Lately I have been absolutely mezmorized and bedazzled by the spells that Joe Cocker lays down in his songs. He doesn't have a bad song out there. True, he is mainly a cover artist, but all of his covers somehow are BETTER than the originals. That is quite a statement when you figure he has taken on The Beatles and Dylan. The only Joe Cocker song that I think is "eh" is his version of "Have A Little Faith In Me" by John Hiatt. Don't get me wrong, it is a good cover, but the arrangement doesn't differ a great deal from the original like many of his others do.
