“Joe Cocker did something no one had achieved before him. He interpreted a Beatles song (‘A little Help From My Friends’) above and beyond how the Beatles had themselves. It made him an instant giant, a musical wonder of the world of music I was immersed in, and forever and always one of the greats.
I had the honor of meeting this deeply gracious and soulful man years later when he recorded three of my songs. It wouldn’t have happened without the support of Joe’s producers at the time, Dan Hartman and Charlie Midnight. Wonderful music makers all – thank you Joe, thank you Dan and thank you Charlie”
