Joe Cocker

God, I'm just a fat bald guy, 60 years old, singing the blues, you know?

I love songs that have a rocking and grooving feeling.

Well, we have this place in Telluride, Colorado. It's somewhere I can just get away and relax and think.

I like being in a recording studio. I like watching a song go from the simplicity of the original music.

My style is Edie Sedgwick meets Grace Jones, or Audrey Hepburn meets Salt 'n' Pepa. Strong and feisty but still classic.

Recently, I was in Bernalda, my dad's ancestral home town in Italy. He has just refurbished a palazzo and turned it into a hotel, so we had my sister's wedding there. It was beautiful.
