Episode 11: Joe Cocker

Joe left us in December of 2014, but he left a legacy of gritty, spasmodic performances. He was one of a kind. He came to our attention with his cover of “A Little Help From My Friends” in 1968, and continued popping up in the public consciousness for years, culminating in a 1983 Grammy Award for the number one “Up Where We Belong.” He is listed at #97 on Rolling Stone’s “100 Greatest Singers” list. In this episode, Mick and Jim talk about “A Little Help…” as well as Joe’s take on “The Letter” and “Feelin’ Alright.”
