John Robert "Joe" Cocker, [[UsefulNotes/KnightFever OBE]] (20 May 1944 – 22 December 2014) was a BluesRock singer, sometimes identified as a British R&B singer. He was most famous for singing in a raspy voice that can reach LargeHam levels for some, but felt passionate at the same time. His first hit was "With A Little Help From My Friends" (1968), a cover from Music/TheBeatles album ''Music/SgtPeppersLonelyHeartsClubBand'' (1967). He was also one of the more memorable performers at the ''Film/{{Woodstock}}'' festival in 1969. Over the years he recorded many albums, of which ''Film/MadDogsAndEnglishmen'' is the most well known, and hits such as "You Can Leave Your Hat On" (1972), "You Are So Beautiful To Me" (1982) and "Up Where We Belong" (1983). Cocker was predominantly known as a cover artist and a live performer, as he didn't record much material of his own.

* BrieferThanTheyThink: The Grease Band have been ranked as one of the top British soul bands of the 1960s, and are famous for backing Cocker (e.g. at Woodstock) to the point where they are remembered almost exclusively for being ''his'' group... but they only played with him for about three years on two albums, before splitting up because Cocker, at the time, was reluctant to keep touring. When the singer decided to return to the road in 1970, it was with Leon Russell and the Mad Dogs and Englishmen ensemble at his back.
