Joe Cocker and John Belushi: "Feelin' Alright"

One of those legendary moments from the golden age of SNL:

Full performance here:

Cocker's recollection:

"I always found it quite amusing. But you have to understand I was a bit of a wreck at the time he was doing all that stuff. I didn't watch much television, so I wasn't aware of it until some guy said, 'There's this guy doing an awful impersonation of you. Sue him.' I thought vocally, he did quite a clever job with it. It put a print on me that kind of stuck to this day. He [Belushi] was quite shy really whenever we did any gigs together. He was almost like a schoolboy. He'd come in the dressing room, just watch everything I was doing."

I felt sorry for him (remember I was a kid) I thought he was handicapped!

John Belushi was spot on.

Both were extraordinarily talented.

These old clips certainly bring back a flood of good memories.
