Joe Cocker, una de las voces más particulares que la música ha dado en las últimas décadas. El hombre de tez blanca y voz desgarradora con tinte de color, lleva más de 40 años en la música con éxitos como "Unchain My Heart", "You Are So Beautiful" o la archiconocida -especialmente por el striptease de Kim Basinger- "You Can Leave Your Hat On". El pasado mes publicó su nuevo disco titulado de la misma forma que su video presentación, Hard Knocks. Es una nueva etapa con cambio de compañía, ahora con Sony Music, producción de Matt Serletics -conocido por trabajos para Rob Thomas, Collective Soul o Carlos Santana- sacando a la luz nueve temas, más una versión que grabó como le gusta a él, con la banda tocando en directo, demostrando que a pesar de sus 66 años este inglés sigue teniendo el alma en sus cuerdas vocales.
Oh yeah!
Didn’t take nothin’ that I didn’t need
‘Cause they didn’t offer classes in what I wanted to be
They didn’t offer manhood responsibility
Had to learn it the hard way
Earn my degree in the streets
Graduated from hard knocks
I got my hotnewsonglyrics.com education
And hard knocks
Gettin’ in and out of situations
Hard knocks
Got the bumps and the bruises to prove it
Hard knocks!
…………………… without feelin’ the burn
And I ain’t got nothin’ that I did not earn
Chasin’ that ooooh still hittin’ the books
Studying Donnie and Stevie
Learn to sail the hooks
Talk about those hard knocks
Got the bumps and the bruises to prove it
Hard knocks
……………..
Hard knocks
I torn the streets
Hard knocks
Had a real good teacher named Mr. Life
Didn’t teach no chemistry
But he taught me how to fight
Didn’t teach biology
But I learned it from the birds and the bees
Said stay close to your friends
Even closer to your enemies
oh yeah yeah yeah

Me encanta Joe Cocker. Su versión de "With a little help from my friends" siempre me ponía el bello de punta! No sabía que sacara nuevo disco. Le seguiré la pista por descontado.
Gracias por la información!
No hay de que Reina del Super, Joe Cocker tiene ese "algo especial" en algunas de sus canciones, es la forma de interpretarlas con esa voz especial.
Un saludo
