    This is the album that introduced Joe Cocker to the world. His timing was stunning, as the album’s release and top 40 chart status earned him a spot at the Woodstock festival, where his performance mesmerized an entire generation.

    Cocker’s embrace (and exaggeration) of Ray Charles’ sound and mannerisms rendered him unforgettable, whether singing unique arrangements of well-known songs or his own material. The world was not necessarily looking for a male version of Janis Joplin, but Cocker’s unhinged style made comparisons unavoidable. With the simple act of singing, Joe Cocker altered the direction of rock and roll, and it started with this album.
