Joe Cocker

“I have sung to large crowds since then, and there is a feeling that once you get over 100,000 people, you kind of lose the control element, you don't know if you are really getting through or not.”

“Well, over the years, I've developed a stable of songs of which I'm known for and never get tired of singing.”

“It's nice to get a response from the artists that I cover.”

“Europe is usually where I am usually galloping around.”

“I think to be a good songwriter, you have to be able to play an instrument.”

“I was in Germany when the wall came down.”

“Some of the songs I do once in a while that I kinda... my set list is basically like my hits, there is a good reason why they are there; people really like them.”

“I have one message for young musicians around the world: Stay true to your heart, believe in yourself, and work hard.”

“I had a job when I was 16 at a gas fitter, which was a bit like a pipe fitter.”

“When I look back, I didn't take care of myself at all.”
