Up Where We Belong : Joe Cocker & Jennifer Warnes 

My husband's choice for his farewell song at his funeral - I honoured his wish & love listening to this song when I'm feeling lost and missing him💔

RIP, Lou Gossett. Your performance in this film encouraged me to return to the military for nine years, in the USAF and nine years in the USA. I retired 100% DAV. God Bless.

At 17 I made the decision to join the coast guard. Just a dumb kid from nebraska. Watched 2 many movies .. This movie was my inspiration....

I took my high school girlfriend to see this movie. Been married to her for 34 years. Three Kids. Grandchildren. She is the Love of my life!

My husband is my prince, the love of my life, my everything and my world. He treats me like a queen.

I saw this movie when it first came out, I joined the navy a few months later. I was stationed on an aircraft carrier stationed out of Japan, the USS MIDWAY CV-41 , I met a girl named Karen 1/2 through my time onboard. We dated for the 30 days I was home on leave. I didn’t see her for 12 years . I found her after all those years , she was divorced and so was I. We dated for 5 years and I’m looking at her now folding clothes in the kitchen.... married 17 years now. Long story short I love this movie and this soundtrack. My you tube name says it all. It’s now 12-26-2022, we now have 4 grandkids lol. 8 week old twin girls, 18 month boy and a miracle baby girl that’s 3 1/2 now, born at 1 pound 13 ounces and kickin ass now. So blessed. Tomorrow 9/4/2023 the wife and I are going to liberty station, it’s the old naval training center/ recruit training command where it all started for me (us) it’s been close since 1997 but is now a historic public venue with ships, eateries and Naval history. I’m looking forward to it⚓️

RIP Lou Gossett Jr. Thanks for it all.

I used this song in the slideshow presentation for the celebration of life for my husband of 41 years. He loved this movie and the acting of Gere and Winger. I hope he is smiling up in heaven.

In Memory of the late, great Lou Gossett Jr. as well as the late Joe Cocker. Great movie. Great song.

RIP Lou Gossett Jr. Extraordinary performance in this movie. Condolences to your family.

I treated my wife like the queen she was. I lost her 8 days before Christmas 2020. I feel so alone. I miss you my love. Rest in peace 🙏. With love. Chuck

Rip to the great Louis Gossett Jr, thanks for the memories 👍

2024 who's still here?

One of the greatest movie end scenes ever.

My wife and I had this song played for our first dance on our wedding day October 03 2015, we were happy until cancer took her from me, April 23 , miss her incredibly fly with the angels until we meet again . thanks for sharing this beautiful song

Every time I hear this song I weep deep in my heart and it hurts. Why can’t these haters listen to this song and feel and show love.💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

Man, the 80's were so magical... such a different time!!

Can we just go back to the 80s and be forever young.

My husband served in the Navy and the separations, war, injuries and just getting older, was hard but part of our lives. It's the love that lifted us up where we belong that has kept us in good stead. This beautiful song captures our relationship so well. 34 years though trials, tribulations, separations, but nothing keeps us truly apart. I love you, Jimmy. Always and Forever, your "Beautyfull" xo

As a former drill instructor, this song and the movie brings back a flood of memories.

R.I.P. Lou Gossett JR.

I listened to this song every every day while a beloved friend and wonderful man was dying from cancer. It was and is my heavenly hymn. Tears flew down my face as I weeped and weeped and weeped. This rendition helped to ease the anguish with the knowledge that there is a higher dwelling place. ❤

I can't believe I'm pushing 48 yrs old, and yet I still haven't seen this GEM from one of the GREATEST DECADES that EVER EXISTED 😊

RIP, Lou Gossett, Jr, 1936-2024

Since I have no one to dedicate this song to, I dedicate it to you, whomever is reading this. 😍😍😍

This was our graduating nursing class song for 1985. So heartbroken that this class never had any reunion whatsoever. Our class was the Northern Montana College. I graduated at the top of my class.

I saw this movie with my girlfriend the summer it came out. 1982. What a year. What a decade. What a movie. What a summer. The summer before my senior year in HS. That girl taught me a lot. It didn’t hurt that she was 3 years older. Thank you Denise. As hard as I’ve tried, I’ll never forget you.

I saw this movie in 1991 when I was in high school. Then I enlisted in the army as a private. The commissioning was my favorite part of the movie. I dreamed of becoming an officer ever since a kid. In 1997, I swore to defend the Constitution as I received my Army commission. I was finally an officer and a gentleman.

Thank you for this song ❤️ My Stepdad died when I was a teenager and this was one of his favorite songs. His name was "Scott" but we called him "Pudda" He died at 42 yrs old and I was supposed to see him 3 dys before he died but I let what shit get in the way. To this day when I hear this song I remember how much he loved us, and most of all how much he loved our "Mother". I miss him so much, and I miss the depth of "love" I saw in his " eyes" and "spirit" that he had for my "Mother" even if she couldn't. I know what "love" looks like.. That was a "MAN". Namaste mamas 💜♾️

This was such a beautiful song from one of the best movies of the 80s. This song hit number one on the US Billboard in December of 1982 and stayed there for over a month. It peaked at number 23 for 1983. The 80s was quite the decade for TV, movies, music, the 80s had it all.

I was an innocent kid in Saudi Arabia when I saw this movie via VHS tape. It was brought into the country by my dad's American boss. I enjoyed watching this great flick. In fact I have watched it multiple times ever since 🙂

Totally iconic song. That will be popular in a hundred years

1982: masterpiece 2024: masterpiece

Cocker's raspy intonation, Warnes sweet tonality. This song should not work but it does...flawlessly. A masterful lyric, percussion and musical accompaniment. One of the best love songs ever written.

Still in 2021 Richard Gere in his white suit still gives me goosebumps 💕

I remember watching this movie on a date with the only girl I truly ever fell in love with. It was a short relationship but had a lasting impact on my life. Every time I hear that song it brings me back to that wonderful moment in my life.

“Love lift us up where we belong” These were the times we were raised on not all the hate/division in todays world 💫 Love and Peace to all the people of the world 🫶✌️

Sometimes I wonder if 80's ever happened....Such a magical time.

Great song. Great singers. Great movie Those of us 50+ that were fortunate enough to grow up in the 80s will never forget those times It hurts to know our kids won’t ever know anything close to what we had

It 's a beautiful song from a classic 1980's film. RIP to the gravely voiced Joe Cocker.

❤❤❤I fell in love with this song with all my heart

I was a navy girlfriend in the late 70!’s. This makes me cry, so many happy memories xxxx

I can't help but think how much better things were when this movie and song came out.

I pray in Jesus holy name that LOVE lifts all those up, who are still lost and don't see the way the truth and the life, amen!

I REMEMBER THE MOVIE AND THE SOUNDTRACK 'UP WHERE WE BELONG' BACK THEN IN 1983. I WAS A 17 YEAR OLD TEENAGER. BEAUTIFUL INNOCENT TEENAGER YEARS. I REALLY MISS '80'S.

Wasn't the 80's just great...?

Never get tired listening to this song, coming to my age of 70.

Saw this movie at an age when we thought life would last forever..... now I’m 55, and know better... What a sweet memory though of a beautifull period in life...

One of my Dads favourite songs. He made my mother sit all through the credits so he could hear the song.

My Junior High School Concert Band played this song a year after it came out. I remember after the performance at the assembly, I went home and popped the movie in the old Beta Max. I've been in love with the movie ever since. R.I.P. Lou Gossett, Jr.

DON'T LET THIS SONG DIES! Will never be forgetting!!

I've watch this movie over & over again but i never get tired of it, one of the best love stories

Fell in love with Richard Gere during this movie; what a gorgeous soundtrack. When he comes into the factory in his white dress uniform & carries her (Deborah) away was so romantic. God Bless all of our service member’s it’s a very hard life & a few hearts and some lives; sadly,,,don’t survive it.

This song has no limits; it flies high like our Eagle-jets soaring to the Heavens. The depth and beauty of this duet touches my soul and actually makes it hurt. It tells the truth about life and how we should choose love , show it, preach it and live by it. I grew up in Joe Cocker.❤

Fun fact: this is the only song that won Oscar, Golden Globe, Grammy, and BAFTA

CLASSIC song & movie. A real tearjerker. Timeless classic. RIP Joe Cocker.

RIP Joe Cocker, been gone over eight years now...rock is getting old.

This movie is about finding our way. What we want in life. I know that I found mine.. I went in Army.. I served over 26 years. I met the man... the soul who changed my life... and this movie DEFINES that. Most have NO clue...

Joe Cocker/ Jennifer Warnes This is a definitely a song to listen to. They both come together with this it’s really lovely to listen to after such a long time ago. Great memory jerker.

This makes me want to watch Top Gun again, I can see an 80s/90s movie night in my near future,

Classic movies like "An Officer and a Gentleman" aren't made anymore. Movies like this should be cherished to enjoy in life.

He can sweep me off my feet anyday my god in that uniform what a man!!❤

This song is one of Oscar's Best Original Song in 1982.

Jennifer Warnes' opening vocals are burned into my mind.

This song gives me goosebumps forever

Oh my goodness they dont compose music like these unless from a different planet absolutely classical and lovely

BEAUTIFUL SONG! IS SAD TO HEAR that Joe cocker died HE had a BEAUTIFUL voice R.I.P

This a song that could fit any relationship. RIP MOM. Some days feel just like yesterdays. Even though its been 23 yrs

Thank you Lou Gossett Jr. foe giving us no nonsense roles in Officer and a Gentleman, an as Col. "Chappy" Sinclair in Iron Eagle.

This is a masterpiece of all times ❤

this was played at my dad´s funeral. i always bawl like a baby listening to it. rip dad

This movie is so underrated! I love this song and movie so much!

Beautiful song with so much meaning.

RIP Joe Cocker . just a great singer! timeless song !!! forever every time every moment !!!

I love music but this song goes to my soul and makes me feel there's always hope x

Richard Gere was so gorgeous when he was young ❤️❤️

A beautiful song sung by two legends.

Wonderful Duet with such a Beautiful Love Song on this 9th of August and Sainte Amour in France 🙏🙏🙏🌈🔥🌄💙❤️🌍🌙🌹🌟☀️🏵️

Richard Gere was so handsome in this movie

A great movie from a much simpler time; I started my senior year in high school in 1982.

I had my dog passed last year and this song came in mind. ❤😢

Words fail me to express the love i have for my children who are my best gifts...

Loved the movie Officer and a gentlemen. Joe and Jennifer played a vital part in making it a success. RIP Joe.

I miss them both. Jennifer's voice was so beautiful, and Joe Cocker was an amazing song writer. RIP

I love every second of it ,still in 2023

I heard this song when I was a high school student who loved pop songs in the 90s. It's such a great song.

I’m 15 years old and I love this song😍😍

I just heard the news about the passing of Joe Cocker....this is the song I will always remember him by....Joe and Jennifer made a perfect duet...Rest In Peace and thanks for this lovely song Joe ~

My 8th Grade Graduation Song❤ Reflecting on life and the future❤

Rest in peace, Louis Gossett Jr. You were the best!

I am 51 now and this is my favorite movie of all times. Thanks for the upload.

One of the greatest romances I have ever watched. What a movie!!! And I don’t watch romantic movies. This was class.

Great rendition from truly the greatest song writer and singer of all times

This is the movie that I don't get sick of watching over and over. Richard Gere has always been a good actor and I like Pretty Woman too. I watched the movie over and over. I just love the guy and his acting, he's a natural!

It has almost been four decades, and I still enjoy this iconic song ! Thanks

34 years and still know the words...

18/02/2023 depois de uma noite de trabalho estressante ouvindo essa maravilhosa canção debaixo do chuveiro ♡

Back shivers❤

That song was remarkable because it explains the ups and downs in relationships and how we should overcome it to move forward.

Just wanted to say, that this song was our theme song for our graduation from Grade 12 in my home town, a mining town in northern Manitoba, Canada, "back in the day". It is so lovely, that I cannot listen to it without getting out the box of kleenex! To me, it's about never giving up on your dreams or goals. I absolutley love Jennifer Warnes' beautiful voice coupled with Joe Cocker's more baratone singing voice, it makes such a lovely duet! No wonder we picked this song for our special occasion! I saw this movie too, above, and it was great also. Have a great rest of 2022 everyone!
