Yeah, I always like pulling out the Joe Cocker cd for a bit of easy listening. I've seen the live dvd and he's very good, still unsure as to how he keeps his voice in tact for that long.

The Letter, A little help from my friend, and Up Where We Belong are my favourite Cocker songs, always good to listen to, whatever mood I'm in.

No thanks, I'm trying to cut down!

The best Joe Cocker album to get is Cocker Happy released in 1971.

Absolute cracker even if you're not that old either.

Get that and Sheffield Steel and you probably have a good overview of what Joe does best, interprets other people's songs.

I saw Cocker at the Melbourne Ent Centre i n 1986. He was terrific and his band was awsome. His voice sounded like smooth Bourban tastes and still does. He would be close to the finest white rythm and blues singer ever.

I saw JOE from Sheffield (Go the Blades !!) back in Sept 1995 at the Palias Theatre StK on his 25th Anniversary Tour.

Agree with Coombsy. Fav track (outside his Big Hits) is 'Shelter Me'
