About The Record:

Following the template of his first LP, Joe Cocker! features numerous covers of songs originally performed by Bob Dylan (Dear Landlord), the Beatles (She Came in Through the Bathroom Window and Something – both released almost simultaneously with original versions; Let It Be was also recorded and released as a B-side), Leonard Cohen (Bird on the Wire), and future touring partner Leon Russell (Delta Lady and “Hello Little Friend”). Cocker also co-wrote one song, That's Your Business Now, with Chris Stainton, who was a frequent songwriting partner. Cocker is backed by the Grease Band, two of whom, Chris Stainton and Henry McCullough, appeared on his first album. Delta Lady was released as a single and reached No. 10 in the UK singles chart.
