I don’t remember if I first saw or heard of Joe Cocker via the Woodstock film, but it was around that time. I also certainly heard him on the FM radio, or playing in hippie record stores. More white R&B than ‘rock’, it still sounded unique to my young ears. I wonder if he’ll ever write an autobiography? I, for one, would buy / read it.

The new century is moving forward, Mr. Cocker is still alive – and the newest record by him that I can fully support is his ’72 song “Woman to Woman”, which I heard played a lot at the time. Which album is it on? I’m not sure that I have that one.

I never saw the “Mad Dogs & Englishmen” film at the time – I believe my intro to Leon Russell was either hearing him with Joe Cocker or in the Bangla Desh film. Certainly by ’72, Mr. Russell had “Tightrope” on the radio – and he came into his own in a very mainstream yet acceptable way. And I have a legit DVD of the “Mad Dogs…” film.

Hip-O Select, a custom label of Universal – has released a 6CD set of the concerts that the 2LP/2CD of “Mad Dogs & Englishmen” was culled from. $60. I wonder if I’ll find a cheap one of those in a used bin somewhere? They’re also finally re-releasing the CD of “Joe Cocker!”, his 2^nd album – but no bonus tracks (the re-issue of his debut, “With A Little Help From My Friends” has 2 x cool bonus tracks). And Mr. Cocker is a “Millennium Collection” artist – so can I get rid of the other two collections I have on CD? I definitely want to keep “Woman to Woman” on both vinyl and CD (and I don’t think it’s on the “Millennium Collection”).
