His version was the first one I heard (during the beginning of Wonder Years). After hearing the Beatles' original, it didn't make me change my mind lol | |

I never even knew the Beatles recorded it until Timmy or someone else brought it up in another thread a few days ago. "It's not nice to fuck with K.B.! All you haters will see!" - Kitbradley

I never really liked this version that much. It's alright, but I like the Fabs' better. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

The Beatles did it better.
This version is ok, though. | |

I couldn't hang with the Beatles' version... that's just me. | |

Proof that the Beatles were better songwriters than arrangers. | |

Well, I'm a huge Beatles fan, and not a Joe Cocker fan at all, so that probably explains my opinion. | |

Beatles for the win. Joe always freaked the shit out of me when I saw him sing live on tv. [Edited 12/29/11 21:43pm] The Most Important Thing In Life Is Sincerity....Once You Can Fake That, You Can Fake Anything. | |

I kept reading people joke about him going into eplieptic seizures. John Belushi of course imitated his performances. Then Joe was on the show performing with John. | |

I'm a huge Beatles fan, but this one has never been a favorite (no, Ringo shouldn't have been singing solos in this group). I've actually grown to appreciate the original the last few years. I give the edge to Cocker here, but I'll take the Fab Four for "... Bathroom Window." "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

I saw him on an SNL repeat when I was younger, and having at the time never heard of Joe Cocker he freaked me out, literally. I kept waiting for him to fall down and the medics to come on stage and drag him off.

That's just the way he performed. Luckily he don't perform like that anymore though. | |

I like Ringo's voice. It works for the types of songs he sings. Ringo was singing before he joined The Beatles when he was in Rory Storm's band. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

That and lyrically it works for Ringo to be the lead. The man has taken flak since day one. The Most Important Thing In Life Is Sincerity....Once You Can Fake That, You Can Fake Anything. | |

Pete (Best) forever! Ringo never! Some fans attacked the group when Pete was sacked. George got a souvenir.
