Joe Cocker

Joe Cocker was one of the greatest blue-eyed soul musicians of all time. He was greatly commercially successful, helped popularize the genre, and made a major impact. Other notable blue-eyed soul acts include The Rascals, Blood, Sweat, and Tears, and Traffic. He performed at the legendary Woodstock Music and Art Fair of 1969. After the producers of the 1960s-themed comedy The Wonder Years were unable to secure The Beatles version of With a Little Help from My Friends for the theme song, they were able to secure Cocker's version. He has been considered for the Hall of Fame before but not chosen. This made it very disappointing after he passed away in 2014. Two gold albums. Numerous hit singles.
