# Joe Cocker

> Joe Cocker turned other people's songs into something unrecognizable and his own — that cracked, bluesy howl and the full-body convulsions onstage made even Beatles covers feel like they'd been dragged through gravel and reborn.

## Bio

John Robert Cocker came out of Sheffield with a voice that sounded like it had lived twice as long as he had. His 1968 debut featured a version of "With a Little Help from My Friends" that hit number one in the UK and became the calling card he'd carry for decades, from Woodstock in 1969 to the Palace in 2002, later soundtracking The Wonder Years. A chaotic 1970 US tour with Leon Russell produced the live double-album Mad Dogs & Englishmen. His 1974 ballad "You Are So Beautiful" cracked the US top five and became his signature. The biggest commercial win came in 1983: "Up Where We Belong", a duet with Jennifer Warnes that took a Grammy and went to number one. He kept recording through 22 studio albums over 43 years, earned an OBE in 2008, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame the year after he died in 2014.
