Prošla je gotovo godina dana od kada Joe Cocker nažalost više nije s nama. Umro je sa sedamdeset godina u svojem domu, 22.prosinca 2014. Neprežaljena britanska rock zvijezda, osebujnoga glasa, objavila je tijekom karijere 22 studijska albuma, 10 live albuma, 68 singlova i brojne kompilacije za što je naravno primio i mnogobrojne nagrade. Posljednji studijskim albumom “Fire It Up”, objavljenim 2012. za Sony Music, dostigao je platinastu nakladu. Na turneji koja je pratila izdanje, nastupio je u 35 arena i na 30 festivala te prodao ukupno 400 tisuća ulaznica.
Njemu u čast, Sony Music objavljuje 20. studenoga ‘The Life Of A Man’, prvi opsežan, dupli album s hitovima i vrhuncima njegove karijere. Album je presijek Cockerove karijere i to od 1968 i pjesme ‘Marjorine’ pa sve do ‘You Are So Beautiful’, snimljene uživo na trijumfalnoj turneji 2013. Album uključuje 36 nezaboravnih pjesama, među kojima su i: ‘The Letter’ and ‘Cry Me A River’, ‘You Are So Beautiful’, ‘You Don’t Love Me Anymore’, ‘Many Rivers To Cross’, ‘Up Where We Belong’, ‘You Can Leave Your Hat On’, ‘Come Together’, ‘Hard Knocks’ i ‘Fire It Up’.
