Beautiful singing. You'd have to not like music in general to not like this song. When I listen to this song, I can't help but think about my older brother who passed away four yrs ago. It hurt then and it still hurts today. Whether it's R.E.M. singing or Joe Cocker, it's still a beautiful song.
Yes, He is something else...I get chills when I hear him...god Bless him. I put him up there with Jimmy Dewar (the voice) R.I.P. James...Hope you are looking down at all of us Fans that will never forget you.
He is so awesome because he is what he sings...just listen....it comes from within...not many can do that. a great talent...a great voice, great songs....Joe...you look great...hang on I hope your time of hurt is OVER! GOD SPEED MY FRIEND!
I love Joe Cocker's voice, I love this song. I love the original, but honestly I think Joe could have done it better. It didn't flow like I've come to expect from him. Sorry folks 6/10 7 at best!!
As grateful as i am to Michael Stipes for this great song, his version pales in comparison to Mr. Cocker's, the best cover man around, hands down. pax, pjarden
ONE OF THE MOST TALENTED AND ORIGINAL ARTISTS OF OUR TIME. THE DEPTH HE DISPLAYS WHEN HE SINGS IS BEYOND WORDS. HE DOESN'T JUST SING, HE LIVES THE MUSIC. JOE YOU ARE ONE OF A KIND. GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS FOR HE SURE HAS BLESSED US WITH YOU. PLEASE KEEP ON SINGING "LIFE". FLAMING STAR (PEGGY)
No words can describe the feeling this guy puts into his perfomances. One of my all time favourites and way way up there with all the greats. Thanks Joe
@rbarnes0625 please accept my sympathy for your loss. it's uncomfortable even trying to imagine what you've experienced, but I can appreciate and applaud your selection of this song.
I came so close to losing my 17 year old son. How do you cope? I can't imagine the pain. When the cops called and said they wre lifting the car off him I died inside.
Whether or not we have friends is really of our own doing. Have you ever tried to reach out to someone to help them? If you give the impression of being aloof and unreachable, with a wall around you so high and thick no one can get past it, you isolate yourself from the rest of the world. You can't reach out to someone, nor can they reach out to you. Open the doors, tear down the walls, be a friend without expectation of a return.
@vmad1223 well if you know who Johnny Cash was then you might also know that he made covers sound like they were his own songs. I felt that Joe did the same in this song. So stop writing things like trolling and stupid just cause you didn´t get it. I don´t think I´m the one here who seems stupid and off topic.
Joe!! He always does that! Pullin' on the heartstrings is a good thing.The message can't get any clearer whether Joe or REM sing this song.Sometimes one should turn up the volume and play either just for the re-affirmation of it all!
Someone get Stephen Hawking on the phone so we can count how many times Joe Cocker has put out a cover that is as good as, or even better than the original. I know I can't count that high.
I'm out of jail and off herion but I still wake up with this song.I am helping other addicts and I tell them about this song and it never fails to help. Thank you for what you do and what you do that you don't know about. THANK YOU!!! celticprideism
I hadn't heard this before ... but like it. Like everything Joe covers, he makes it his own and does better than the original. Think not? Does anyone even remember the Box Tops' version of The Letter? Does With A Little Help ever get sung like the Beatles original ... or,in the style of Joe Cocker's cover? Joe Cocker is a legend.
cara! joe cocker é muito foda.. canta demais e essa musica q foi imortalizada por ele =) até o REM canta mas a versão original cantada pelo joe não tem pareia
Divine man, 100% soul and the genuine article, a guy who is incapable of fakery in his art. Anyone who doesn't respond to Joe Cocker better stick to MTV "superstars"
Just when I need a song, someone sent me this one. My husband passed away, suddenly. I wasn't prepared, but are we ever. This song is just what I needed.
for a man who has been conflicted with cerebal pausey i think he is still truly amazing ...just like he was when i met him in aug of 1969 at woodstock
the song is not original of REM but of Paul ANKA!
