RE-CHARTS:
1 - (1972)
1 - (1972)
2 - (1989)
3 - (1992)
4 - (1992)
SOME TRIVIA:
6 of Joe Cocker's hits were written (or co-written) by Canadians ...
- Bird on A Wire (written by Leonard Cohen)
- Up Where We Belong (co-written by Buffy Saint-Marie)
- Edge of A Dream (Theme From 'Teachers') (written by Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance)
- All Our Tomorrows (written by Eddie Schwartz; his original 1981 version was a Top 40 hit in both Canada and the USA)
- When the Night Comes (co-written by Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance)
- I'm Your Man (written by Leonard Cohen)
Cocker's rendition of 'Bird on A Wire' was the first ever version to chart in Canada, as Leonard Cohen never had a hit with it. In 1990, The Neville Brothers took it to #1 in Canada. Neither version reached the US Hot 100, but the Neville Brothers scored #31 on the US AC Chart

'Teachers' is like one of the greatest soundtracks of all time, so naturally I had to pick 'Edge of A Dream' 8)
I also picked 'A Woman Loves A Man' which also comes from a soundtrack ... 'Bull Durham'.

Great poll! Joe Cocker's great. Tough choice, but I picked "High Time We Went" and "The Letter".
I may change my mind tomorrow... ::)
