Legendary singer, Joe Cocker, passed away on Monday,
22 December 2014, after battling with cancer. He was aged 70.
1. His big break came when he covered
The Beatles ‘
A Little Help From
My Friends’ in
1968, hitting the UK top spot. But it was actually the second
Beatles song he’d covered, the first being ‘
I’ll Cry Instead’, which was released with little interest in 1964. Both records featured a then-little-known session guitarist called
Jimmy Page, who later went onto be a founding member of
Led Zeppelin.
2.
Cocker then juggled working as a gas-fitter and playing cover gigs around his UK home town of
Sheffield, under the name
Vance Arnold and
The Avengers.
4.
What is true, however, is that he has won nearly every music award during his career, including a
Grammy, a
Golden Globe and an
Academy Award. In
2007 Cocker was awarded an
OBE for his services to music.
Rolling Stone also named him as one of the
100 greatest singers of all time.
5. Cocker was one of the lucky acts to have played at the seminal
1969 Woodstock, even though he was not very well known at the time. After the performance, however, he quickly became internationally renowned
7. Things got quite hectic for Cocker during the
1970s as he reportedly battled with drink and drug addictions. He also had to combat some high-profile mockery (although we’re sure he’d call it flattery) when
John Belushi famously aped Cocker’s style of dancing, which involved him throwing his arms around,
Thunderbird style. And Cocker’s reaction? ‘I thought he did a great job.’
9. He was addicted to soundtracks, having sung theme songs for films
9½ Weeks,
Harry and the Hendersons,
Bull Durham and
An Innocent Man.
10. He was also addicted to touring. During one summer in the 70s, he took in 48
American cities, and recorded a live
album, while his then-drummer described the month as a ‘big, wild party.’
