joe. Where have all the entertainer's gone.
What a fabulous voice and a fantastic man. Irreplaceable for so many reasons. His support for charity for which he received an MBE.

oh no why did this wonderfully talented man have to ask for his audience to applaud him, he shouldn't have had to do that, they should have just done it
I would imagine because they were recording the show so the applause was needed for the audio!!!
Probably one of the greatest vocalist this country has ever seen he’s up there with the likes of Tom jones
An amazing talent.joe had such an abundance of talent.
Crying what a loss! Melts me xx
