Joe Cocker is one of the best (if not the best) blue-eyed-soul-brothers of all times! I have never heard anyone else keep up with James Brown the way Joe does. The boy can sang (not sing) but sang!
The Best there is,the Best there was,The Best there ever will be. Just LOVE that voice, No one can hold a candle You "Sir Joe Cocker" I wish I could have been there that night.
Eliezer Pennywhistler I can't say Joe was better because only James can do his scream. But Joe Cocker is the only performer that can match James in this soulful delivery (in my opinion). When Joe says "Lawd I'll go crazy" he does it with such "soul" it's hard to deny him is due. I loved this performance and I love Joe Cocker. Best "Blue Eyed Soul" singer of all times! Go Joe!
Did you captured when James brown asked Joe cocker to scream one time two times and wanted him to scream a third time " Joe cocker knew he was testing him because not alot of musicians can pull that scream note exact a third time,so Joe jumped into a liryc frase" like saying come on don't I deserve a little respect
Truthfully, the original released version by James Brown sucked. This song had to be done at this beat. I think it was an English group who released this song at this upbeat tempo and it was great. I guess James caught a clue. It was the Moody Blues, to my knowledge who jazzed this up, here's the 1965 cover. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DElXhQRhBfE.html
