    1. Great Joe Cocker imitation.

      EDIT: Except when he sings the word “do” it sounds so Noo Yawk….

      I was hoping this was the one when Joe Cocker and Belushi sang it side by side on the same stage.
      John’s good, and Joe had a sense of humor.

      RIP to both of them, I enjoyed watching both.

      Apparently when Cocker was on set for rehearsals etc. Belushi was quietly following him around for the full day which came across as weird at the time.

    4. I saw this as a kid and I didn’t know who Joe Cocker was, but it was funny because of the faces he was making. Then Joe Cocker is on SNL and John Belushi comes out and imitates him while he’s singing it was the best.

    5. I didn’t realize Belushi was that good a singer. His pitch was nearly perfect; Joe Cocker isn’t the easiest to copy.

    6. This was absolutely hysterical and awesome. Considering it was a comedic performance, he still delivers with the song. Incredible talent.

    7. The equivalent in 1975 would have been a clip from 1925, just in case anyone didn’t feel old.

    8. This dude was genuinely funny, everything he did made you chuckle, so sad we lost him so early.

    9. Belushi was so very talented. He sounds like Joe Cocker. I loved to hear him sing! The Blues Brothers were awesome.
