Joe Cocker
. . where do you stand on him ? - - - My personal opinion . . . .. an example that even as a lowlife you can find your way in the music-business. . . . may be shocking for fans of his that I have that opinion of him , but . . . consider the following.... He was an alcoholic through and through. Some claim that that gave him his 'characteristic' voice ( his voice was deemed as being made 'of Sheffield-steel' ) but whatever. Second , he only covered other songs . . - - - So what we have here . . an alcoholic into stealing melodies of others . . He never wrote one note himself. He only got famous with a 'little help from friends' . . Hmmm . . - - - What remains to say is that , despite him being a lowlife alcie and only 'singing songs of others' , he was successful. Well . . if I poured so much whiskey each day I probably also would have a voice sounding similar to "Sheffield-steel" . . - - - I once heard that whenever he was in concert a bottle of whiskey was standing next to his mic . . - - - Interesting . . how some people make their money . . . . . . . He probably "sits at the bar in Heaven" now. Well . . not a too long life but certainly an interesting character. He 'had all the fun' even though never writing songs himself and he had a booze at every concert. Way to go . . hmmmm . . . - - - Well Joe , wherever you are now . . hope the whiskey is well. . . keep pourin'. Last edited by ColdFire; November 7th, 2019 at 11:46 PM. |
