Joe Cocker - Bye Bye Blackbird

[zaxapitsa5]

que musicooooooooooooon

[ScotsmanRex]

best version since the original by gene austin 1926 which is in the grammy hall of fame. 

[rheaub2]

Look, I'm just a fan, like everyone else, I don't know squat, OK?. But, IF, I say IF, that's Page @ 1:40 to 1:48 or so - and I THINK I recognize his chops - the A flat @1:43 is pure genius. You can't teach it, you can't learn it. A BIG surprise for me, not naturally a big Page fan - I always felt Page confused quantity with quality - but this is in-freakin'-credible! What an interpretive genius Cocker is, shows through here. Page is a cog. Joe's the wheel! Magnificent.

Simply an awesome song righteously sung by Joe C and fantastic chorus of backup singers! And this song was composed, written in 1-9-2-6... almost a hundred years ago. Great music does not die. good work, Joe! thanks for posting

[edkegger1]

I'm listening to it on my 3rd time through, I keep hitting replay

Bezsenność w Seattle

[Lengo67]

I had forgotten about this one. One thing that makes it great is the arrangement with the background singers.

Thanks for posting it. I try to relive my youth daily! This helps!

[facerake7]

Easily the definitive version of this song. Joe seemed to make everything uniquely his. One wonders where all the great British rock talent of his type has gone. Was it all confined to one blessed generation?

[yescure6]

@bluzebaby Well did what I could, I dont think there visuals that can describe or match as you said the geniuses of the lyrics or Joe's vocals, which are a beauty!

[bluzebaby]

Shame about the visuals. They don't match the incredible geniuses that you hear. Awesome song.

[rob7295]

grandiosa la dedico ad anna 68 con immenso amore.Questa canzone e' come te mi fa' sognare

[sabrehill1]

[sabrehill1]

this fella could transform a song

god bless ya joe

[dcconsi]

no one better .....for rock include eric burden and bob dylan consy

[iamthebeastman1]

@music4reality if that looks like a vagina you'll probably say my penis looks like a pecker

[rooszinerin]

TNX for this one!!!

[Witdip]

This always reminds me of the old Saturday Night Live closing music.

[perriziacl]

I fuckin love this damn,makes me want to cry

[stalkingwolf1954]

the solo was abit rough on an old classic like this, but i still think that page, winwood ,stainton and joe cocker turned it into a work of art!!!!!

[OldBoy1410]

'He and Page' didn't play the pubs and clubs together - they played the same pubs & clubs during the same period, with different bands.

[stalkingwolf1954]

Joe Cocker was the 1st singer considered for lead singer in led zeppelin, he and page used 2 play teen clubs and pubs together when they wre kids

[stwads]

@stalkingwolf1954

 That was Terry Reid not Joe!

[TheReilly8]

the solo sucks even if it is by jimmy page

[KARENK72886]

danke schoen!

[julianozain]

I was 13 years old when this album was released. ...Thanks for the memories..

Bye Bye

[rodonthedancefloor]

What a cool tune!!!

[jkoff76]

can't hear this without crying.

[Nungirl238]

The most vivid thing I remember from the movie Sleepless in Seattle.

[PAULOcbi]

TonyVisconti(producer)also played guitar on this one

[alexwritestube]

Soulful! love it. this art piece has it all -- solid enduring blues, standard bringing its styles of its child, rock. And erstwhile parent jazz, interpreted with the non-bs singing by Joe C. and that great gospel type chorus behind it all. The lyrics and progression? If in pyschedelic 1969, Bye Bye Blackbird was appreciated and included in an album of a top pop star, well, u decide as its lasting value.

[music4reality]

0:21 seriously thought that was a vagina.

great song though

[Toby678]

Good song, terrible guitar solo! What the hell was Jimmy thinking?

[lSTAYHlGH]

@Toby678 i agree its a little obnoxious for this kind of song. it needs something more subtle and tasteful

[gonzalomichilot]

is jimmy page on the solo ?

[todda1955]

my friend daniel loved this song,he passed and his memorial is friday,RIP,my friend,love you and you will be missed

[clalegon2002]

beautiful song

[LionessDeWinter]

Beautiful and brilliant!

[amazondoobie]

Best version there will ever be.

[88jesso]

this si the absolute best version of this song love love love

[amazondoobie]

Oh yeah. One of th hidden treasures of the world. Best version of a song done many times.

[masterd151]

Jimmy Page on the solo

[yescure6]

@masterd151 Yes, you are right! Thats Jimmy on the solo!!

[enchentez]

Yes, that's Jimmy Page, alright, turning in the absolute *worst* guitar solo ever put on vinyl. Just ruined what would have easily been absolutely the best rendition of this song ever done.

[masterd151]

@enchentez the solo seals the deal..the only other solo that would fit would be a different Page solo

[CasaDeAgua]

lol i first heard this song on the soundtrack of Sleepless in Seattle. pretty lame movie, but if it made me listen to this song, then totally worth watching

=D

[sokawati]
