I do love Joe Cocker. Have you seen the documentary on Netflix? Its pretty good.
When I saw Randy Newman (who wrote that tune) He talked about Joe Cocker's version. He said "I play it like this [plays a few bars] He did it in this key [plays a few bars, brighter] I would have played it like that, but I didn't think of it."

I will have to look it up when I get home.
This was always my favorite: Up Where We Belong
Of course, that was probably more than marginally affected by my having developed a serious crush on Jennifer Warnes some 11 or 12 years prior to this performance when she whispered softly in my ear just before going onstage at the Memorial Auditorium in Lexington, KY.
I've always wondered if she was gay then, or if I had blown a stupendous opportunity by failing to say something clever. But man, that woman's perfume smelled GREAT!!![]()
Glad to do it. Randy is an amazing songwriter and a very amusing and sardonic story teller.Thanks Not Normal! You've given me more about this song to look into! Appreciate it!
I love this site....this is why I come here.![]()
I want to hear those stories.Michael McDonald was a poor imitation.
I have Joe Cocker (and Leon Russell) stories but you wouldn't believe them so they'll remain untold.
The music lasts forever.
He was great but there were others, Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye, Rod Stewart, Bill Medley, Barry White, Michael McDonald, Tina Turner. To name a few.
Joe Cocker was amazing.. I took my gf to see him years ago.. I surprised her with front row center tickets. He was her favorite artist. Joe Bonamassa opened, a legend in his own right.. and was incredible.
Joe Cocker came out and totally kicked ass for 90 minutes or so. When the show was over, I asked her if she wanted to go back stage and meet him. We met up with the guy running back stage.. he says we're going to let each person or couple meet Joe individually.. he says, if you wanna have a conversation with him, you'll have to initiate it because he is painfully shy. That sounded ridiculous as we'd just watched him jump around in front of 20 thousand people..
So after the obligatory drooling over him and telling him how much we enjoy his music.. he leans over to me and asks if he can kiss my gf.. I look at her and say whaddya think and of course she's honored... and excited.
So I ragged her after for making out with Joe Cocker on our date...lol
It's a cool story to have in my arsenal tho..![]()
