Random thoughts on art, technology, stuff, and occasionally Real Estate: Friday Classics: That Was Then, This Is Now

Friday Classics: That Was Then, This Is Now

Last week, I posted a video of Springsteen in the 1980s and there were some interesting comments about how much we have all changed in 20 years.

Well, let's consider this (hang in a minute while the videos load):

Here is Joe Cocker performing "A Little Help From My Friends" in 1969.  He's young, he's lean, he's intense.  In fact, he's so deep into the groove you might be concerned that he suffers from a physical affliction (Check out Leon Russell playing guitar, too). .

 

This is now -- This is Joe Cocker in 2002 performing the same song.  The hairline has changed, the waistline has changed.  But the intensity, the passion, the voice and the heart .... those are even better.....

CJ.... We must have been telepathically talking because I was just reviewing some Cat Stevens videos and was thinking about something along the same lines....  Using the reflections from Father and Son before and after his disappearing act....  Times may change but the story remains the same.

Yep he still has it.  A voice no one else can imitate.

Cheryl, I love the old rockers that still have "it."  Meaning the passion they had years ago.  I don't care what they look like now, you can hear it in their music.  Great post, I really enjoyed it!

Another good one, Cheryl.  I love Joe Cocker - my favorite is You Can Leave Your Hat On :)
