This man is living proof that you can be born in Sheffield and still sing like a black man from Mississippi. His personal idol is Ray Charles; Eric Burdon and Van Morrison are among the few white singers who can be put on a par with him. His performance at the Woodstock Festival made him a cult star in the new world. The New York Times called him the best singer of all times. His name? Joe Cocker! Joe always needed a little help from his friends to get him back on his feet after an exhausting tour or a drug trip. It was this cover version of the classic Beatles song that made Joe Cocker and his first album famous, even though the title is the penultimate number of the B side. But no one minds that because all the foregoing songs are so powerful that waiting is sheer pleasure! Without a doubt, many listeners would define this compilation as the very best of Joe Cocker.

With A Little Help...

Reviewer: audiofan
Cocker's finest moment is given its due by Speakers Corner. This album was essentially an all-star recording session, with Jimmy Page, Tony Visconti, Henry McCullough, and Albert Lee - and that's just the guitar players - joining Chris Stainton, Steve Winwood, and others. The sonics are warm, richly textured, and involving, with excellent detail retrieval and presence for a 40+ year-old recording. My copy was flawless. It may not quite compare to the recent Fleetwood Mac reissue on 45 rpm, but little can, so maybe I'd give it 4-1/2 stars, if possible. But hearing these tunes in glorious analog makes such quibbles irrelevent. Costly, but to me, well worth it!
