Who Did It Better? - The Rolling Stones vs Joe Cocker vs Humble Pie - Honky Tonk Women 

Humble pie for me , welcome back CNC great to see you 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 happy healthy peace ✌️

For me I prefer the original version by The Stones the best, I really liked what Humble Pie did with their cover, I'm not particularly a fan of Joe Cocker I'm afraid, but I know that many are, which is good.

Stones for me.

Joe Cocker, then Humble Pie and thirdly The Stones

Rolling Stones (Brian Jones last recording sessions - RIP)

Yippee new start for our Family 👏👏👏 I'm not a fan of either Joe cocker or the rolling stones but I'm going to enjoy just seeing you guys in a new setting in a new headspace so now I'm going to sit back and enjoy your Smiley happy face's and not worry about the music

You need to see the Joe Cocker video from Mas Dogs snd Englishmen to appreciate the sheer musical excess of his version.

Tough one, I enjoyed all 3 versions. If I had to pick it's be the Stones.

I'm a terminal devotee of Steve Marriott but no one can even dream of touching the Stones version !

The Stones, a class above.

Humble Pie.

Never a big fan of Joe , so Mick & crew get my vote 🗳.

Welcome back C & C! Stones for me, probably always will be. Though Ike and Tina Turner did a cover of it I'm extremely fond of.....its one of the best of Keith's five string G tuning songs, there's a story that Ike Turner pulled Keith into his dressing room at gunpoint, and demanded Keith show him, "That five string shit". The next Ike and Tina album was all five string G tuning, including the cover of Honky Tonk Women. Funny you should mention Country, as this was originally written as a Country song, it's called, Country Honk, its on Let It Bleed (i think). Worth a listen....Cynthia would hate it though!

I LOVE this "Who Did It Better" series. What fun. I have a whole lot of songs I'd love to suggest. But since Steve Marriott is on my mind here is one I think would be interesting. This song was written and originally performed in 1962 by Smokey Robinson, then covered by the Beatles in 1963, and by Small Faces in 1965. I don't know if it's cheating to say so, but Steve's voice in the Small Faces just rips my heart out 💔. This little white Cockney boy (only 18 at the time) has sooo much soul. I know this is an old song for your generation, but it is a timeless classic and has been awarded honors by both the Grammy's and RRHF as one of the best songs ever. Thank you for your consideration....

Well every party needs that guy. I'm going with Ronnie Milsap. If you're not familiar with him. He started off as a piano player and singer in a blues group. Charlie Pride saw him at Whiskey ago-go and convinced him to give country western a try. Mr. Pride mentored him and to keep along story short, through the 70s and 80s he was a hit making machine. Oh yeah, he is also blind.

Stones win…iconic! And Charlie’s good tonight.

Elton John version on 11/17/70 album is a must!!😊

Hi there...great reviews...hope your domestic issues have been sorted.😊

Ooooh a double on 1st day back 😅 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Hay where's the painting? Behind you 😜😂 RELAX I'M KIDDING in your own time my friends Don't forget!!! Forgetting things is my speciality 😮

Rolling Stones ...

Kia Ora HELLO EVERYONE i hope all the crew is doing good 👍 me and Strummer are toasty and warm tonight after the coldest night this year last night we got our Arses in to gear and went for a drive Strummer drove his second time driving since getting his license and we filled the car up with fire wood. Chain saw and roadside deadwood = warm and toasty boy's. Ps I'm a very paranoid passenger and Strummer didn't give me any phantom brake moment's just had to remind him to check his mirrors more often and he's good 👍

It almost seems sacreligious, having come of age in the late 60's-early 70's, but I agree with Cynthia on the Stones.Don't dislike them, and owned many of the early 45 singles as a youngster, but I am not a huge fan overall. I am HUGE fan of Humble Pie and Steve Marriott, but again this is not my favorite recording of theirs (there are a couple live videos I like better) as the entire "Eat It" album was not mixed well in Steve's home recording studio. Jerry Shirley said they were all appalled when they heard the record. I agree that Jerry on drums and Clem on gitar are the stars on this song - killer job by both. So my vote here goes to the always wonderful, soulful Joe Cocker and all the great artists backing him on this tour. IMO - it's not too "honkey" and not to heavy - it's just right and a fun recording. YES, please more Humble Pie !! I like what you have done ("I Wonder" is my favorite), here are a couple more suggestions: "I Don't Need No Doctor" always live - Live at the Fillmore features Peter Frampton on lead guitar and is considered by many to be the best, but the live Winterland from 1973 is harder, bluesier and alot of fun as Steve's interactions with the audience are priceless. "You're So Good For Me" is my second favorite and a bit different tone. A beautiful duet with Greg Ridley's deeper gravelly voice and Steve's higher tones soaring over the top. Soulful back up singers make it sound almost gospel.

Don't forget Country Honk. By the Stones!!

Stones Joe Humble Pie

Late to the party 😔 some things never change did you save us some cake?😊

I love Humble Pie and especially Steve Marriott but I still think the Stones version JUST takes it. The Cocker version is disappointing because I think a slowed down, bluesier version would have suited Joe better.

Joe's version

the men that wrote it win it

Easy. Stones.

I'm sorry i see the painting down behind your computer screen I've got new teeth next up glasses

I've got to say 72 views and only 12 👍 WTF? Family? Come on family we can do better than that for Chris and Cynthia. All for one and one for all together we can help our family grow ❤️ without having to sleep together 😮😅😂

Early Stones is not this version of The Stones.Like a different band almost.

It's just No the same song withoot the Coobell. I'll stick wi the Stones Version.

The Stones by a mile. Nice and sleazy. Joe Cocker's version works because he has a great band, but I don't care for him except in very small doses. Humble Pie is just the kind of overwrought blues rock that got old very quickly everywhere except America. It just seems off the cuff and not particularly rehearsed and the sound is terrible.

1. Stones version is def a candidate for the vastly overused term “ iconic “ and is the definitive version that I prefer 2. Sorry Col but as usual Joe Cocker butchers a classic song with his obvious ( to me ) inability to actually hold a tune 🤦‍♂️ 3. Sorry James , but the drummers best mate on Humble Pie version , who CLEARLY done the mixing on this only succeeded in ruining what might’ve been a decent version . Stones all day long ! 🤷‍♂️ 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NaSV0ymL8jk.htmlsi=EDCPQTYUGmuQiNQi The song above is by Chris knox it's called NOT GIVEN LIGHTLY. In my opinion the most honest simple love song ever. Unfortunately Chris had a stroke about twenty years ago and lost his singing voice but hasn't given up on life he's a KIWI LEGEND and a very good man so one day if you need your spirits lifted give it a Go 👍 this is from the heart of Chris to his wife
