Groovy doesn’t even begin to cover it. Joe Cocker tearing into “Feelin’ Alright” on The Ed Sullivan Show in April 1969 is pure, unfiltered electricity. With those flailing arms, that gravel-soaked voice, and a band locked in tight behind him, Cocker turns the TV stage into a full-blown soul revival. It’s raw, sweaty, and completely magnetic — a moment where British blues grit met American prime time and shook the room.
