John Robert "Joe" Cocker, OBE (20 May 1944 – 22 December 2014) was an English singer and musician. He was known for his gritty voice, spasmodic body movement in performance, and definitive versions of popular songs.
Cocker's cover of the Beatles' "With a Little Help from My Friends" reached number one in the UK in 1968. He performed the song live at Woodstock in 1969, and at the Party at the Palace concert for the Golden Jubilee of Elizabeth II in 2002. His version also became the theme song for the TV series The Wonder Years. His 1974 cover of "You Are So Beautiful", reached number five in the US. Cocker was the recipient of several awards, including a 1983 Grammy Award for his US number one "Up Where We Belong", a duet with Jennifer Warnes.
In 1993 Cocker was nominated for the Brit Award for Best British Male, in 2007 was awarded a bronze Sheffield Legends plaque in his hometown, and in 2008 he received an OBE at Buckingham Palace for services to music. Cocker was ranked number 97 on Rolling Stone's 100 greatest singers list.

Genres: ,I went down to the river
Just to see if it would rain
I looked down in the water
I could not believe my eyes
A face and a reflection
Was staring back at me ahah
And it scares me just to think
About the power that this woman has on me
Just to keep from drowning
I get down on my knees to pray
Just to keep from drowning
I'll do anything you say
Help me now
Help me now
It rained the day I met her
I should have known that was a sign
But I couldn't see the weather
That woman almost made me blind
I wanted her to love me
Now all I want is to be free
And it scares me just to think
About the power that this woman has on me
Just to keep from drowning
I'll do anything I can
Just to keep from drowning
Lord I need a helping hand
Help me now
Help me now
I hear the river call my name
But the water's dark and cold
I see your face
And I'm afraid this time
That I will lose my soul
I will lose my soul
I might lose my soul
Help me
Help me now
Just to keep from drowning
I get down on my knees to pray
Just to keep from drowning
I'll do anything you say
Help me now
Help me please
What else's gonna save me from drowning here
Just to deliver me
Keep from drowning
I get on my knees to pray
Just to free my soul
Just to keep from drowning
You know I'd do anything you say woman
Have me talking baby
Drowning
Drowning
Can't we
Living like it should
With unbroken heart
I'd do anything
Just to keep from drowning
Just to keep from burning down
I get on my knees to pray
I said it scares me
Just to think about you woman
How will she help for me
