Joe Cocker - With A Little Help From My Friends (1968)
John Robert "Joe" Cocker OBE (20 May 1944 - 22 December 2014) was an English singer. He was known for his gritty voice, spasmodic body movement in performance, and distinctive versions of popular songs of varying genres.
Cocker's recording of the Beatles' "With a Little Help from My Friends" reached number one in the UK in 1968. He performed the song live at Woodstock in 1969 and performed the same year at the Isle of Wight Festival, and at the Party at the Palace concert in 2002 for the Golden Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. His version also became the theme song for the TV series The Wonder Years. His 1974 cover of "You Are So Beautiful" reached number five in the US. Cocker was the recipient of several awards, including a 1983 Grammy Award for his US number one "Up Where We Belong", a duet with Jennifer Warnes.

It is an absolute crime that Joe is not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. What a shame.

The R&RHoF is a money-grubbing scam. Cocker's an icon without any help from those greedy bastards.

The R and R Hall of fame is a total scam bought by the music industry fat cats. Entirely for pushing their own financial interests. If the fact that Flavor Flav is on the list doesn't tell you everything you need to know about the list, you are asking the wrong questions.

Few singers can be the entire storm. Joe is the rain, the thunder the wind and the clounds. His voice carries through
The deepest feeling of my generation is in this song✌️
One of the rare musical covers that manages to compete with the greatest references of all time. Joe at Woodstock was a shock for me!
No musician on this earth put more passion in their songs as this man... Always the King of the Hill.

@@hughdismuke4703 The wonderful background is Jimi Hendrix`s Electric Ladyland Album Nudes (European Album Cover), London, U.K. This photograph was the European cover for Jimi Hendrix's 1968 album Electric Ladyland. It features nineteen London Club girls, all non-models, who were asked spontaneously to pose nude. When it was released, the cover was banned in the United States. Fucking U.S.A. sucks, lol!

Usually a cover song doesn't compare favourably with the original. Not so here! This cover is on a different level and far exceeds the original. Love it !!!!

@@russellparratt9859 Lucky you!! I wonder how he sounded to you the first visit. "Joe Cocker" ("Something To Say") was a really rough album for me to listen to because of the condition of Joe's voice. Yes, thankfully he didn't go the way of Janice and Jim and had the time to come back and have a tremendous career.

@@chillertheater Well, the band he had during the 1st tour had some members of the Mad Dogs and Englishmen tour. It was fantastic, although he was limping a bit from a scuffle he had with the police at the time. A legend. I remember he did 2 shows on one night, because the police "disrupted" the schedule a bit. It's all documented, but I can't remember the details as I write this. Joe Cocker and Creedence formed the main part of my listening habits at that time, and Cream. Joe Cocker was a consummate, skilled professional in front of the microphone, as well as delivering such a unique style of interpretation. His timing and intonation was so perfect. Incredible stuff.
Most of today's singers can't hold a candle to performers of this quality. What a voice!!

Realmente se te pone la piel de gallina, escuchando este temazo de los Beatles, interpretado por el mítico Joe Cocker, con esa voz ronca, y con esa energía que tenía, es una obra maestra yo la pondría en las 10 mejores canciones de la historia, se nota la psicodelia, la paz, el amor en cada estrofa se rompe el alma, da sentimiento a la canción, una voz que se rompe se desgallita de dolor, ejecutado a la perfección con unos coros desgarradores, con una orquesta que ejecuta la perfección, una obra maestra que siempre estará en nuestras vidas, muchas gracias Joe Cocker por este pedazo tema que nos dejastes para la eternidad.
The best cover of Beatles. The best voices. Joe is phody

One word to describe Joe: Legend
I was three in 68 , Favourite forever joe 🇦🇺
This was like watching a wizard, literally working his magic and I was captivated the whole time. I wish I could have experienced the 60s, but ill make do with playing catch up 🤷♂️😎👍

Quelle voix, ce Joe Cocker! Une des plus belles du siècle passé, sans aucun doute. Cette version de la chanson des Beatles est excellente, et quasiment aussi bonne que celle chantée à Woodstock, même si elle est plus courte. Mais l'essentiel y est : Fantastique voix de Joe, et excellent orchestre avec les mêmes chœurs féminins. Et le rythme beaucoup plus lent , qui donne une autre dimension à ce succès des Beatles, déjà très bon à l'origine.
