Today Joe Cocker died. One of the greats from the golden age of rock and roll. A voice like an earthquake, the blues in the blood, the feet always on the ground. A life from deep down to the very high up, but at heart still the worker's son from Sheffield, the Ruhr England. A Woodstock veteran. Never airs and graces, always the man at the counter next to you, who still ordered a beer, if you wanted to go home already. The album "Sheffield Steel" is by far the best, most powerful and most ambitious work that Joe Cocker leaves us. For this, the most capable band, the Cocker has ever been in the studio. "Sheffield Steel" is a legacy, a gem that Joe Cocker distillate.
