Asculta azi Joe Cocker

Joe Cocker – N’oubliez Jamais (1997) 

The video features french diva, Catherine Deneuve.

Jim Cregan and Russ Kunkel wrote this song. Cregan also wrote Rod Stewart's hit "Forever Young" and "Rock A Doodle Doo" for Linda Lewis. Kunkel is a popular session drummer who is also a producer/songwriter.

On 3 June 2002, Cocker performed "With A Little Help From My Friends" accompanied by Phil Collins on drums and Queen guitarist Brian May at the Party at the Palace concert in the grounds of Buckingham Palace, an event in commemoration of the Golden Jubilee of Elizabeth II.

He attended Sheffield Central Technical School in England and worked as a gas fitter for the East Midlands Gas Board.

Joe Cocker: "Moving my hand around is subconscious with me. A lot of the time I'm more orless conducting the band, just keeping a feel. I don't know why I do it. It's just one of those things."

The lyrics are:

Papa, why do you play all the same old songs

Why do you sing with the melody

'Cause down on the street something' goin' on

There's a brand new beat and a brand new song

In my life there was so much anger

Still I have no regrets

Just like you, I was such a rebel

So dance your own dance and never forget

CHORUS:

N'oubliez jamais

I heard my father say

Every generation ha its way

A need to disobey

N'oubliez jamais

It's in your destiny

A need to disagree

When rules get in the way

N'oubliez jamais

Mama, why do you dance to the same old songs

Why do you sing only harmony

'Cause down on the street something's goin' on

There's a brand new beat and a brand new song

In my heart there's a young girls passion

For a life long duet

Someday soon someone's smile will haunt you

So sing your own song and never forget

(CHORUS)

What is this game

Searching for love or fame

That's all the same

One of this days

You say that

Love will be the cure

I'm not so sure
