Joe Cocker's movements are described as energetic and idiosyncratic. They always looked like some sort of neurological damage to me. It's a real contrast to Leon Russell, who looks as if it's not actually very interesting to be playing at a rock festival. But I loved Cocker's voice.
There was a time in late highschool, 1970 or '71 when girls wore those blue boots with big stars, called "Joe Cocker's"
Inimitable voice. Not that you can tell from that video, but Leon Russell was similarly incomparable on the piano. Wasn't he cool and unruffled?
