Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes – "Up Where We Belong" (1982)

2010/09/21


After listening to it because of my previous post, I just had to pick this one! And like it or not… I know you know the words to the chorus! (It is ok if you close the windows of your car and belt it out. I'll understand. ;)

Joe Cocker – "With A Little Help From My Friends" (1969)

2009/09/12


I had a little help from my friends on this one when they pointed it out to me last night. The video above is of Joe Cocker's well known performance at Woodstock in 1969. What is different about the video above from the original live recording is someone has added lyrics matching what it sounds like Joe is singing. e.g. A couple lines are…

Oh baby, hoggify
All I need is my butt and I

Too funny!

You can listen to the original recorded album version, where Joe has a little bit more diction, here:

I'd like to also point out that although Joe Cocker's rendition is famous, the song was originally written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney and released on The Beatles album "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band". Joe's cover is good, but so is the original. It is difficult to say which one I like more.
