Historia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Robert Cocker (20 May 1944 – 22 December 2014), better known as Joe Cocker, was an English singer. He was known for his gritty voice, spasmodic body movement in performance, and distinctive versions of popular songs of varying genres.
Cocker's recording 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 performed the same year at the Isle of Wight Festival, and at the Party at the Palace concert in 2002 for the Golden Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. 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 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.

La turbulenta vida del cantante de soul y blues, el fallecido Joe Cocker. Un ex instalador de gas de Sheffield, catapultado al estrellato mundial en 1969 en Woodstock con su legendaria interpretación de la canción de los Beatles, "A Little Help from My Friends". Pero a principios de la década de 1970, los demonios internos de Joe Cocker casi lo matan. Superando sus luchas con el alcohol y las drogas, reconstruyó su reputación como "uno de los grandes vocalistas de rock and roll de todos los tiempos" (descripción de Billy Joel). La película mezcla las propias palabras de Joe Cocker, con un archivo poco común. Su esposa (Pam Cocker) y su familia, amigos y los legendarios compositores y músicos con los que colaboró cuentan la historia de Joe Cocker.
