This definitive Cocker compilation covers a musical history spanning 40 years and includes great songs like "The Letter", "Up Where We Belong", "You Are So Beautiful", "You Can Leave Your Hat On", "Unchain My Heart" and more!
Year by year, song by song, Joe Cocker - renowned for his gravelly voice and passionate delivery - built his life and career on a stronger foundation than where he found himself earlier in this long and successful adventure. His records invariably cut through whatever else was big or fashionable at the time.
It almost doesn't matter when he recorded these songs --"The Letter", "Up Where We Belong", "You Are So Beautiful", "You Can Leave Your Hat On", "Unchain My Heart" - or when we first heard them. They form part of a timeless body of work we can simply enjoy for what it is. It's Joe Cocker then and now, and 2008's fine collection 'Classic Cocker' provides the service of focusing on his finest vintage tunes.
'Classic Cocker' covers a musical history spanning 40 years and includes a new song taken from The Beatles inspired movie soundtrack 'Across The Universe'.
