ARTIST BACKGROUND

About Joe Cocker

Joe Cocker came from Sheffield, England, and developed through skiffle and pub performances of blues material. His rough vocal texture and emotionally forceful delivery became central to his interpretations of songs such as With a Little Help from My Friends, The Letter and Feelin' Alright. Later recordings included Up Where We Belong with Jennifer Warnes for An Officer and a Gentleman. His career connected rock and soul interpretation with the broader repertoire of an international concert singer.
