JOE COOKER-WITH THE LITTLE HELP FROM MY FREINDS


Joe Cocker - With A Little Help From My Friends - My Beat Club
Sheffield-born blues and rock singer Joe Cocker is best known for his raspy shouted vocals in combination with almost spastic physical performances. By the time he appeared at the legendary Woodstock Music Festival in 1969, his version of the Beatles song "With A Little Help from My Friends" went #1 in the UK single charts. After several cover versions of the Beatles and other artists, the "Sheffield Soul Shouter" was caught in alcohol and drug abuse in the beginning of the 70s. Cocker returned in the early 80s with several new hits and still plays concerts all over the world.
