November 6, 1968 📻

[Floyd R. Turbo]

Joe Cocker was at No.1 in the UK singles chart with his version of The Beatles song 'With A Little Help From My Friends'. The song was also a UK No.1 for Wet Wet Wet in 1988 and Pop Idol duo Sam and Mark in 2004.

3. Love Joe

And it's a damn shame he's not in the Rock and Roll Hallof Fame. Actually, correction, it's a travesty and makes a joke of the hall that he's not been recognized. "Mad Dogs and Englishmen" alone should have gotten him on the ballot.

6. Indeed!

4. My favorite Beatles cover.

5. My mother, born in the teens, requested I wear headset listening to my

music over my teen years.

But the first time Joe Cocker appeared on the Ed Sullivan show she watched his performances.

Next time he was scheduled to perform on a TV show I reminded her and she sat down next to me and watched him and seemed intrigued.

His was the only rock artist performance I remember her intentionally listening to.
