    Eight years after this tribute, Joe Cocker is STILL not in the Hall of Fame. A ridiculous oversight. People will be listening to Joe's music long after many of the inductees are forgotten.

    Thank you Billy Joel! I'm a huge Joe Cocker fan. Always have been, always will. Joe is the only individual I know who got better as he aged!!! And I've always admired Billy Joel as a true musician!! Not entertainer but musician! Big difference people.

    A fitting tribute to Joe. Billy obviously knew of Joe Cocker's illness and it was Billy's way of publicising it since joes illness was never made public.
    No one will ever replace Joe but billy does a great job at keeping joes spirit alive.
    RIP Joe cocker. A sad loss.

    • @angelikaturoff4214
      @angelikaturoff4214 3 года назад

      It was never made public because that’s how the family wanted it, they wanted their privacy and billy took it upon his own hands to publicly announce this

    You do a great Joe Cocker tribute, Billy.
    Here I am 79 years old and a new Cocker fan. My kids listened to him in 70's and 80's. He definately got better with age.
    Thanks for posting it.
    🎶 loved your music for years. Sing on Billy.

    Both legends!

      @Bluebird9 8 лет назад

      +greenblade3 Joe Cocker was a better singer than Ringo, but so what? I think there's a reason why they decided he should sing that song and not Lennon or McCartney. It's perfect in it's gawkiness and it wasn't intended to be a vocal masterpiece. And i love it for that very reason, because Ringo sings it.

    • @greenblade3
      @greenblade3 8 лет назад +1

      +Aleka A. your more than welcome to like ringos version better but for me its not just the vocals this arrangement is far better and brings the best out of the song. plus big wonder years fan 😂😂

    • @Bluebird9
      @Bluebird9 8 лет назад

      +greenblade3 Well, if it's about the arrangement then you should consider all the musicians included in the cover version. I think it's unfair to say that J. Cocker was the ONE man to make the song better than the original.

    • @navyvet8798
      @navyvet8798 Год назад

      Thats not according to Billy Joel You might want to listen to his interview before writing stuff like this. He actually was flopping in a show and sang two cocker songs and imitated cocker in those songs and the crowd reacted thinking cocker had shown up to sing. That in turn got record labels to thinking joel had performed great when in fact it was cockers songs and imitating him thta had caused the crowd reaction. I think you are writing rumor stories that people tell

    Joe Franklin was a gentle giant in entertainment for seven decades. He outlived many of his peers and naysayers who resented his longevity. I appeared more than a dozen times on his TV show and when I died on January 2, 1980 (a faux obituary in the NEW YORK TIMES), Joe devoted his program to me with clips of prior interviews. Within minutes, his fans were calling the TV station to report the hoax. The producer switched immediately to an old Hoot Gibson western without any explanation from Joe, who remained befuddled, invisible and angry at me. But years later he apologized when I had dinner at his restaurant. RIP JF. Sincerely, Alan Abel
