When Cocker died, McCartney said this version was “mind-blowing” and was forever grateful for turning the song into a soul anthem. When it was first released, Lennon and McCartney sent him a telegram of thanks and congratulations, and took out an ad in the papers thanking him. Cocker was backed up by an all-star band in the recording.

Joe cocker was originally a blues singer but he sang many different types of music,including blues,pop,gospel,ballads and rock and roll . He does a little bit of everything!!This song is a cover version of a Beatles pop song,however Joe arranged this track to be a gospel type ,call and response song. If you want to see the ultimate version of this song, check out the Mad Dogs and Englishmen concert. He has a huge band and chior as part of his ensemble . It is as if you're in church and the energy they pump out will blow your mind. It is by far the best version of A little help from my friends!! Also check out Delta Lady, It's High Time We Went and You can leave your hat on. He has many ,many more but it you wanna start out with a bang,take my advice. I offer a money back guarantee!!

@@tlbryant4697 many years ago I had the opportunity to attend The A.R.M.S. concert at MSG in NY City. The headliners were Eric Clapton,Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page. Included in that group was Paul Rodgers,Steve Winwood, Ronnie Wood ,Charlie Watts,Bill Wyman ,Ray Cooper and Joe Cocker. It was a benefit to raise money for Ronnie Lane of The Faces who was suffering from M.S. It was the greatest lineup I had ever seen live in my life!!! I had never seen Joe Cocker live before this show . He was up against some heavy,heavy competition and in my opinion he stole the show!! His performance was absolutely incredible and it's hard to find the correct words to describe just how good he was and how he stepped on that stage and took over!! That show was in 1983, I still talk about it to this day and when people ask who was the best performer that night without hesitation I say Joe Cocker!! This was the first time Jimmy Page had performed live since Bonham had died and he did an instrumental version of Stairway To Heaven on that SG double neck which brought the roof down. Also to close it out you had Beck,Page and Clapton all playing together,performing Tulsa Time and Layla. Inspite of these mind blowing performances during the show it was still Joe Cocker who stole the show !!! His energy level and passion were something I will never forget!!! So I'm right with you when it comes to Joe Cocker!! That man was just too much that night!!!

Throughout the decades, music, art, architecture, clothing/style has been a reflection of the political, social, religious, etc. attitudes and ideals of the time. Also, don't forget that the bands/artists of the British invasion, like Joe here were heavily influenced by African-American bluesmen, mainly from the South. The Beatles cited Muddy Waters as a huge influence.

Soul is definitely a genre of Music. This was a widely embraced and loved Beatles' rock song of a generation that Joe Cocker made his own and yes, he sang it with soul.

"Is soul a genre?" I feel soul is all R&B, jazz, doo-wop, blues, gospel... Joe's cover is perfection, he's been on every electronic device I ever owned, just played this last Saturday!!

It's a Beatles song that Joe turned into a soulful blues rock performance. "Music back in the day, it took a lot more talent" - BINGO Lex. Joe is an ICON and one of the most soulful singers of all time. His live album "Mad Dogs And Englishmen" is a classic. The Hammond B3 organ was commonly used in 60's and 70's rock music (which I absolutely love) - you should check out "Gimme Some Lovin' " by the Spencer Davis Group with superstar Steve Winwood on vocals and organ.

I'm 75 years old, and to this day the best live show I ever saw was Maddogs and Englishmen featuring Joe Cocker and Leon Russell along with over 30 of the best studio musicians of the times, in 1971. There is a documentary of the tour of that time.

that conversation between the lead singer and the backing singers as you defined it is 'call and response'. Happens with guitars and singers too. Them - 'Baby please don't go' is a good example of it but it was prevalent in the 60's and early 70's and its something I miss in modern music

Met Joe Cocker in 88 He was being interviewed by some press guy. He looked totally bored, and he was. Same questions. He was having breakfast. I had The Mad Dogs And Englishmen album ready to sign. For those of you who know the album, he took one look at it and laughed, then said wow those days, then asked me to sit and stay for breakfast. He signed the album, we had a laugh, then I left. The album sits in my office on display. Thanks for the good times and memories Joe. Missed not forgotten.
