活躍於流行樂壇超過四十年,出身於英國Sheffield的Joe Cocker喬庫克,以低沉渾厚的煙嗓、強勁獨特的風格,縱橫樂壇多年並成為樂壇備受尊崇的音樂傳奇之一。1968年,Joe以翻唱披頭四的一曲〈With A Little Help From My Friends〉,成功拿下英國金榜冠軍寶座,並成為英國樂壇爆紅的矚目歌手,並收邀參加隔年舉辦的世紀音樂季Woodstock,知名度一路攀升,在七零年代大出風頭。1999年獲Mojo選入「百大歌手名單」第57名、2008年亦再度獲滾石雜誌評選為「百大歌手」名單第97名,音樂魅力橫跨美洲、歐洲,擴散到全世界。其原始粗礪、渾厚感傷的嗓音及極具個人特色的舞台風格,透過藍調搖滾詮釋出充滿生命力的音樂,穿越兩個世紀,至今仍屹立不搖。
I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one
Adore you and want you so
I'm just a no one
With nothing to give you but
I love you
He, he buys you diamonds
Bright, sparkling diamonds
But believe me, dear, when I say
That he can give you the world
But he'll never love the way
I love you
He can take you any place he wants
To fancy clubs and restaurants
But I can only watch you with
My nose pressed up against the window pane
I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one
Must watch you go dancing by
Wrapped in the arms of somebody else
When, darling, it's I
Who'll love you
