Joe C o c k e r - With A Little Help From My Friends
HTML https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wG6Cgmgn5U
I may have not followed his career as I do other artist, but
that doesn't mean I didn't like his singing. I did and still do.
And it's a telling testament in how good he is that I actually
think his version of The Beatles 'A Little Help From My Friends'
is the rare occasion where the remake is better than the
original and I LOVE the original. RIP dude.

I can't find a good embeddable version of the duet... but we all
know about it.

God, watching that clip with Joe with Brian May and Phil Collins
just gives me chills. Awesome performance. Now gonna watch John
Belushi which has always been one of my all time favorite
performance by John on SNL.

SNL and SNL was a thing. ;D

Without a second thought, my favorite by Mr. C*ocker is You Can
Leave Your Hat On.
Man, I just love the horns and the big sound. No one but Joe
could have made this better.
Oh, oh, oh and I've not seen this video. WTF is wrong with me.
Dayum.... NSFW

A chilling reminder that Mickey Roarke used to be attractive.
That song is in my stripper movie playlsit, even though it's too
iconic to actually use. Great track.

I could have sworn that I posted the video in the Stripper
Thread. If not, punch me in the face. Please. ;D Anyway,
totally agree that he and he alone could make the song what it
turned out to be.

Without checking, I think you did because I could not get
through "NIne And A Half Weeks" and I KNOW I didn't get to that
part.
