Joe Cocker: The Life Of A Man - The Ultimate Hits 1968-2013 Wersja na winylu 2LP w standardowe wydanie. Ta konkretna edycja została wydana w Europa w wydawnictwie Columbia we współpracy z Sony Music dnia 4. listopada 2016.

Joe Cocker was one of the most famous rock icons ever. He was a symbol of the '80s that had to be reckoned with in the generations of the '80s and '90s. In the early 2000s, Cocker released his last peak album "Fire It Up" before his unexpected death on December 22, 2014. The posthumously released hit album "The Life Of A Man" is now out in memory of the great artist in an "Essential Edition" on single CD and finally on (double) vinyl. The double LP is still a highlight for fans, and the "Essential Edition" is also the optimal configuration for those who would like to re-immerse themselves in all the important hits, but prefer to find everything compactly on one audio medium. With A Little Help From My Friends, Up Where We Belong, You Are So Beautiful, You Can Leave Your Hat On, Unchain My Heart, Fire It Up - all of these songs speak for themselves, embodying the soul of the music, wrapped up in a riveting interpretation of exceptional talent. For those who haven't bought into this impressive show yet, now is a good opportunity to close that gap. Joe Cocker is still a recommendation for any collection. Joe Cocker was one of the most famous rock icons of all time, his popularity spanned generations and he was known for his unique style, both in music and appearance. A symbol of the Woodstock 68 generation and, thanks to his later successes, of the 80s and 90s generation. Countless songs, although many of them are not his originals, now bear the unmistakable Joe Cocker trademark: With A Little Help From My Friends (Beatles), Summer In The City (Lovin' Spoonful), Many Rivers To Cross (Jimmy Cliff), Have A Little Faith In Me (John Hiatt) are just a few of those first attributed to his repertoire. In addition to these hits, all the major hits are represented for the first time on two packed CDs. Songs such as "You Are So Beautiful", "Cry Me A River", "Up Where We Belong", "You Can Leave Your Hat On", "Shelter Me", "Unchain My Heart" and the recent singles "Hard Knocks" and "Fire It Up" make the artist who died unexpectedly almost a year ago on 22.12.14, forever unforgettable and his work is a must-have in every music collection. Review: 'This compilation thus becomes a thrilling journey through Cocker's long career, delivering a strong overall musical picture, from "She Came In Through The Bathroom Window" to "You Can Leave Your Hat On", "Unchain My Heart", "You Are So Beautiful" and "Don't You Love Me Anymore" to "With A Little Help From My Friends"' (Good Times, February/March 2016).
