Joe Cocker - With A Little Help From My Friends (Live) 

I still miss Joe, too. I won't feel half as sad as I do now, when Bobby Zimmerman slips into oblivion..

Amen

So glad I seen him in Laughlin NV. 🎉🎉🎉

2024!

I agree! I don't know who decides who is going to be in there but who ever decides need to rethink it because Joe Cocker does belongs in there.

Cause at 1 time he was a drunk & PEOPLE judge he as that & don't give him credit for changing his life around. I say SHAME on them.

Probably because he didn’t fiddle with kids

I remember looking for at John B Lee for the letter 5o years ago

Try 49 yrs yeh

True cover artist, lol

Thanks 2 YT... & Uploaders.❤

We are here

Proper old school.

Yep

Oui

Called "Soul."

Grown ppl music

Was thinking the same, the backup singers were amazing!!

Yes they do! Amazing vocals and their love for music and the performance of them is heart filled

Very true Patty.

that's their job

@@ibanezrg470 duh! I was expressing how great they were

The only man in history that took a Beatles song and made it his own and you gonna tell me that this man don’t deserve to be in the Hall of Fame come on people what’s wrong with y’all?

E esse back vocal ? LINDO DEMAIS

Where was this recorded?

Me toooo

Agreed! Reminds me of Christmas and everyone around!

God bless you.

That is truly a blessing. I pray for a relationship like that. I'm 67 and I believe my window of opportunity is fading. First Valentine's day l ever spent all alone. I envy you, sorry but I'm also a little jealous of you. But I pray about it everyday and l think God is going to bring me someone. God bless you both l loved this post, it increased my hope...

Rock on!!!

Very lucky you xx

​@@williamperson5848 hang in there brother!

I know huh? It's absurd. This song by him is included in the 500 most influential songs, but with little fanfare.

He really should be. I hope someone will see your post and someone will do something about that.

My Dad took me to see him when he came to South Africa....not many musicians come to South Africa so it was a very big deal. I will be forever grateful to my Dad for this.

No, but the put rap stars, motown groups, souls singers...see the link here??? They only put non-rock people in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Why not put Joe in the Black Music Honors Hall of Fame? He was a soulful as any of them.

l agree with you, indeed Joe Cocker is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style, he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days.

re-listening to it from time to time. Joe was incredible.

Always.🔥💕

All the time!!!!!

Maybe down to experimenting when younger, but my brain was fused to a time before my birth! I love the Woodstock-era music and I'm a massive Deadhead (they WERE there but their sound system didn't work, imagine the film with a proper Dead set!)

Joe was an amazing artist. He could sing anything and was amazing!

O

Gives me goose pimples

Hello, from a western neighbor! I hope you are well, my friend. My comment isn’t about saying poor pitiful me. Just stating a fact and wanting you to know I appreciate your comment, it was for a reason. I’m in a very low spot right now, and friendship is definitely a big reason. I’ve watched this video countless times, but this is the first time I decided to read comments. I don’t believe it’s a coincidence after seeing this comment, “peace to all…” and your comment being as new as it is! I want to offer a huge thank you for your comment, especially the quote from it I mentioned. It helps me. God bless you!!!

I am french too ; when I hear this song, I remember my brother listening to it I am 58 years old. Heis dead in 1976, aged of 20 dead I think he was happy when listening this song

@@laurence2198 Désolé pour votre frangin, si la chanson vous met un peu de baume au cœur c'est déjà bien 😊😉

@@Texan1981 i'm in peace now that's sure. Music is very important for me , i can travel through time and knowing other times like here and that is the best air line travel !

Love

S tím pohřbem ještě počkejte a tu píseň si vychutnavejte dokud to jde ještě zaživa,přeji hodně zdraví.🌹

Yep for SURE

🌠🎒

Beats the Beatles version hands down. Even Lennon said "That's how we should have done it." But it needed a soul man like Joe.

Hes no death as long as we remind him!

Other time Lennon said : Now it is Joe's Song @@childofthe50s53

I agree he made the song better. This version is sublime. But I wouldn't say it's the ONLY song made better than the original. Bob Dylan only plays Jimi Hendrix's version of All Along the Watchtower because it is better than his original. Jeff Buckley's Hallelujah is better than Leonard Cohen's (but only marginally imo). Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" is another one.

Meta. Well that's a great sentiment to express. Understand what ur saying and that would be nice to see.. Humanity & unity seems a long way appart where I'm looking on from. One day maybe... Ever hopeful though like your good self. 😃

Wonderful words of hope, my friend.

Still today it's one of his greatest. RIP Joe

AGREED I'm out of Kent Ohio I seen him at 3Rivers in Pittsburgh my o my I was up close in the infield ""Great Show 👍peace ✌ 2all love ya in out of here

I get goose bumps on my goose bumps. Same with Janis and Aretha.

NOTHING compares to this magnificent artist. His songs still give me chills ❤

His music takes my breath away!

Gracias por compartir esta bonita experiencia con joe, abrazos hermano.

Jim Lang Saw Joe in Dunedin New Zealand 1982 Joe was not well and had to walk off stage Nick Hopkins started Hitchcock railway and the bassist took over vocals It was just totally professional Try and see that today

Thank you for sharing this with us. Is there any records of this event?

disagree hes a wanker ,,,not trolling i just think beatles and him shouldnt be in the same sentence

I heard him sing this live, it was electrifying. Brilliant

Nunca más habrá Una Voz igual A esta . D.E.P Joe Cocker y Gracias A usted..

It blew my mind when I first heard the Beatles version (had heard and loved Cocker's version first) and realised that fun little upbeat tune had spawned such a majestic cover.

I hate covers. I was born in 1977, so, I actually heard this version first I believe at any rate, I was 20 before I found out that the Beatles even sang it.

uno de los grandes de nuestra época...eso suena al tiempo de los dinosaurios... tampoco así!!!

Hope you are in a good place my friend... Life is full of ups and downs.. Take care..✌

@@paulmarsh8974 Having some health issues, but overall, I can't complain because my wife is my best friend...Hope all is well with you Paul...peace, much love, and respect...👊

This song always reminds me of the big loss the musical universe suffer since Joe Cocker passed away.

@@FabFourable This version makes the Beatles version sound so bad. Sorry Ringo😮.

real friends... it should be AAA

Grew up on his songs and still listen at 65...why wouldn't you...fabulous

@@mikecruzen6183 old enough to know better

Put some rock and roll on

Those were crazy days, in a pleasant and wonderful way!! We are now living in crazy days, too, but they are totally unpleasant, wrong and dangerous.

Yes I remenber this days with a lot of good smelling smoke. Wish i could go back sometimes. Saw him live in an Open Air in Germany, so good times in my live

Performers live to preform. That man from Sheffield, England was a performer. Alas I never saw him live. RIP. For a legend.

Those crazy days, my world is pink. These crazy days, the world turns upside-down! 🙂Have a nice day everyone. Stay healthy.

That's How I Got By In 1978, Joe Cocker. And A Lotta Help From All My Friends, "God" Bless You All... Most Playing Heavenly Music Now Also... Tears Rollin.10-9-21

Me too!

@@TheJeanalynn1 iiithinkheisgrith

Liked Joe since Woodstock ..miss him

I am still listening to this fabulous song after all these years! Me 75 years young! Bring this music on!

Euuuiu

I do!! And a lot of people do!!

We are here 🙌.

Great comment....@@suesavage513

He’s shite

@@trevm02 he thought the world of you

Finally a fellow that knows his history 😥👍

My step dad knew him when he was a busker in yourkshire back in the day

That's Right 💯🤘

Amen brother ! I saw Joe in 1973 in Seattle, with Linda Ronstadt opening. An enduring memory that has lasted almost 50 years!!

agreed!

Wish I still had some friends like I used to have somehow I lost myself in the process I lost my friends CT

@@luciabernreiter8483 oh how sweet for real my brother

🙂🙂

Joe you were amazing and sorely missed. I just hope tyou have youTube in heaven

@@WilliamDavidKirbyUK Exactly 👍

So true

I can't disagree. He gave the song soul.... He did the same thing to You are so Beautiful.

I learned about this song watching the TV show the wonder years when I got older I looked it up and found out the Beatles song it originally but Joe is more my style 💪🏾

Joe cocker did this song right The Beatles wrote it, joe cocker sang it.

@@merklingassoc I read in an article that during an interview he reavealed that 'You Are So Beautiful' was his favorite. Wow, awesome that you caught that in the passion with which he sang that beautiful song. I'd also read that his voice cracked at the end of that 1975 studio recording. He apologied for losing his voice, saying that he'd do it over. I don't remember who nor how many told him that his voice cracking was what put so much emotion into the song, providing the perfect ending. It couldn't have been scripted any better. They kept it in. Yes, I think you got that so right, that was soul, and it made the song his.

The backup singers are amazing indeed!🔥🔥❤️

And they are pretty easy on the eyes also, AKA HOT!!!

​@@gelynch52phPHai amico!🙋😍😘💘🌅

God bless his soul in hesven

Great.

Joe , Janis ,both put their soul into their music, literally.

His soul was musical and his body played every note!

De lo mejor que escuché en mi vida un grande .

Semplicemente un grande del pop rock americano da Giuseppe Tambuzzo di Milano Lombardia Italia 🇮🇹

@@carlosmassa7964 ❤️❤️❤️❤️

@@giuseppetambuzzo5271 More ❤️❤️❤️❤️ for you.

The only man that took one of the Beatles songs, and made it his own

Yes, he did. He took one of the Beatles songs and made his

Yep wish I was there too

No entiendo? Lo bueno siempre bueno y pocos es tan a su altura?

Me too!

Backup singers would be great on theierown

Hell yeah

Bullshit ay

No màte

Ño👎

He was never under rated.

That's so funny because I have a 31 year old daughter a 33 year old son and a 41 year old daughter. They all listen to all the music I grew up with, because that's all that was ever played in our homes and cars!! I often joke with them, hey does your generation have any good music? LOL Yes I know they do, however nowhere near the 60s and seventies, and Early 80's. The Very best years for music, this entire century!!!!!. They know all these songs by hearts. Should I ever meet a man who could sing to me like that, I wouldn't care what he looked like, how smart or wealthy, nor much of anything. I'd marry him tomorrow. Can you imagine being sung to like that every night? What an amazing turn on. Unfortunately, I learned this at about 50. I wish I had known this at 24. oh well when your beauty fades, and you find out what's really important in life, sometimes it's just a tad too late. Don't be a dumb you know what like me! Look always from inside out. Never from outside in. Words of wisdom from somebody who screwed up Big time!

I believe Joe was granted "carte blanche" permission to record any and all Beatles' tunes based on his performance of this song. An anthem for our time.

77. I understand.

I'm 74 and I am with you sister. What a talent.

73 and still digging it

52 here. Eyes watery.

CRY BABY

true

AMEN

WHEN THAY TRY THAY DIE NEVER HIRT GODS CHILDERN...........

Á

I strongly agree

А я из России в 2024г в свои71 год "тащусь" от Джо!

are you tone deaf

it’s his backing that’s saveing the song, worth out them he has no voice

@@brinmanfans9496 Two talented Black ladies so much better than his original backup.

This is the comment I was going to leave.

@@jawsxx8683 Clearly a group effort here. Pure magic.

I am 82 and agree with you. My friend is the same age as me, she bought the record for me. We are still friends 63 years after meeting for rhe fjrsr time.

70 and agree

62 & i agree too

Good taste does not age....

This song is one millions time better than.all the Beatles songs

This is easily in the top 3 of all time remakes better than the original if not #1

The only version better is the dead

We all need help! God bless!

True

Amen xoxo

Hola

@@analorenasolis1997 Hola, estimada amiga! Muchas benediciones! Con la música y el talento de Joe Cocker! Saludos desde Brasil! 👋👍🇧🇷

Yes, these background singers are stunning performers. They help to burn this great song in my soul.

💯🙏🏽

l agree with you, indeed Joe Cocker is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style, he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and always heals the Soul…

Hi i just wanted to thank you again for being so supportive and following me on my Journey. I love inspiring and encouraging others. People like you help me to keep showing up! Hope you are having an amazing day❤️💝♥️❤️

BeatLes song but Joe sang it better, he did a couple of others as well..

Oh good, glad I’m not the only one crying while watching/listening to this great artist!!!!

The Beatles wrote the song.

The Beatles wrote it but Joe owned it. One of the greatest performances ever.

I wish that I wished I had some friends

😂 yes we are ❤

Right on

You're not wrong there.

Absolutely!

Yes but please do not forget Steve Marriott.

they were fantastic

In that era, back ground vocals HAD TO BE ABLE TO SING; READ MUSIC; PERFORM in the studio (one take); AND stage. I'll agree Joe was a ONE OF A KIND, IN A LIFE TIME.

Yes thank indeed thank you FLINT MI for acknowledging the back up singers and ALL INVOULD!!

You nailed it. The background singers, organ, and guitars make this a classic for the ages with Joe's dynamic singing.

I agree 100%

One of the greatest voices??? I think not!.....but! .....A Great entertainer!

Absolutly!!!!

Grandissimo Joe, unico.

Never does
