Joe Cocker & Jennifer Warnes - Up where we belong 1983

[mimicry88]

I do miss this bygone era. Sincere performance, no lip sync or light shows.

[MishuTaste]

When I look at Joe Cocker, I can't help thinking about John Belushi's SNL parody. 

[IglesiaDeCRISTOsvJG]

Gooddddddd



[jbadal1]

On second analysis, is Joe imitating Jennifer or is Jennifer doing Joe ?

[jbadal1]

I can't help but think of John Belushi's Cocker imitation on SNL.

[BrownCow1919]

Jennifer is HOT!



[missyA1958]

Crying now! The forever Amazing Joe Cocker Forever and Always!

[121duane]

You have to realize this video is from 1983. Joe probably swings a mean cane now. He has an excellent voice anyways. Kind of a gravel to it.

[TheGodParticle]

I like joe, he looks like the sort of guy you could get drunk with and have a right laugh.

[soxfan801]

Joe has on hell of a voice.

[MyLondona]

Drunken Joe cocker :))))

[ClubPenguinVideo2009]

this is the creme of the crop excellent performance such a sad and beautiful song both did great crowd looked plain they were in the presence of greatness wonderful performers hats off to them

[Juliaflo]

@ClubPenguinVideo2009 I second that.

[kareless123]

Joe wanted the night off-so they just stuck Oliver Reed out there to mime instead.

[aihoschema]

Well I loooove joe Cocker, but isn't Jennifer Warnes such a perfect choice for his duet partner? Such a sweet, grounded country-style voice - completing thsi fantastic tune. I think she is heavily underrated. About her looks: Yes she isn't a hot babe, but she is a very beautiful woman with a lot of dignity. I'd take the latter any day.

[harposmommy]

To TBella, that is a really stupid remark about Joe being Autistic. Trust me he's not autistic. I would know as my son has Autism. Clearly you know nothing about autism if you think Joe is.

[ziggy1415]

fucking hilarious when the backing fades out and there like "holy crap did they tell you that was gonna do that?"

[claubones]

Me pregunto porque ya no hacen mas canciones como esa?...con esa letra! ese sentimiento!..canciones que como esta, quedan para el recuerdo....

Ellos si que saben cantar! y no necesitan grandes escenarios, ni bailarines para hacer buena musica....esto si que es arte!...

[kezie666666]

great

[GANONAD]

Joe seems a little bit drunk....

[TBellaDotka]

I just went that far to see what is the problem with his arms .... Anybody though , he may be autistic.... or it's my imagination ....:P

[madalenha47]

by the way , jennifer warnes looks like lois griffin from famaly guy

[madalenha47]

awesome

[RLIsbell23]

at 2:41, it looks like Jennifer was a bit put off when Joe changed things up a little bit. 

[moonboots69]

2 perfectly matched voices, on one of the greatest songs of our era...

[funkandgroovin]

@moonboots69 i noticed that too how their voices blend well. her voice blends well with others in duets as well. she is a very skilled vocalist.

[57highland]

Jennifer Warnes is enchanting and lovely, as usual.

And Joe Cocker?

Joe ... you are the finest of Englishmen !!!

[terrybeaton]

This song was written by Buffy Saint Marie. She wrote alot of timeless tunes!

[Tezla931]

This song makes me dream about a better world, and i'm 16 haha:)

[FIRE5thTownMusic]

WOW! I know a tweaker when I see one and Joe was definitely twacked out here. He's on a good one! I still love his music but it's sad what these artists do or did to themselves.

[tikakotikako]

the best song:*:*

[phunkyfeelone]

Jennifer Warnes looks like Lois Griffin from Family Guy...

[hideyho67]

The Movements are from his having had polio... at least that is what I have been told.

[pionier111]

Epic....

[cetera06]

amazing quality!! thanks!!!

[sherbert500]

joe cocker was on drugs here he was throughout most of his career he jumped about all over the place but damn he can sing so who cares really

[FishingtonBurpPuzzle]

I reccommend you to listen to Buffet Saint Marie's version if you want to actually feel what this song is about.

[phunkyfeelone]

I don't care if he pulls his pants around his ankles as he sings, it's what makes him unique; if that's what he needs to do to hit the note, so be it. Love this version BTW!

[poeticreject]

and I've noticed on a few Cocker videos that people can only talk about his hand movements. what you people fail to understand is that His music is so raw and soulful that it cannot all escape just through his voice, it radiates all throughout his body

[57highland]

@poeticreject Dammit, you are so right about that !!!

[Devilock79]

@poeticreject

Actually, Joe was a raging alcoholic. If you've ever spent any time with alcoholics you'll notice quite a few of them do that.

[PFTome]

@poeticreject well said. Many of the greats do similar things, i just see it as true expression of the music flowing through them. David Gilmour's facial expressions, Stevie Wonder's swaying are some others to note.

[swampzoid]

@poeticreject Other singers use their bodies too. Mary Travers is famouse for that too.

[littlefuzzer]

@poeticreject I agree..a potbellied white dude with such a incredible gravely soulful voice

[dmeantit2011]

THIS IS HANDS DOWN ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONGS EVER WRITTEN... NOW I AIN'T MUSHY BUT THIS SONG BRINGS TEARS TO M EYES EVERY (YES, I SAID EVERY) TIME I HEAR IT!!!

[poeticreject]

people who feel their music like mr. cocker and let it flow through them, they never lose their talent. they will always be great

[Cashcrop54]

Joe is as incredible as ever. I have no idea how she can sing next to him without cracking up. Maybe that's why she doesn't look at him often.

[treavioli]

jennifer lol joe lol

[AdamR702]

Joe is a champ but the finger thing must be a nervous habit because he definitly isnt keeping time

[movieswithpopcorn]

I don't know how anyone can listen to this song without bawling their eyes out. I mean, super sad. Gorgeous, but sad.

[tenebra1990]

okok e vero e bellissima

[stalkingwolf1954]

looks pretty good for coming out of a decade long heroin and alcohol addiction , jennifer makes this perfect. This song has a great native american influence,written by buffy st. marie and jesse ed davis,the best native american songwriters

[reiksmarshalken]

@stalkingwolf1954

Buffy Saint Marie is Canadian btw.....not american

[adamus77]

@reiksmarshalken They didnt say she was American......they said she was NATIVE American. Whom by the way are both with dual American and Canadian citizenships.

[Rachek81]

@adamus77 that'd be 'born', and way to educate the clueless... you sir have my vote!
