I've lived a sheltered life apparently. I've always known these songs, but never the man. What a trademark character. I nver had even seent eh SNL skit till now. Thanks for that. It as classic.


Never went to many concerts of anyone worth mentioning,except for three in my life. Well 4 total.  Rat, Scorpions and Poison (I think).  Maybe they are all one and the same? and the last one was Prince when he debuted Purple rain with Sheila e. I really went for my gil ...and Sheila. When I did go, it was not a great experience..or was it?  I can't remember.  All I know is that the people were very friendly and generous because they kept passing everything they had around to strangers. That was the extent of my concert life.

If I remember right Paul Mcartney paid Belushi to do the Joe Cocker skit at his Birthday Party

Cocker dug it enough himself to return to SNL a year later and did a duet

Which was extremely funny, I remember it well... Sorry for Joe, I understand he'd been pretty ill, and there are worse things than death. RIP

I could never understand how the band and backup singers could perform without cracking up. Belushi nailed it, and Cocker's good-natured participation only made it better.

Favorite Cocker song was always "Cry Me A River" live with Leon Russell.
