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 👏🏼
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.
He had a great band. Always perfect. His first album was monumental. Brings back great memories. Turntables , candles , incense, wine, black lights and smoke.
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.
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!
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!
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!
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.
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!!!
He sure cleaned up nice after his performance at Woodstock. I loved him then and even more now. I miss him. I still have his first vinyl album which I bought new at the time. His version of "With a Little Help from my Friends" was approved by the Beatles before he recorded it. What a class act. He even had a great sense of humor when he performed on SNL (the old, original and best cast when it focused on entertainment instead of politics) with John Belushi, who mirrored his body movements. Many decades later, his performance in the movie, "Across the Universe" in different characters showed even more of his talent.
Always wondered ,why the spastic body movements..but now I know it was Joe's method of pulling that wonderful, magical voice up and out of his soul, loved you since hearing your Woodstock recording at 12 ,always will. Some sports were meant to sing, thank God he found his calling
Nice. We can forgive them for miming all but his voice because he sings so well over the recording of Leon and company. A great voice, a great song, a great performance.
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.
Does it get any better? Smokin' Joe Cocker does a Dave Mason song with the legendary L.A. Wrecking Crew behind him? Wow. I played songs on the radio from coast to coast and have to say this is an all time favorite. Who couldn't love it?
To all the people who think that Leon Russell helped Joe Cocker along in some way, Joe needed no help, he was huge in 1968 and 1969 from Woodstock and Little Help from my Friends way before he even was saddled with Russell
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?
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.
@@lloydmoss217 Background vocals are but not Joe Cocker, he is singing live. The Rolling Stones did the same on Ruby Tuesday and Lets spend the night together, Mick is singing live, backup vocals arent
Just found this clip, Joe looking pretty swish in his glad rags. I put my new Cocker Happy LP on mums Stereo gram in 72, her Dad was a Jazz band member she loved music espevially the 60s afro Blues, hearing Joe not knowing who it was? she said these Afro Americans have got wonderful voices...I never corrected her until she played the LP weeks later & was confused as she read the cover...😂 Probably never hear another like Joe. RIP❤
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.
Excellent! Thank you for posting. Mr. Cocker was a one of a kind entertainer. Nice to see something other than his over the top performance at Woodstock.
I wish I had a dollar for every time I jammed out this song for a Saturday matinee, when doing six-nighters in bars was a full-time job. It's the same two chords back and forth, an easy groove. Doing "The Letter" was better.
Chris Stainton is a monster on the electric piano even tho it's pre-recorded.The grease Band highly Underated too.I loved the big Mad Dogs band but give me the Grease Band anyday of the week.
Wow..Joey..all primmed up...with the original "Grease Band". BEFORE he went full-freaky...and recruited Leon Russell & Rita Coolidge Nice close up of "Crazy-Man" drummer Jim Gordon. I saw the MD&E show in Ed Sullivan's home town of Port Chester NY a year after this performance. 🤩
CON MUCHO RESPETO GRACIAS POR EXISTIR. GRANDE GIGANTE JOE COCKER. QUE MANERA DE EXPRESAR CON TODO SU CUERPO .GRANDE HERMANO 😆❤👍👋✌.SIMPLEMENTE GIGANTE ENTRE LOS GIGANTES. ATTE. JORGE OMAR VALENZUELA SANHUEZA SANTIAGO CHILE. HASTA SIEMPRE.
I'm glad I got to live through the 60s and 70s. Spirit world was on fire. Why all of these people appeared in the 60s. It could have happened after Jesus himself was on this earth but it didn't. It happened in the 60 and I'm thankful igot to live through it.
I went to see Stevie ray Vaughan at the gorge in George ,WA. Stevie opened for joe which I was dis appointed with until Joe Cocker took the stage ,sounds silly but it was the best concert I think I've ever seen ,fan forever
His pitch and timing is flawless. Unbelievable what he can sing live.
All time king of the "covers".
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 👏🏼
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??😊
I love how the dancers display the lifting freedom of Joe's soul in this song.
I love Joe Cocker.

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.
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.
I've been listening to him for 60 years now. I had all his albums I also saw him at Woodstock. Thank you
Man! That is one HOT soundstage... everyone is on fire here. Maybe the funkiest, hippest number I ever saw on Ed Sullivan's show...?
what a great vibe ! Joe was an amazing performer....mesmerizing ! I just love the dancing, fun fun fun ! Warm greeetings all the way from Brazil

This clip is pure fantasy! His moves, the choreography, his outfit...
I don't get tired to see it and listen to it...😍
Out-frigging-standing! Joe could belt it out like no one else!
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!

For me it was the first time I seen Mr. Cocker, I was 20 ish, blew me away, made a fan for life

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 can't help watching SNL & Jim Belushi sliding out & imitating Joe. AWESOME MASTERPIECES ❤
He fills my heart with such joy, completely. One more time.
Does it get any better? Smokin' Joe Cocker does a Dave Mason song with the legendary L.A. Wrecking Crew behind him? Wow. I played songs on the radio from coast to coast and have to say this is an all time favorite. Who couldn't love it?
Honoring one of the greatest today!
One of the best performances, dancing music videos on UA-cam. Hands down.
He was my very first concert at the Forum!
Such a unique and clear voice when he was a young man.
THERE WILL NEVER BE ANYONE AS TALENTED AS JOE COCKER!!!
Exactly mate
A legend! And the high water bell bottoms....C L A S S I C!!
To all the people who think that Leon Russell helped Joe Cocker along in some way, Joe needed no help, he was huge in 1968 and 1969 from Woodstock and Little Help from my Friends way before he even was saddled with Russell
Joe. You sang with your whole body.
Absolute brilliance.
A legendary soul blues rock sensation hard to forget once youve seen him perform.
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.
he sounds soooo good here. this song really suits him. loved that falsetto riff at 1:51.
Wow..this performance is really where it's at! When ever I'm down I'm going to listen to this for a lift. What a soul soother! Take me back to 1969.
Almost makes me nostalgic for the sixties.
Considering what most people and society are like today i'd settle going back to anything ...except maybe the Middle Ages
Great hippie video
Henry McCullough on guitar later of Paul McCartney and Wings
Good call
Coincidence, Wings also had a Jimmy McCulloch on guitar.
Grease Band!
It’s ashamed it wears all lip synch’d

Still moves me!! Gotta love that man!

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.
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.
I’m a throw a 70s party and have my DJ play this music all night long👍 I was born in 1970 and grew up listening and till this day livin it.❤️
Excellent! Thank you for posting. Mr. Cocker was a one of a kind entertainer. Nice to see something other than his over the top performance at Woodstock.
I dig his outfit
Yes, great 💫utfit: Mr. Joe CROCKER is Styling.-😘
How many of these persons are still living today? A fantastic songs of an era where all we was more happy and we lived more better than today ...😢
Love the Color/Colours
When I was maybe 10 years old in the early 1970's, I LOVED his singing.
What weird dancers they had for this show! Haha
This was fiyah!
All the dancers flying around is pretty funny.
Great talent. Lot of soul.
I always feel good about this video, this incredible performance
This guy was laying it down...
I love the dancers. ❤❤❤ They dance how this song makes me feel !! FEELIN' ALLRIGHT! Light on their feet and groovin'. 😊😊😊😊
Well those dancers sure augmented the bands performance! 😛
I had a vagus nerve stimulation surgery 4 months ago. I relate to Joe a lot because of his medical conditions. Thank you everyone
A Dave Mason composition. This is great. Cheers!
I wish I had a dollar for every time I jammed out this song for a Saturday matinee, when doing six-nighters in bars was a full-time job. It's the same two chords back and forth, an easy groove. Doing "The Letter" was better.
Love me some Mr Cocker❤❤❤
lots of energy in those dancers
Chris Stainton is a monster on the electric piano even tho it's pre-recorded.The grease Band highly Underated too.I loved the big Mad Dogs band but give me the Grease Band anyday of the week.
Thanks for letting me know who was
on the electric piano. I loved Leon Russell with Joe but Chris did an outstanding job, too!
@@kentuckydeb55 you're welcome
Wow..Joey..all primmed up...with the original "Grease Band".
BEFORE he went full-freaky...and recruited Leon Russell & Rita Coolidge
Nice close up of "Crazy-Man" drummer Jim Gordon.
I saw the MD&E show in Ed Sullivan's home town of Port Chester NY a year after this performance. 🤩
ed and walt probably had smoe outrageous late night parties !!
Wonderful

Awesome!
Completely cool!
Wow this is great and so different from his performance a year or two later
Damn this is music, Joe Crocker RIP
For some reason, this song really worked well in the movie Flight.
Towards the end i bet Joe was feeling pretty good. Man, those girls dancin' looks fine.
Ed must have been in the wings, shaking his head, but he knew the trends and obliged.
Me over here jamin' to an oldie but goodie and checkin out someones grandma.
Happy Birthday JC.
This is my jam
Dig the colors!
My long time favorite 🤩! Love ❤️ it love it love it !
Groovy !!
Love watching this guy sing
Newcastle’s finest
I didn’t know he did the Sullivan show
Most of the biggest Stars that weren't Stars yet were on his show ! From elvis to the beatles to the jackson five !
Great song and performance. Sixties Mod. Puffy shirt, high water bell bottoms, miniskirts, colors and dots.
AHHHH. The sixties.
REALLL GREAT SHEOWWWWW !!! with topo gigo and the incredible singing nuns
Good John Belushi impression!
Nice production, love the girls dancing...cool!
51 years ago❗
It was great seeing Henry MCullough on the stage
I had forgotten that he could really sing!
That guy is amazing.
I'm glad I got to live through the 60s and 70s. Spirit world was on fire. Why all of these people appeared in the 60s. It could have happened after Jesus himself was on this earth but it didn't. It happened in the 60 and I'm thankful igot to live through it.
Man, think about all that body hair and sweaty bushes back in the day. Good times.😊😊😊
Man, the thumbnail threw me for a loop, thought it was tommy james and the shondells before i read it as Joe Cocker, haha.
I went to see Stevie ray Vaughan at the gorge in George ,WA. Stevie opened for joe which I was dis appointed with until Joe Cocker took the stage ,sounds silly but it was the best concert I think I've ever seen ,fan forever
Stevie Ray Vaughan is just as awesome as Joe. I'd be excited to see both.
