I had the opportunity of seeing Mr. Cocker at a concert in Dothan AL back in the 70’s. I was right at the apron of the stage and as he spasmed through his set the thought occurred that he might just throw up on me. He sure as hell gave it all he had when he gave a performance. And no he didn’t vomit; he was oozing soul.
Thanks for posting. Awesome.

His later stuff wasn’t too shabby either -check out Catfish – his tribute to Catfish Hunter.
Awesome. I need some of what he was taking! LOL
Thanks for that. I’m not sentimental, but music WAS better then. And yes, Chilton’s Boxtops were GREAT, as was Big star.
Not to mention Belushi doing a bang on impression of Cocker on SNL and then Cocker comes on stage to join in- pure gold.
