Wonder Joe!

As in "wonder where I am Joe???
Yea; I've seen him as an opening act a few times in the 60''s/70's. I bet I remember the concerts better than him and I was gonzo

Oceanwave, you have shown your age, not that you saw Cocker in concert, its the term Gonzo I havent heard in so long.
I think Joe Cocker is a trip to watch sing. Although I think James Belushi (Saturday Night Live) looked more like Joe Cocker than Joe Cocker did.
The man has made some great music.

I think Joe Cocker would be a great singer if he could ever get whatever is in his throat out! Sounds like he is trying to clear his throat the entire time to me.

"You Can Leave Your Hat On"....... crankin' up music for sure. Like Joe alot. Still wonder if the old Saturday Night Live skit where Belushi was imitating Cocker and Joe walks on stage was a put on or not. Still one of the funniest SNL skits ever.

Let me just say he puts an awful lot into his performances. Facial expressions, hand and wrist actions…singing does not look to be an easy task for him, certainly not as effortless as most singers. I do like his old music nonetheless.

Hmmm sounds like a job for kazaa, never heard of cocker. I'd say that it was the truck, I saw a new one today and I had to wipe my drool off my chin. -wb

He's a great singer and songwriter, but it always looks like he's having a seizure when he performs.
