ahh more standing still
Simon explained it - Joe Cocker was a rock singer.
What a crock.
Joe Cocker is a Rock singer. Blues/Rock, but still Rock.
I saw Joe Cocker twice in the early 70s and he didn't sound like rock to me.
He's always been "Rocky-blues" in my opinion.
However, that song wouldn't qualify in my book. It's a straight ballad.
