And they just wrote standard letters to people who started a campaign to get him inducted not too long before he died. As if he was a random nobody being suggested by a handful of ignorant claqueurs. The man had a career that's longer and had more ups and downs than half a dozen other artists taken together.
I once looked out my back window and witnessed a whirlwind of butterflies taking place in my back yard. I had never seen anything like it before or since, nor have I ever heard anyone else describe such a thing. It was literally a vortex, a little mini-tornado of living things spinning around just for me. There was no one else around, and the thought of taking my eyes off of it, even long enough to grab my phone or a camera never crossed my mind. I just froze in the moment, trying to allow my brain time to take it all in. That was kind of what being at a Joe Cocker concert was like. He was a force of nature.
Joe had a sad life in his younger rears. Was a hardcore alcoholic. The later got sober, married and lived a beautiful life. I was so happy for him! I love joe!
Met this "Beautiful" man in '86 with only two other people in the room and got to go to his "You Can Leave Your Hat On" video shoot. Such a great experience for me. I will never forget every part of that afternoon. He was so polite and charming. R.I.P. Joe!
We have a musician in Denmark who is dead now he was around the 90’s so that’s was a very good Farrell.. but he said at one point that people who got talent was mostly alright people and such but people without could be giant jerks.. so it’s sounds like it’s fits Mr Cocker right.. he was a very talented and nice person..
I live in Western Colorado, about 2 hours from Joe's Ranch in Crawford. Every year he and Pam would put on a huge yard sale at their gorgeous house, all to benefit kids in the local area. One year I scored a pair of black Cole Haan Nike Air dress shoes that Joe wore in a couple of concerts in Australia and New Zealand. They are my pride and joy, and I wear them often. We also used to see Joe here and there in Paonia, the closest town to the Ranch. He was just a normal, local dude.....We lost a lot when Joe passed. RIP my man......
@@jamelakajamal Thank you so much. I love the passion you show for Joe. He really was and for those who've actually listened to him. A one of a kind sound.
Joe Cocker was a very sensitive guy who dealt with bouts of depression. His pathos comes from being in touch with some deep stuff. Shout out to Billy Preston for writing this beautiful song ❤️
Hey, Jamel - You hit the nail on the head when you said “No cell phones. Memories are all up here.”🧠🧠🧠 This is the ultimate concert experience. See the performer, connect through your heart ❤️💜❤️ and soul, feel it in your bones 🦴 🦴🦴, feel it for the rest of your life. No cell phone filters or phony “lighter” pictures. Nothing like waiving a match or lighter until your fingers burn. No “official” videos then, but bootlegs always easily available. PLEEAASSEE check out Van Morrison soon. I see lots of people requesting Van. You will love him. Best song: “Caravan.” Now I’m going to fold laundry hearing Joe Cocker and Van Morrison in my head. Peace/Out - 😈🌹😈
So insightful of you to get that, and the fact that he sings with such passion with his whole body-it builds up in that barrel chest and fights it's way out of his mouth-he's amazing!
Whenever Joe sang a ballad I always worried about what he might've been through in his personal life..because in between lines, when his face was still, you could see pain there. Not those grimaces when he sang but the stillness in between.💙
Joe Cocker one of the best of all time Jamal you’re a cool dude you are doing the world a good deed by sharing all this beautiful music that everyone should be enjoying
Yeah, that was before all the cops realized that they could just up and beat someone to death for the sheer joy of beating someone to death and have absolutely nothing happen to them.
I had the honor of hearing Joe live at the Cotillion Ball Room. Small place (500 people maybe) but it was packed. You could have heard a pin drop when he sang this. People were crying by the time he finished.
Jamel, Been a musician a long time and have seen many,many concerts. I was living in Vegas and went to see Joe Cocker. They started playing the tune "Unchain My Heart" and I witnessed a crowd reaction I've never seen before. It was thrilling to see the sudden excitement and effect it had on the audience ! What a tune. Joe was meant to sing this one. Yuma,AZ.
I am 46 years young and I grew up listening to a lot of music. The 80's where known for one hit wonders. It has been so fun seeing your reaction to some great artist. Good music should take you on a journey and make you feel. So much talent over the decades long before our sound guys and tech guys came into play. Most of those bands just got together had a great time playing when they were hot they were hot. Thank you for sharing with another generation what music was like before MTV. Most of these songs I can remember hearing for my first time. Thanks man for keeping music alive. I need to start listening to more music. They just dont make songs like they used to.
It's criminal that he is not in Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.... Dude's voice was rough because he smoked 40 cigarettes a day.... Greatest R&B Voice ever...
JOES manager said the reason for his movements and facial expressions on stage ,was that the music coarsed through his body and that's how it manifested itself when he performed on stage although he's gone from us he left us a wealth of music thank you Joe
I was so lucky to see him perform 19 or 20 yrs ago. 40 yrs. before we worried how long he'd be with us. A tidier & healthier looking Joe could still sing you to beyond! Thank you, Joe, for all the magic!
I really appreciated your comment about no cell phones/trying to capture the moment. I have seen the before and the after of cell phones thru this and you are right: it is like you get to experience the music instead of any distraction of-“Did I catch him doing that?” = no stress just enjoyment. Insightful Jamel. 👏🏻
Like I said before; you've got an old soul. You appreciate the finer aspects. "No cell phones, all in the memory". In other words, living the experience in real time.
Don't know if you've done this song already, but he does a great cover of the Traffic song "Feeling Alright" Like everything he does it's full of passion and see him wear the song.
I played the acoustic guitar version of this song for my daughter when she was 1 day old. It was one of the most beautiful things I'll always remember.
Every word is ripped from his soul he seemed too feel it all never saw him live a deep regret he deserves to get much much more respect for his talent, loveit
Played this way back when my daughter was born. She's grown and gone,but every time I hear it it brings me back to that special day. God bless you Joe.✌️❤️
This is blues/soul wrapped into one and that is what Joe Cocker brings us. Leon Russell is the one to thank for bringing Joe to the front line so listen to Mad Dog and Englishman and you will enjoy Joe Cocker, one of the greats by far....RIP Joe Cocker & Leon Russell as well...
Jamel -- Shout out to you! I'm an old white guy but I love watching your videos and your reaction to artists you know little about. Keep up the great work!! I was lucky enough to see Joe Cocker live in 1981 and he was fantastic! R.I.P. Joe !!
Remember Steve Winwood !! Playing drums and guitar at 8 years old ! Blue-eyed Soul ! Famous famous famous and his music is full of joy, mostly.There are drums ! Valerie, While You See a Chance, Higher Love ! Thank you for sharing you !!
I bought this album for this song back in the day. Love your comment "shout out to the old days", ha, "before cell phones and everyone was listening." We were! 🎵
I have had the honour of seeing JC live many times over the years in Sydney Australia where I live. Only live can you appreciate the power of his voice and emotion. He gave his all at every concert. R.I.P. to a legend. Why,why,why, has he not been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame???
The best concert I didn't go to. He came to my tiny town, it seemed like the whole town went, I was broke and couldn't go. I lived a so close to the venue. I went and sulked miserably in the pool, all by myself. Next thing I hear music start and Joe start to sing. It was so clear, like he was sitting on the edge of the pool a foot away from me. I listened to that whole concert crying with happiness. I wrote and thanked him.
Autotune is a blight! It kills any humanity or soul in a track. Same goes for quantising everything to death and cut-and-paste production. Give me the truth of a performance, with all the rough edges, every time.
@@DDubyah17 You must be younger than me. It has nothing to do with how bands perform It is how they sound to the listener. LPs had a much more raw and natural sound than CDs, just like singing did before Autotune. Anyone over 50 will agree with that ...
M K ah, sorry mate. My bad. I misunderstood you. Thought you were dismissing my thoughts about autotune as a complaint from a Luddite. I actually agree with you. (I’m 47, so not much in it :))
In the 1980s I worked in a hotel in Amsterdam where he stayed... He sat in the bar where I worked but we had a closing time at two am, but he wanted to drink more.. I said, yeah but tomorrow is my birthday too, so I wanna go to bed... He asked, you got a piano? Yeah, I said... But anyway, if you keep the tab open, I'll play at your birthday... I did not believe him, but against city rules I kept the bar open for him... Two hours later, completely shitfaced he went to his room... with a 2500 dollar tab... Next day, 10 PM, the doorbell rang... there were about 60 people in my house for my birthday party... I opened the door and there he was, the legend... he came up the stairs and played for an hour... fed with beer and whiskey... nHe stumbled drunk but happy into a taxi... never ever shall forget the goodness of this man...
If this doesn't bring a tear to your eye, you aren't human!
The quiet is called RESPECT for an artist
The fact he's not in the rocknroll Hof is a crime
me an mm eye om spot on. It’s a hand job.
me an mm eye om I see what you did there... lol
What a joke, but shit bands like the Sex Pistols and Kiss are in. Cocker is the white Ray Charles, hes amazing.
And they just wrote standard letters to people who started a campaign to get him inducted not too long before he died. As if he was a random nobody being suggested by a handful of ignorant claqueurs. The man had a career that's longer and had more ups and downs than half a dozen other artists taken together.
I agree 100%.
I'll say it again. Cocker's voice "scrapes your soul to the bone."
Well said my friend!
And one that raw bone is exposed, it starts to crunch that bone down
I just love that a young man like Jamel gets it.
exactly, me too, because nowadays nobody knows all these greats
Joe “Freaking” Cocker!!!! Pure vocal and emotional sincerity!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Way ta say it brah!👍💪
Indeed!
Unfortunately dead
He's not perfect...but he gives you everything he has ... awesome
Brotha Joe was a True English Soul Singer 👍🏽
His instrument is his voice and it takes his whole body to play it.
Couldn’t agree more, Freddie used his body & soul the same
Perfectly said!
"This man did not skip no days" Awesome comment!
You REEEALLLLLY NEED to hear him do "I Put A Spell On You"!!! OMG!!!!
He believed and felt every word he was singing.
You could see the emotion wrung out in his body and on his face because he Did feel every word.
I don't think there are too many singers that give as much effort as this guy. Every muscle and ounce of energy in his body
Wow. What an artist and voice
Brings tears to my eyes, especially when thinking about those I sing this to in my heart - my babies- all grown up now.
Me too! I sent him, Patty LaBelle n Billy Preston at the Apollo to my daughter on her birthday.
They played this song at my wedding as I walked down the isle. Been married 43 years!
I would have cried all the way.
That’s so awesome! Congratulations!!! I’ve been married for 42. :))
I sang this to my first born
baby boy 1976 blessed
Excellent choice.If I ever did it again,mine would be Etta James,At Last
I have always thought he was so sexy in a slightly creepy way.
Joe 's singing was straight from the soul, and involved every part of his body.
I once looked out my back window and witnessed a whirlwind of butterflies taking place in my back yard. I had never seen anything like it before or since, nor have I ever heard anyone else describe such a thing. It was literally a vortex, a little mini-tornado of living things spinning around just for me. There was no one else around, and the thought of taking my eyes off of it, even long enough to grab my phone or a camera never crossed my mind. I just froze in the moment, trying to allow my brain time to take it all in. That was kind of what being at a Joe Cocker concert was like. He was a force of nature.
Joe had a sad life in his younger rears. Was a hardcore alcoholic. The later got sober, married and lived a beautiful life. I was so happy for him! I love joe!
He was Beautiful!
I have a special needs son with CP that I play and sing this song for and he just loves it.
Thats beautiful ❤️
Met this "Beautiful" man in '86 with only two other people in the room and got to go to his "You Can Leave Your Hat On" video shoot. Such a great experience for me. I will never forget every part of that afternoon. He was so polite and charming. R.I.P. Joe!
We have a musician in Denmark who is dead now he was around the 90’s so that’s was a very good Farrell.. but he said at one point that people who got talent was mostly alright people and such but people without could be giant jerks.. so it’s sounds like it’s fits Mr Cocker right.. he was a very talented and nice person..
I seen and heard this many times but this time was emotional. Wow! 66 year old cowboy tears.
XOXO cowboy 💙💙
No shame in that, I have amazing memories growing up listening to this song.
It still gets to me at 47.
Hey I’m 61 and crying my eyes out. God I miss him. ♥️
“The Letter” another cover of a hit song that he made his. The live version with Leon Russell.
Also "She Came in Through The Bathroom Window"
Oh God yes. Leon Russell.. amazing!
Great song!
Leon Russell also gave Joe Cocker Delta Lady. Sadly they had a falling out and split.
OMG.. Leon Russel another one of my favorites! Back to the island!!

There will never be another like Joe Cocker. ✌🌍🎵
Listen to "You can leave your hat on - Joe Cocker" he's such a great artist. I can't believe he's gone now.
He has that reaction of dude and it is awesome

@@jamelakajamal Thank you so much. I love the passion you show for Joe. He really was and for those who've actually listened to him. A one of a kind sound.
La primera banda que la interpretó fué Three Dog Night.
*I was born the summer this song came out. My mama said she would sing this to me. Thanks Jamel. Made me cry.*
Joe Cocker was a very sensitive guy
who dealt with bouts of depression.
His pathos comes from being in touch with some deep stuff. Shout out to Billy Preston for writing this beautiful song ❤️
I did not know Preston wrote this...I learned something this day...thank you.. take it from the top....
i thought the beach boys drummer wrote it
and Bruce Fisher ! this is such a beautiful song and Joe Cocker is the best to perform it !
Hey, Jamel -
You hit the nail on the head when you said
“No cell phones. Memories are all up here.”🧠🧠🧠
This is the ultimate concert experience.
See the performer, connect through your heart ❤️💜❤️ and soul, feel it in your bones
🦴 🦴🦴, feel it for the rest of your life.
No cell phone filters or phony “lighter” pictures.
Nothing like waiving a match or lighter until your fingers burn.
No “official” videos then, but bootlegs always easily available.

This is the best love song of all time. IMHO Every time I hear it, Joe's raw power and breathtaking sincerity bring tears of joy. Best love song ever.
Yes yes yes, he sang with his whole body, you got that right. He was truly a gift to this earth. RIP brother Joe.🤘
That's one of those songs that will still be played in a 100 years!
Joe Cocker one of the best of all time Jamal you’re a cool dude you are doing the world a good deed by sharing all this beautiful music that everyone should be enjoying
I saw joe cocker in Lowell mass in the 80's after about 3 hours even the cops just sat back and enjoyed the show
Yeah, that was before all the cops realized that they could just up and beat someone to death for the sheer joy of beating someone to death and have absolutely nothing happen to them.

His whole heart is there!!
Nothing to hide behind with this simplicity, tempo...Joe's voice and his emotion always evokes emotion in the listener. Great performer!
A voice like no other. He was an icon from the 60"s, made his big break at Woodstock, I love the man and the pure feeling he put into song. Amen Joe.
Nobody has ever sung a song with that kind of emotion and feeling..
Back in the day at a concert, if you loved the song, everyone would light their cigarette lighter. It was magical.
I played the acoustic guitar version of this song for my daughter when she was 1 day old. It was one of the most beautiful things I'll always remember.
That was a moving performance. Thanks Jamel for bringing this one to us.
Him singing Have a Little Faith in Me is one of my fave songs ever and has been for decades. I listen to him regularly. He was amazing.
He brings me to tears. I always wanted to see him. Love, love, love him!
Every word is ripped from his soul he seemed too feel it all never saw him live a deep regret he deserves to get much much more respect for his talent, loveit
Those definitely were the days.
RIP Mr. Cocker. Thank you very much for your music.
One my favorite singers..Love this song..Do Grandmas hands live Carnegie Hall..Bill Withers

Van Morrison is always good,at any time of the day or night.

Joe is amazing
Beautiful ,,just Beautiful ,,,,,no words to describe 💖❤💕
With a little help from my friends live in 1969 Woodstock. The Letter is gold also.
Joe sings with his whole body, heart and soul. It's all on the line.
I enjoy your reactions. Pure and honest. You are a good dude! RIP Joe!
So simple a song... just goes right to your heart and so beautiful.

Man, that just does something to you when you watch him sing. He was so beautifully unique.
You are the best thing on the internet.
He was able to transport his raw emotion to our ears like very few knew how. He was the TRUTH before we knew what that was.
He just lays it all out there. No theatrics, just pure emotion. Rest in peace, Joe. Thank you for doing this video.
I have had the honour of seeing JC live many times over the years in Sydney Australia where I live. Only live can you appreciate the power of his voice and emotion. He gave his all at every concert. R.I.P. to a legend. Why,why,why, has he not been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame???
You display a lot of wisdom, Jamel.
Thanks Jamel. You honored this amazing performance!!
Thanks for the music. Life was a struggle for many years for him. I hope he knew that his music was meaningful to others.
How do you not have tear form in your eye when listening to this? One of those songs...
One of my favorites is "When the Night Comes" it is such a great song! His voice is just so soulful! What a talent! ❤️
He sings like singing is a martial art - his whole body is in tune with the delivery.
Joe was great I'm glad I got to see him twice live before he passed away
The best concert I didn't go to. He came to my tiny town, it seemed like the whole town went, I was broke and couldn't go. I lived a so close to the venue.
