@@marygonzalez5907 Leon wrote this and arranged the live version of "The Letter" which should have sent Joe's career into outer orbit. He also penned "This Masquerade", "A Song For You" and "Superstar" just to reference his incredible songwriting ability and vastly underrated musical, arranging and production talents. Reading his biography that contains GREAT stories and insight surrounding the "Mad Dogs and Englishmen" experience and Joe's state of mind at the time. :)
That voice, the moves and the look - Tom Jones has it all. I saw him in concert several years ago and he was captivating. Did not need distractions such as flashing lights, dancers or stunts because he was all the concertgoers needed to see and hear.
Two totally different styles, go so great together. However every time I see Joe Cocker, I can't help but think of John Belushi's impression on SNL. LOL

I was a teenager listening to these two at this time. I was in love with Sir Tom and his magnificent voice. Still am at age 71. I really thought back then that Joe Cocker had cerebral palsy! I loved his music, but his movements were so odd. Tom insisted he be able to choose his guests for his variety show, and he could sing any genre, any style with absolutely everyone. The 60s and 70s had the best musicians and vocalists....period.
I loved the guests that Tom Jones and Johnny Cash had on their shows. Tom really knew how to do duets with his eclectic guests. He's a total pro. I saw him in Las Vegas in the mid-1990's and his cover of "Kiss" was better than the Prince original!
Joe cocker , jerry Lee , ray charles , Stevie, Janis Joplin, dolly , little Richard , Wilson picket ..........8 off the top of my head . And Tom smoked it ... if u have kids ..... please please please show them all of these performances rather than som bullshit reality TV
I told my Doctor I couldn’t stop singing like Joe Cocker. He said, “Perfect! Sing another chorus of Delta Lady...I need to check your Throat & your Tongue!”
You obviously don't pay attention to new talent or some of the bands or artists from present years. You must only tune in to classic rock radio, and remain completely stuck in the 60s and 70s. That's unfortunate.
There isn't any new radio with any talent. It's not his fault you have to find a roach filled dive bar where weekend warriors perform between shifts at a warehouse.
I first saw Tom Jones in a theatre club in England. I was 19 years old and he was about the same. He'd just made his first record. He came on stage on blew the roof off, Power, soul, drama his voice had it all. I saw Joe Cocker in Perth Australia when he was about 60 ish and he could still show today's vocalists how its done. Power, soul, drama. I'm gonna miss Joe, RIP
But would anyone really want to move like Joe? Lol I understand that he puts his whole body and soul into his performances, but damn if it doesn’t look like he’s have a seizure each and every time. Haha
I'm sick of every fucking song on the radio having pitch correction software to thank for its existence. People tell me that it's not a big deal but they're not thinking enough about how it's destroying Humanity. Right now there's a 14 year old vocal phenomenon, who will never come to realize his talents because he lives in a world where everything he hears on the radio is fake and absolutely impossible for humans to achieve. From social media to the radio dial, technology has taken the human out of humanity.
@@roseblake5803 I stand corrected, but in the shadows he bears a strong resemblance to Leon. Plus Leon would have most likely worn the top hat he was so fond of during that time frame. Thanks for setting me straight.
Those were singers! Unfortunately today we don't have such great artists and songs.Today music is in a really poor condition above all as compared to these Giants!I want to cry!That golden age will never come back again!
So lucky to have seen Joe live. He was in his 60s and performed at my work. I'll never forget the gravelly yell from when the night comes. So much emotion
2 guys I didn't care for in their time . But have grown to appreciate later on . Incredible voices . No one can hold a candle to that vocal power today .
Bud Lee , l think Tom Jones would have benefitted from being part of a band. He performs better when pushed a little by those around him( in my observation). This formula worked so well for The Beatles!
"No" Joe Cocker Didn't have Cerebral palsy!! He had featured Expressive body Movements while On stage. He died of lung cancer. Who else is watching this wonderful show On December 7th 2022 the best music of all time.
Went to Tom concert couple of years ago here in Rome. The voice was still amazing but he could hardly move on the stage and that was too pity for such a showman... Rip Jo, you too had an incredible voice that would stand among thousands
Debra, this one with CSNY became my fav. collaborations of all time. Tom wailed it out of the park. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dIDzA0YDso8.html All of them excelled.
I love this for so many reasons, not least that for the first time ever I actually understood the words...😂Thank you Tom !. That Joe, such a talent and kind man, was as always swept away by the ecstasy and joy of the music and because once again, we see the phenomenal talent and professional graciousness of Tom Jones. 👏❤👌
Watched a documentary on Joe a few years ago and fell in love with him , what a performer and singer but very shy guy , he eventually found peace in nature and the great outdoors. RIP Joe you will be truly missed. Can't miss out the great Tom Jones either , another legend in his own right .
@@jennifersman7990 That's correct he spent a lot of his time out walking and exploring the desert and mountains. He enjoyed his own company and was at peace .
Oh my... that’s incomparable! I can’t stop smiling!!!!!😃 these two together is just something incredible! How is that possible I haven’t seen this before?! Now I can say this year was not wasted😊
Absolutely brilliant singing, both 100% but also in appearance,Joe Sheffield rugged gritty ,Welshman Tom smart, tidy , but both immaculate in sound,tone and range,,
Superb authentic talent!! Great times Tom Jones gave me and my family growing up. My brother was a hippie and Joe was always on the turntable it was magical!!!
Every time I see a video of Joe Cocker singing I can't help but think of the classic Saturday Night Live skit that John Belushi did imitating Cocker.... I laugh my ass off...
My mom had every Tom Jones record and played them all the time and everytime he was on TV, we all had to watch. She just adored him. My mother ended up with dementia later on in life and towards the end, we could get her to come back to us for a few moments when we would play anything Tom Jones. Music is much more then entertainment it can be quite magical. Thank you Tom Jones ❤️
