The Ed Sullivan Show was a television variety program that aired on CBS from 1948-1971. For 23 years it aired every Sunday night and played host to the world's greatest talents. The Ed Sullivan Show is well known for bringing rock n' roll music to the forefront of American culture through acts like Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones. The entertainers each week ranged from comedians like Joan Rivers and Rodney Dangerfield, to Broadway stars Julie Andrews and Richard Burton, to pop singers such as Bobby Darin and Petula Clark. It also frequently featured stars of Motown such as The Supremes, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder and The Jackson 5. The Ed Sullivan Show was one of the only places on American television where such a wide variety of popular culture was showcased and its legacy lives on to this day.

My Joe Cocker story is really my wife's. She managed the call center for Netlink, a satellite company back in the 90s. One day, an employee asked her to take a call from a guy he couldn't understand, "Joe somebody." My wife went to university in England so she had no problem understanding the accent on the other end of the phone. Joe Cocker had a ranch up in Vail and had a Netlink satellite. Whenever he wanted to order a pay-per-view or had a technical problem after that, he'd just call Donna. She told him she was a huge fan and always looked forward to hearing from him, so at the end of one of their calls he sang "You Are So Beautiful" over the phone to her.
I think I just peed my pants a little...lucky lady!!
Adorable story❤
What fabulous memories.
Love it!
Wow. Something to tell the grandkids. Great story. Thx for sharing.
The world would have no idea what to do with this guy today. The world had no idea what to do with this guy in the 60s. Talk about being a true original. 2024.
For damn sure!
Yes, A real treasure!
Joe Cocker sang and performed like a man possessed by the spirit of the music that flowed through him. I love the man. RIP Joe.
He was possess by the 'spirit' for the better part of his 1st career. It wasn't the spirit of music though.... it was the spirit of Whiskey.
If it walks like a duck, quacks likes a duck, but it's not a duck, it's probably possessed by the evil spirit of a duck! lol
77 years old just found this! DAMN!!!!!!!!?
This is so appropriately stated! It sums up his soulful style of singing.
I loved John Belushi's impersonation of Joe!
Mr. Joe Cocker Definitely Deserve to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Sadly they have to make room for such "rock and roll" icons as LL Cool J.
Yes they should..
10 times over
Man what a fkn unique talent lol,love it
Not before all of the black people he ripped off go in. Great voice but be real.
Goodness, he was only 24 when this aired. That unique voice always made him sound older.
God love Joe, but that's what happens when you smoke 2 packs a day for over 40 years. He was smoking 2 packs a day until the 90's.
Insane voice though, through and through.
His voice sounded that way since he was 12 ….He was born with that fabulous instrument 🥰
Wow, I didn't realize that! 24???? Sounds Much older, you are right!! Loved this!!!!! 74 and Still loving it!!!😊
Let's get this guy into the Rock and Roll hall of fame. Way overdue.
He's not in yet!!!! 😮😢
Never will forget the first time I heard this. I was a young teen. 65 today. It was on a really GOOD stereo and it was loud. Still love it..
Yesss! Still best heard loud!
Sum 1,000. Watt speakers??😊
Utterly iconic - no one could make a song sound like he did.
Original is from Traffic by Dave Mason.
Ray charles
Ray charles
Yes indeed your absolutely right. To me he was fantastic.
One of the greatest voices in rock and roll history. A true icon.
Absolutely.
Agree with that,what I find a little weird is I can understand everything he sings,not like some people
Doesn't matter who wrote or performed the song first, once Joe did it, it was his.
Preach!
This.
Beatles produce a hit, Joe Cocker takes and says "this is mine now". Literally topped the original on every song he ever covered.
Dave mason
I like how the backup dancers moves are well choreographed while Joe Cocker is just up there doing his own thing.
I'm picturing frantic activity as stages were built and choreography planned in a day or two after the musical guest arrived in town for the show
It must have been bedlam
Once Joe covers your song he owns it!
oh my never a truer word said joe cocker a one in a million
This is so true! Even "A Little Help From My Friends". Go figure. It was never the same again after Joe Cocker did his cover.
@@marcia153I doubt if the Beatles ever performed it again after Joe Cocker.
There is so much going on in this recording .
Drums , piano ,Joe cocker,of
course , the dancers and the song itself .
Drum sets do not sound like Bongo drums. Great song, but not a live performance. Both Bongos and actuals drums in the recording track.
Such a legendary voice.
Yes, a great Soul raspy range ...-Mr. Joe Cr💖cker: legendary Icon.-🎶🎼
Right on!
Agreed💯%
My grandparents were born in 1895 and 1898, and they never missed Ed Sullivan. I’m trying to picture them watching this in 1969, my grandmother in her smock dress and my grandfather in his farmer overalls. How the world turns.
My grandmother was born in 1914 and when the Beatles appeared on Sullivan in 64, she loved em! I was 10.
And Elvis, James Brown, the Doors, the Stones and the Rascals
A lot of musical history was seen live on Ed sullivan. I wonder if a live variety show like Ed Sullivan could succeed today.
That’s a cool memory you shared - a little snippet of how multiple generations used to view TV together - a bygone era.
@@Appleholic1 It would if we could bring back Joe Cocker, the Rascals, Doors & Grass Roots to do the show
I have never seen Joe this young or in a setting like this! The dancers are hilarious! 😆
Everything about this was hilarious.
it's like a "Star Trek" episode..."beam me up Scotty"....freekin' bizarre
That's how it looked in the 1960s, nowdays it does look funny, but the whole genre was being invented at the time. A great time to grow up.
Look at how pretty & slender all of them are! Thirty yrs from now the youth will be laughing at how people in 2023 danced.
Hilarious compared to what?
Todays dancers?
I love how the dancers display the lifting freedom of Joe's soul in this song.
This is the first time I saw Joe Cocker as a young man. I would have never recognized him except for his voice.
He had a great band. Always perfect. His first album was monumental. Brings back great memories. Turntables , candles , incense, wine, black lights and smoke.
Y un churro de mota 😅
Yes, and our own imagination, to envision whatever, after we read the album cover. No MTV & videos to distract from Hearing the Music.
Henry McCullough on lead guitar - would later become the lead guitarist for Wings (Paul McCartney). Terrific player, R.I.P.
Chris Stainton on keys.
Jimmy Page and Steve Winwood played on that album.
April 1969. What a great year it was.
Joe Cocker was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. His voice will be played 1000 yrs from now and that generation will be amazed too.
His timing is impeccable although his arms have a timing of their own. Love this man!
Notice they are right on beat
His pitch and timing is flawless. Unbelievable what he can sing live.
DITTO MAN SOME OF THE BEST PIPES EVER. LOVED THIS GUY. MY GENERATION.
I agree, but this performance was obviously lip synced.
He's lip-syncing. He just did a great job doing it.
There are those who entertain.
Amd then there are those
like Joe Cocker,
Who truly believe in what they do.
There's just something about the combination of the 60's fashion and dancing that I love. And Joe Cocker is incredible.
He can feel every note deeply. How spiritual it would be to be in his presence.
Those dancer were throwing shapes at him.
Too bad JESUS/YESHUA is missing in this message.
Boy even with all the Dancing going on all around him…
and that Seinfeld Shirt,
Cocker STILL manages to mesmerizes you with his Performance! OUTSTANDING 👏🏼
I've been waiting for this since it was announced that the Ed Sullivan Archives were going to be released. So glad we didn't have to hold out for too long. This is Joe's first US TV appearance. In four months he'll be all mutton chops, tie dye, dripping with sweat and still fierce as hell.
Why, oh why did the Ed Sullivan Show channel and UA-cam allow the end to be obscured with stupid ads?
Forever the Soul Energizer Icon Mr. Joe CR🌟CKER.
Indeed!
Why the stupid ads? In show business there's "show" and there's "business." Deal with it.
Because it's not about you, it's about business.
Better than Dave Mason,that is for sure.For some reason ,I could not figure out why,now I know.He pronounces words so you can understand them.Mason partially does,mumbles the rest of the time.
Dressed for the times, a voice for all time. A true natural.
I've been listening to him for 60 years now. I had all his albums I also saw him at Woodstock. Thank you
R.I.P Joe Cocker (May 20, 1944 - December 22, 2014), aged 70
You will be remembered as a legend.
No matter what Joe sang, it became a Soul classic.
One of the best covers of all time. Not sure too many people know that Dave Mason was only 19 when he wrote this song. Love them both. Saw Dave again last year in Annapolis, and he still has it, and he released a remake of this that is definitely worth checking out.
Finally!! The famous Joe Cocker with the dancing ladies clip!!
Once upon a time we had real music. Here it is.
Visiting my cousin in New York in '69, her roommate Emily held up Joe Cocker's first album and said "This white boy's got soul!". And the rest was history ~
Man! That is one HOT soundstage... everyone is on fire here. Maybe the funkiest, hippest number I ever saw on Ed Sullivan's show...?
Ed Sullivan was always so groovy. Love the prancing dancers.
I’m so glad I got to see him perform. He does such a great John Belushi!
MovieMakingMan. U mean VICE/VERSA!!
Haha. In reality Belushi wasn't fit to clean Joe's shoes!
Maybe so but I’d say here he’s more of Tom Jones meets Ray Charles and I mean that as a compliment. My grandparents were from Sheffield. Cheers from Montreal.
@@johngore7744 That’s an interesting blend. But it sounds good. Btw, I’m from Montreal. It’s always great to hear from fellow Canadians. I miss Canada.
Oh man the 60s and 70s more than rocked-It was a movement the likes the world never seen or experienced.
FINALLY!!! I've been waiting for this clip for years!
Você não merece o menor perdão. Eu realmente não acredito nisso. Parabéns, eu caí nessa :D
@@elevyncruz I can't understand
@@beatlesss9592 traslate, bruh.
So many worthy comments here. Even though Joe performed ever so modestly. Probably didn't even take any LSD that day. : )
Love and miss ya Joe! So grateful to be rocking with you in your videos. RIP Joe!
He owns every song he sings - which is a real talent.
F A N T A S T I C
Love the over saturated color designed specifically for the new color TVs.
Part of it was the ostentatious use of the color in the set design, lighting and costumes; the other was the Marconi Mark VII color cameras put into the Ed Sullivan Theatre in 1967 (while there was a special variant of the Norelco PC-70 - dubbed PC-71, with a mumetal shield to counter the magnetic field of a nearby subway substation transformer - in the studio whose performance CBS was pleased with, it seems they had to put the remaining Marconis - ordered for use in their O&O stations everywhere but New York - somewhere, as Philadelphia's WCAU-TV went with the infamous RCA TK-42 cameras whilst WBBM-TV Chicago, KMOX-TV St. Louis and KNXT Los Angeles all had Mark VII's installed in their respective studios).
trippy man!
@@wmbrown6 wow. If I asked you what time it is, would you tell me how to build a watch? Lol.
Nice explanation of the technical aspects of what it took to create the images of the day.
This song is among the ten best songs I have ever heard in my life, I was 12 years old when this song was published and I remember it very well. I continue listening to him and I continue to be fascinated by the unmatched strength of him and Joe Cocker. Great video.
Written by Steve Winwood .First performed by Traffic .
Owned by Joe Cocker
This is a song written by Dave Mason.
You must be old as dirt 😂
@@dorothymartin4316Written by Dave Mason, of Traffic. Winwood may have helped.
I love these dancers as well, and the musicians do too. Love the energy from the girl in the dark brown hip hugger corduroys....sheesh
One of my favorite songs of any genre...hadn't seen this. Love the dancers! This is Joe singing live lead vocal to the original studio recording, and what a great job Joe did here! The musicians are going through the motions [some more believably than others]. By the way, famed Wrecking Crew bassist Carol Kaye was on the studio recording...what a fantastic bass line she played on this! I notice Joe was a very good looking man in his young years.
Out-frigging-standing! Joe could belt it out like no one else!
Amazingly powerful voice! Thanks for all the great music Joe!
THERE WILL NEVER BE ANYONE AS TALENTED AS JOE COCKER!!!
Exactly mate
Joe Cocker performed at my little hometown early 90s, he absolutely belted every classic hit from his vault. What an incredible 3 minute video,shades of 1969,Woodstock era. RIP Joe
I really did not appreciate how awesome these songs were when I was a kid.
What a great time to be alive
First time seeing this and just had to turn it up,its fab ! I'll forgive his dress sense
I also remember the first time I heard Joe Cocker. I still really enjoy his music! Had his own unique sound. Brings back some great memories for me. He had the soulful sound of a man who survived some ups and downs of life. Joe was the man.
I can't help watching SNL & Jim Belushi sliding out & imitating Joe. AWESOME MASTERPIECES ❤
All time king of the "covers".
I love Joe Cocker.
Honoring one of the greatest today!
A legend! And the high water bell bottoms....C L A S S I C!!
on his way to being a superstar then. still miss him. RIP joe, gone but never forgotten.
Priceless memories. May you Rest In Peace, Joe, Amen!
If you can be too cool Joe sure was close . One of the greatest ever.
This clip is pure fantasy! His moves, the choreography, his outfit...
I don't get tired to see it and listen to it...😍
when Joe Cocker first appeared in the music scene, people wondered who the hell is this guy. Turns out he was fantastic with a voice all his own. His later concerts were his best. With Chris Stanton on piano!
I saw Joe perform at the Denver Pop Festival with the Grease Band a few months after this Ed Sullivan gig. He was back to being his old grubby, disheveled self in true hippie garb, and he was playing that herky-jerky air guitar as he belted out one great song after another. He also played the following night. I do admire, though, how he was able to smooth all that out for Ed -- his dancing in place while singing is great, very rhythmic. It really is a nice up-close look at Joe singing a great song. Dave Mason's original was good, but just like With a Little Help From My Friends he changes it up and owns it. Magnificent.
This was really really good. Didn't know Joe Cocker performed on Ed Sullivan.
The recording is outstanding
Better than the album?
@@Music--ng8cd thanks for your question.
The recording is outstanding for 2 reasons.
The age of the recording; it's nearly 60 years old.
And the era it was recorded. The technology then was no where near what we have today
Plus the camera work and editing was top notch for it's time also
In my opinion, this video "proves" that the "original voice" was a lot better than his voice through the years. He sang the highest and lowest in a really nicer and clearer way.
He was an amazing singer RIP.
Eric Clapton said that Joe Cocker was the best male voice to come out of Britain. I have to agree.
I like the way Joe uses emphasis and anger in his singing.
Oh how I miss Joe Cocker. No one like him. Love the Grease Band to.
Hello Rose how are you doing!!
For me it was the first time I seen Mr. Cocker, I was 20 ish, blew me away, made a fan for life
Love the way he dances
I would love to be dancing there! My 1st concert in about 72, I was in grade 9 baby, his band was brilliance!.
What a voice. ❤
Wow I’m a millennial and just learning his music. I heard this song growing up and never knew he sang it! What a voice, what a career!
At 70 I remember when Joe set us on fire with this…..there’s only one Joe and he’s awesome !!
This is the best. I'm just looping it and dancing to it in my office. Joe, wow dude. God bless you.
I love that footage like this survives. I love the internet and UA-cam for making it available. And I looooove wh9ever posted it. Thanks a bunch.😅
The one and only! Mad Dog! What a powerful and wonderful voice he had! The world will always miss him! Thank you for posting this marvelous video! Greetings from Mexico!
Wow. What a blast from the past.
Great !!!!!
Wow - what a killer grove. The bass player is so awesome in this song!..think we'll ever see this in any American Idol/Americas got talent set??? I doubt it. RIP Joe!
Such a unique and clear voice when he was a young man.
Joe. You sang with your whole body.
He fills my heart with such joy, completely. One more time.
Oh,God,i'm in heaven again.Absolutely AWESOME.A billion thanx.
This is the first time I've seen young Cocker looking clean shaven and trendily dressed. Plus I could understand every word he sang for a change. Love the guy but he was definitely a shock to the system especially with Mad Dogs and Englishmen.
This video makes me feel groovy and outta' sight!!
"...RIGHT ON!"
Love it when he notices the dancers coming out, surprised. He looks back and gives them that “how you doing” nod.
I can only imagine Ed Sullivan stroking out those last few years with such stage designs and artists like Joe.
What a voice for the ages. A Dave Mason song rocked out. The dancers giving their best and the band is rock solid
What an extraordinary talent Joe Cocker was, and I feel so lucky to grow up in the 60's and 70's , I just wish I would have seen him live, Like at Woodstock in 1969! I don't think that Joe needed these dancers, but man are they awesome, especially the dancer in the lavender dress, she is so hot, and she looks like Suzanne Pleshette . What great times these were!
Thank you so much for your music Joe Cocker, RIP.
Absolutely fabulous! Cocker, the dancers and everything..
Thank God for UA-cam. I always thought that Joe Cocker started his career in the 1980s. I see now that he had a very long career way back from 1960s. I must admit i barely recognized him as a very young man.
Just found this, and wow, a hecka performance. Rock on and groovy...
This man could turn any song into gold. That voice cannot be duplicated ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Man that guy could sing.
Absolute brilliance.
My hat go's off to Joe Cocker, i saw him live in VancouverB.C. back in 2000 when he did the opening for the Steve Miller Band. Joe put on one hell of a show for 1 full hour and WOW was he something!!!! Im so glad i got the chance to see him live before he passed away, R.I.P. JOE COCKER!!!
