I grew up with Joe Cocker's music. He was an English singer known for his gritty, bluesy voice & dynamic stage performances that featured expressive body movements. He recorded a few Beatles' songs "With A Little Help From My Friends", "She Came In Through The Bathroom Window" & "Something". Other hits were "Up Where We Belong" (a duet with Jennifer Warnes), "Delta Lady", "Darling Be Home Soon", "Cry Me A River", "Feelin' Alright", "The Letter" etc.
Two young men named Billy Preston and Bruce Fisher wrote this song for their 9th album in 1976. Joe Cocker heard it and started singing it in a much slower tempo. It became his highest chart topping solo. You should be a fan, he is such a talent! RIP Thanks Adogg watched it all with you.
I cry every time I hear this. He means every word. It's like he's singing to me. Many people have done this before. Joe's version is a cover. But the best in my opinion. Please listen to more.
"You Are So Beautiful" is a song written by Billy Preston and Bruce Fisher that was first released in 1974 on Preston's ninth studio album, The Kids & Me.
That song has always held a special spot - was the song ny husband picked as our "first dance at our wedding" - we were married 39 yrs when he passed at 61 - miss him daily - song always makes me smile and cry!!! Had many records - so much music in our home - still is. Love these "reaction" videos of music I grew up with. Our tastes ran the whole gambit.
Hi from Italy! He was in my Town - Bolzano- two times in the nineteen, he performed his last songs, not the best of his carreer, but he was great! Rip Joe
Another fun song he does is "She Came In Through The Bathroom Window". The song you're reacting to today was a cover that was recorded in 1974 by Billy Preston who also was one of the two who wrote the song.
Joe Cocker was amazing, I saw him live in concert in Melbourne Australia many years ago - he was truly remarkable.❤❤ His live outdoor version of With A little Help From My Friends is incredible.
I saw Joe Cocker in June 1990 in San Diego. He was the Headline Act that night as his opening act was Stevie Ray Vaughan! He and Stevie would take turns as opening act. They were both fantastic. First heard Joe in 1968, been a fan ever since. You should consider reacting to and
Watch the movie "Woodstock" (the Directors cut) so that you can see Joe's performance...and Jimi Hendrix.. and Santana. The audience at Woodstock was more than 100,000 people.
This is a Leon Russell song (I told you about him wearing the blue hat with Joe at Woodstock, you know, the video you turned off before it actually ended, cause you always in such a big hurry.) Like I said, Leon Russel wrote this song, and everybody in the music industry has covered it so I'm sure you have heard it. Joe also did a duet with someone famous but, old age, I can't remember. Might be Dolly Parton. Check out Joe: "You Can Keep Your Hat On" and then check out Leon Russell with Willie Nelson singing "A Song For You" to Ray Charles on his birthday. You get three of the greatest ever in one song, how's that for incredible? Oh yeah, Leon wrote that one too. It's cold where I am, I'm wearing my Leon Rusell black hoodie.
Yes this is Joe Cocker song and everyone else is covering it. It was created after he done your died of drug addiction but his wife, a lady of color hang in there to the Bone. This was for her
Listen to the version of "cry me a river" from "Mad dogs and Englishmen"....it's sooooo good. I would have given anything to have been at this concert.
Adogg, thanks for covering Joe Cocker again. Would still suggest you give When the Night Comes a listen. And BTW...had my 83 year old mom listen to one of your videos and she thinks you are just so cute!
I saw Joe in the '70s at The Joyous Lake in Woodstock, NY. I was there to see the band Stuff ( Played behind Paul Simon in 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover ) and who came stumbling in, Joe Cocker. He did an impromptu set. It was amazing.
Mr.Adogg nice choice once again!!! Joe Cocker is an amazing talent.Thank u for reacting to this particular song.Rock on Bruthr!!! Its an awesome thing ur doing showing young people the music I grew up listening to. Thank You!
I heard Joe Cocker one time in the late 1980's at a summertime outdoor concert by Lake Ontario. He wasn't young but he poured out the songs the same as ever. 'Da Real Adogg' you would have loved it. Honestly I can still see him singing there on stage.
Just recently came across your channel. And truly enjoy seeing your reactions. I was 16 when Woodstock happened. Allow me to suggest another Woodstock performer. It's on youtube, "Santana - Soul Sacrifice 1969 Woodstock". Rock on!
I think you'd like this. It's kinda like jazz, blues and soul melded together. (...and an inspiring video, I think.): Joe Cocker - Unchain My Heart (Official Video)
Kenny Rogers did the song beautifully. I think I like Kenny's version better I think but both are great. Kenny's voice is smooth and clear Joe's voice is gravelly, raw, and cuts into you like a jagged knife.
Joe Cocker performed With A Little Help From My Friends in 1968 a yr before Woodstock, it is a Beatles cover that hit #1 for the Beatles and Joe Cocker's version went to #5 go figure 😕 the Beatles loved Joe Cocker's version so much when Joe Cocker recorded it in the studio the Beatles were there and John Lennon played guitar on Joe's album. In 1974 he recorded this Billy Preston song You Are So Beautiful that went to #5 and became Joe's signature song, in 1983 he recorded UP Where We Belong with Jennifer Warnes for a movie called An Officer And A Gentleman that went to #1 and he won a Grammy Award. Joe Cocker had an amazing voice so when he came in #97 on the rolling stones top 100 greatest voices of all time I was shocked Joe Cocker could go from rough and powerful to soft and beautiful. Joe Cocker passed away December 22, 2014 of lung cancer. Joe Cocker was an amazing performer and is sadly missed. One song I think you would really like Feeling Alright.
Looks like you have become a real Joe Cocker fan. I can’t wait to hear your reaction to Janis Joplin. You would have loved that concert. It was such a music and love fest.
Cover of Joe's songs? o_O Well, ... let's say: Joe Cocker is the most successfull cover singer of all time! ;-) "You Are So Beautiful" is a song written by Billy Preston and Bruce Fisher that was first released in 1974 ..." < *wiki Joe covered "With A Little Help From My Friends", "Summer In The City", "You Can Leave Your Hat On", "Unchain My Heart" (♥ i love this one by Ray Charles!), etc. pp.
It’s his song he sang it at a much slower tempo than what it was written and made it a hit it has been covered many times but none as good as this I would argue
I never thought Joe would last so long. Thought the lifestyle would get him. I saw him in the beginning and near the end in 2001. Was just as perfect. This was Joe's song. Check out "A Song For You" - Willie Nelson, Ray Charles, Leon Russell
If you like his voice and style then you need to listen to the amazing Phil Driscoll, Christian singer and possibly the best trumpeter in the world. Christ Remains is a very powerful song of his. One of hundreds
My ex husbands favorite song. It is really beautiful and he was always looking at me when it played. The song didn't keep us together, but it brings back sweet memories.
My 21-year-old stepson drowned a month ago saving his older brother and a friend could you please play scars in Heaven by Casting Crowns for him please
It’s no a Joe song but it’s a great song that catches almost everyone off guard, including me. It’s by Bobby Caldwell called What You Won’t do for Love.
