Met Joe twice, invited me and husband into dressing room. Most friendly and down to earth guy in show business. This man has so much talent and musical ability, in all he is a true national treasure.
I've seen many bands over the years from Sabbath to Slade to Maiden to Skynyrd and Joe's show last year in St Albans just before lockdown was one of the best I ever had the privilege of seeing. It's because of him I took up the uke! Give the man a knighthood he's earned it more than most who get one!
I'm Italian so I didn't know him Till I got interested in the music by George Harrison and I discovered this guy always next to George Who was a very good ukulele player. But when I watched the concert for George held in London in 2002 to celebrate George's life and music it was Joe Brown to play and sing Here Comes the Sun but Adobe all it was he who closed the concert singing " I'll see you in my dream"and playing a superb ukulele making the audience cry. Absolutely amazing! I fell in love with him.
I agree, Joe Brown has made an amazing contribution to the performing arts world wide, while still holding his humanity. He deserves a medal. Thanks, Joe.
Unbelievable talent - I am 70 years old and heard him do stuff when I was very young - he did a song ‘ I’m Henry the eight I am’ His personality came over and he is a smoker - the most certain sign of wisdom is a continued cheerfulness. That is Joe. Oh , by the way - he is so talented. He play many instruments and his voice is kind of soothing and is like home cooking. Joe I watched you many times over the years. And I saw you sell your Morgan car on the telly. It made me laugh when you said you had to sell it because you couldn’t get out of it. You could!! But I had a sports car and took the same route and sold it. I have a warm feeling when I hear you play. Thanks buddy😀
This guy was a legend before I was even born. I’m now 53 years of age, half grey and half bald, and Joe hasn’t aged a day, with a head of hair I said goodbye to 20 years ago. Loved this rendition, thanks for uploading.
Saw Joe many years ago in Working man's club in Birmingham. After putting on a really great show he then spent a long time talking to people and signing pictures and autographs. Nothing was too much trouble from what I saw as a really nice man. You were great Joe and thank you for a memorable evening
Beautifully sung from one singer to another 57 years for me cliff would be very proud a song I love very much I sang it live at my wife's funeral thank you RON 😅
I did not know of Joe when I was 🇺🇸 younger, but absolutely love him now. I play this video once every day. Along with "I'll see you in my dreams." What a talent.
When I was a kid back in the sixties he was the guy every muso respected ( and he still is) and as a cockney kid myself he was a source of inspiration to practice guitar. I feel like I owe him a lot for all the good times I've had over the years playing music. Cheers Joe you're a real star.
Still rocking Joe after all these years.First saw you in the sixties, brilliant then, and still the same after all those years.Still got the same hair ..like a brush...From the first couple of minutes on stage has the audience in the palm of his hand, funny, good storyteller, and wonderful musician,all round entertainer.Thank you Joe for all the pleasure you have given to audiences for all those years.We love you, God bless.🌹❤
Terrific - I’ve seen Joe twice recently, and both shows were absolutely superb! This guy pre-dates them all, The Beatles, The Stones, Zeppelin, and he’s still putting on a great show. A true British music legend!
Joe ye've been there all my life ,i'm 71 so that makes you an old man hahaha i love ye to bits and i'm trying to learn ,see you in my dreams on the uke fingers knackered with arthritis used to play guitar so uke easier with only four strings ,trying to work it out so i don't have to bar chords .Thanks for what youv'e done for music Joe you've been just great ,xx
Outstanding version by a true British legend. When I was a youngster in the 1960's I remember watching Joe on our old black and white telly. He still has that same spiky hairstyle and still sounds as great 50 years on.
Thankfully he is highly respected by his peers, including Beatles and the Stones, and he has had a 60 year career and by all accounts has a heart of gold. I love him and really hope to see him one more time.
And he's right about how underrated Chaz and Dave were. The fact that the late Lonnie Donegan didn't look out of place performing with them speaks for itself.
Took my dad and uncle to see Joe in Brierley Hill, thought I'd just be chaperoning them, no way lol, what a guy, what a show..... In fact I now play/sing 'picture of you', if you not been to one of his shows gerra long, talented and funny, thanx Joe for giving us 3 a great night 😉
When you look at so called music today theres no justice . Joe brown is a briiiant musician, but oh my god his son Pete. Its the first time ive seen him he surely can play Joe should be proud of him.
I only recently discovered Joe and I certainly missed a lot of superb entertainment through the years. His rendition of this song is done no better by anyone else.
Saw Joe Brown, Guildford, 1962. I was 16, my first concert! Gene Pitney, Johnny Kidd & the Pirates, Heinz, Mark Winter. What a night! Im 70 next week, always remember that night! First long trip on my Ariel Leader, Iconic Motorbike. Aiming to catch Joe, on his current tour.
Chris Sawyer I’m 70 also and remember him with the Bruvvers. Always wanted an Ariel Leader motorbike but my parents wouldn’t allow me to have one. 😢 Joe always comes across as a decent and genuine man.
At the young age of eighty, two years previous is when l came across him On u tube, what a miss all these years, he and his band are just spectacular, like me l guess they are getting on enjoying life to the full,thank you thank you again thank you.
Love Joe Brown, a natural storyteller, funny, fabulous musician and all round entertainer, who has an audience in the palm of his hand from the first couple of minutes.First saw him live in the sixties and he is the same down to earth londoner as he was then.Remarkably he still has the hair...like a brush, ... only joking Joe.We love you, thank you for all the years of pleasure you have given to audiences everywhere.God bless you.🌹❤
Met Joe when I was about 10 years old, Granada Brixton and our back garden backed onto the theatre,one night Joe Brown used our garden as an escape from the fan,He was so tall and a lovely man ... brilliant memory
I've seen Joe play live a couple of times, he's a really good musician and this video is a good example of how great he is with a live audience. All I can say is go and see him if you get the chance, as well as being gifted musically he's a great story teller !
Great guitarist. Pobably made the best English country record in his #1hit 'A Picture Of You.' Always liked him and my respect and estimation for him went up when I read Marty Robbins was his favourite country singer.
Saw him when he backed Status Quo, he sang his three songs from the George Harrison Memorial Concert, and being a big fan I was delighted I had a few tears in my eyes.
An anthem for us London boys, written by a couple of London boys and performed by another London boy done good. Cheers Joe. P.S. pretty sure I saw you perform at Walthamstow Town Hall back in the 90's
