Joe Cocker was an English singer, gravel-voiced vocalist whose animated live shows (especially at Woodstock) made him a legend, perhaps the finest soul singer Britain ever produced. He hit number one in the U.K. in November 1968 with his version of the Beatles' "A Little Help from My Friends." His career really took off after he sang that song at Woodstock in August 1969. A second British hit came with a version of Leon Russell's "Delta Lady" in the fall of 1969 and both of his albums, With a Little Help from My Friends (April 1969) and Joe Cocker! (November 1969), went gold in America. In 1970, his cover of the Box Tops hit "The Letter" became his first U.S. Top Ten.

This album is smooth and mellow with a jazzy feel. The album has a diverse array of music. Track #1 ("You Can Leave Your Hat On") is perfect when you want to get frisky with your lover. When you want to relax with your significant other, put this CD in your player and play track #2 "You Are So Beautiful." This is a wonderful album. It has all my favorite Joe Cocker songs. "Have A Little Faith In Me" is my most favorite Joe Cocker song. Hollywood has even used this song in Look Who's Talking, Now. This album is full of love and support songs. Every song can bring you closer to you loved one. His voice is soothing. His voice is unique, but I think you could call this album a "make-out" CD. This album would fall under the same category as Barry White without the deep bass voice. This album has the same feel. (Review from Amazon)
