You're absolutely correct, today it's all about "image", talent comes after that. A good example is Susan Boyle, everyone was ready to dismiss her simply for how she looked! She certainly fooled them all and so did Joe.
My favorite singer of all time. Literally my cannot live without music. If I could only have one artist to listen to for the rest of my life, it would be Joe Cocker.❤
He always made me cry and feel ok after he sang!! Would of loved to seen him at Woodstock!! Listen to A little help from my friends!! Total tear jerker!!
One of the most beautiful performances and songs I've ever seen. Such depth of emotion and feeling. You can't teach this. It's natural...and so beautiful. I love Joe Cocker. It reminds me of the original stage performance of Les Miserables, Bring him home sung by Colm Wilkinson. BEAUTIFUL!
Sooooo beautiful,,,,thank you ,,,(and I love you too ,,,) thank you for sharing with us ,,,I am a huge fan of Phil Driscoll too ,,looking forward to keeping up with you and your selections ,,,Theyre Great ,thank you and God bless ❤🤗👍
I couldn't agree with you more. I'm from an older generation and I'm proud of you for recognizing Joe Cocker 's talent to deliver a performance from the fiber of his soul. His honest raw performance is what allows us that don't have that talent, but wish we did, to connect with him and the emotion he conveys. It is poetry. Peace my friend.
Joe Cocker always knew how to make a song his own and his voice is a voice unlike none other. I always felt that people judge a book by it's cover and he was one of them until he opened his mouth and that beautiful voice would bring tears to your eyes. ALWAYS LOVED JOE COCKER
I was born in 1960 so in my teen yrs we had the best 70's music and I love my 60s too but you're right in my day you had to have pure talent, nothing to help you sound better no equipment to cover up what you really sound like. If they had talent it didn't matter what they looked like as you'll see in alot of videos back then but today if you're not pretty, skinny, buff or even have a huge butt forget it. I really miss my youth when we had great music, leave home in the morning and come home when the street lights came on and everyone kept an eye out for each other.
I've got chills and tears in my eyes all the song through.. it's amazing how he needed just a guitar sound and his incredible voice.. to open up a whole world of feelings and deep emotiotions to me..and I think to everyone who's listeing to him .. it's sad to realize that nowdays there's no one who can reply all this.. JK, you're so beautiful .. to me..!!
I love this version with acoustic guitar; so delicate. Joe was one of a kind indeed. I also loved your reaction to Joe’s “With A Little Help From My Friends.” So great to see a young person like yourself appreciate this great singer. Thanks for the video!
I was 14 when this aired on the radio. There was no MTV or anything like that. You heard it first on the radio. Then you bought the record. The 70s music was so good , we took it for granted I guess. Only realized that years later when the music from 80s hit.When he recorded this song and his voice broke at the end , it was so good, they left it like that. I'm 62 now and it does my heart good to see you love this music.
Hello JB this is from the best country in the world PORTUGAL. Joe Cocker was unbelievable. As I see you love amazing voices so please react to Procol Harum a Whiter Shade of Pale live in Denmark. It is amazing. Another amazing group is callad Marillion. Stay safe. Thanks from Portugal
This is my daughter Shannon only 33 yrs 0ld passed in 2018 love you more than anything. I cry every time I hear this song. You are so beautiful sweetheart 💔😭
Thank you for your authenticity and willingness to experience music from your soul! I enjoy your channel! You are right that the industry put's so much attention on image, never giving some very talented people a second look. Keep on making videos!
That's a shame. I hope that changes about videos being blocked. At my church last year, they played this song as they showed images on the screen of church members or their family members who had died during the year. I rarely cry, but I had tears streaming down my face the entire time. This song was a perfect memorial to commemorate people who had passed on.
Joe was from my home city, Sheffield. He was a gas fitter who never lost his roots. Yes, he had his demons, but he always gave everything in every performance. He never sought fame, just to sing anf live the music. None better, ever.
Joe's been around since the 60's. You need to check out Try With A Little Help From My Friends. Amazing. I was lucky enough to see Joe around 1977. RIP Sir❤🙏
He has a awesome voice always loved this one of my favourites, really loved your reaction and you are right image over talant in the world today "sad" .But you are helping to get that message out there thank you music has so much power .💜💜💜💜💜💜UK
Another awesome reaction video bro love Joes voice and don’t forget he was really old here to. There’s a dude named Josh Krajcik who was on X factor in 2011 who has similar voice
Greetings from Brazil. I watch your videos since your first reaction to Nessum Dorma by Luciano Pavarotti, since then you have changed a lot, in my view you are happier and more open to your emotions, it is amazing what music does for us. Congratulations and keep evolving as a man and as a human being
It,s me again ,going back to 80s I recommend you mr mister broken wings live at the ritz 1985 and the taylor dayne love will lead you back official video 2 great song from the 80s their voices will blow your mind
Have been in love with Joe from the beginning. And every time I see him, I cry. His voice only got richer and better. Gone too soon. Will always love him.
Joe has always been animated in his movements when he sang, even in his younger days. Many thought he had a medical issue. He explained that he feels the music throughout his whole body and his motions project that a well as helps him keep his band in step with him.
James, great song by Joe Cocker. Your reaction was priceless. Check out the video In Memory of Joe Cocker. It is a performance at Woodstock in 1969. With A Little Help From My Friends.; A cover from The Beatles SGT. Pepper Album. He was much younger then.
Love love love Joe Cocker since Woodstock but I'm just new to you and you're an upstanding young man, a man of God. But I love your reactions. Can you do Harry Nelson's "Living Without You" it reminds me of my two sons I lost, thanks in advance ❤😁✝️
Joe Cocker does have an amazing voice, but he also has that special , unique "thing" that no one can touch!!! You are absolutely right, that he is truly one of a kind!! This song is quite short, but it really "gets" you and takes you captive!!! Goes to show that a song does not have to be necessarily long to be effective!! And his "undone" look makes it actually more effective to me!!! Try not to get too discouraged about the blocking. I know it can be frustrating, but you cannot give up!!! No, no, no, no, no, no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
