Fabulous singer, I think his name is recognized by everyone even if they're not rock lovers.
He was born John Robert Cocker in Sheffield on May 20th, 1944.
VANCE ARNOLD & THE AVENGERS
In the summer of 1963, Joe Cocker was heading his own band in his hometown Sheffield under the monicker Vance Arnold & The Avengers. Don´t know if there were previous lineups, but these were the musicians in the band in 1964:
The band was a very talented blues band. They were playing blues classics from Muddy Waters, Howlin´ Wolf, etc. long before these legends became household names.
The band passed an audition with Decca and recorded several songs but they were never released.
Next move for Cocker was to release a solo single with his real name, ´I´ll cry instead / Precious words´ in October 1964.
As the band was gaining fame, they toured France and appeared on TV. But Cocker decided retiring (!!!) in 1965. Fortunately, this was to be only a brief stop in his career.

JOE COCKER BAND
Probably around 1966, Joe Cocker comes back to the musical scene, along with his longtime friend and musical director Chris Stainton, then a young bassist:
After a gig, Joe changed the band name to Joe Cocker & The Grease Band. So this was the real original lineup, contrary to what has been written in many books and articles.
Soon after, (still in 1966 I think), Frank Myles replaced Phil Crookes as guitarist in Joe Cocker & The Grease Band:
This was to be the line up which heralded a whole new, somewhat jazzier flavored Joe Cocker featuring songs from Lou Rawls as well as the grittier R&B he was well known for - the band opened the shows with ´Satin Doll´! They worked in and around Sheffield for several months becoming more and more popular until John Pearson left the band to move to London.
To replace John Pearson in Joe Cocker & The Grease Band, Joe called his former drummer from Vance Arnold & The Avengers, Dave Memmott:
Still based in Sheffield, they played their first gig in London at the Speakeasy.
The band recorded some demos in 1967 (´Marjorine´, for example), that were heard by producer Denny Cordell who secured Joe a record deal. A single was recorded, ´Marjorine / The new age of the lily´, released in April 1968, but it was recorded by Cocker and Stainton with famed sessionmen such as Albert Lee (guitar), Jimmy Page (guitar) and Clem Cattini (drums). The other band members weren´t used in the recording.
Next step asked by management was a move to London, and a new lineup was formed, with Tommy Eyre.
This was the Joe Cocker Band in April 1968, now including a young prodigy from Sheffield on keyboards, Tommy Eyre:
After initial rehearsals in Sheffield, the band settled in London. But Gee and Reilly left the band very soon, in September 1968.
New members in October 1968, including the superb Henry McCullough:
This was the lineup that recorded Joe Cocker's first album, the worldwide famous With a little help from my friends, although many other musicians were used in it. The complete lineup only appears in 1 song, a very beautiful rendition of ´Don't let me be misunderstood´. Some other great musicians in the album: Jimmy Page, Albert Lee, David Cohen (guitar), Carol Kaye (bass), Artie Butler, the great Matthew Fisher, Steve Winwood (keyboards), Paul Humpries, the much-missed B J Wilson, Clem Cattini, Mike Kellie (drums), Merry Clayton, Brenda Holloway, Patrice Holloway, Madeline Bell, Sunny Weetman, Rosetta Hightower (backing vocals). Tommy plays in ´Just like a woman´, ´Don't let me be misunderstood´ (playing a fantastic organ solo) and the eternal ´With a little help from my friends´. A classical album.
Finally, in 1999, the remastered version appeared (it was about time!). It includes two bonus tracks: ´The new age of Lily´ (B-side of ´Marjorine´ single) and ´Something's coming on´ (B-side of ´With a little help from my friends´ single).
But by the time this album was released, Kenny Slade and Tommy had left the band (in January 69).
Many years later a live album, taken from BBC recordings, was released. It's called On air. It contains superb (and wild!) performances. It's a pity the sound quality is not perfect, but believe me, the performances are great. Listening to the work they perform in ´With a little help from my friends´ (especially Tommy Eyre and the fantastic Henry McCullough), I can't help wondering why Joe Cocker needed to use Jimmy Page for the studio track! Henry McCullough rocks!! (listen to him, for example, in ´Can't be so bad´, where Tommy's organ is also wild).
January 1969 saw a new lineup of Joe Cocker & The Grease Band. It also shows Chris Stainton changing from bass to keyboards. The new members were Alan Spenner and Bruce Rowland, who came from another fantastic band, Wynder K. Frogg (see my pages on Mick Weaver or Chris Mercer for more info on the band):
This was the band that played in Woodstock in August, where they really hit the stage with a shocking performance.
Joe and Chris met Leon Russell in 1969. Leon made a big impression on Joe, and some months later, in February 1970, Joe dissolved The Grease Band, teaming with Leon Russell in a new, almost-crazy project, Mad Dogs & Englishmen. Before that, they still released a new album, simply called Joe Cocker!, with help from Leon Russell (guitar, keyboards, vocals), Clarence White (guitar), Sneaky Pete Kleinow (steel guitar), Bonnie Bramlett (vocals), Merry Clayton (vocals), Shirley Matthews (vocals), Rita Coolidge (vocals), Patrice Holloway (vocals), Milt Holland (percussion), Paul Humphrey (drums).
It's March 1970, and Leon Russell assembles a mega-band to back Joe Cocker in an American tour. Of course, Chris Stainton goes with Joe too. Be ready to read the whole lineup of Mad Dogs & Englishmen:
The tour finished in May 1970, but a couple of concerts were recorded and filmed in March. A double live album was released, the great Mad Dogs & Englishmen. I also have the movie from the same name, that I'd categorize as a superb musical chaos. Joe abandoned the idea after that, felt exhausted and retired for a while. On his side, Leon Russell used most of the musicians for his own band Leon Russell & The Shelter People.
Many years later, the double live album has been reissued several times, but there´s a deluxe edition as a 6CD. Absolutely stunning.
When Joe Cocker joins Chris Stainton in February 1972, they change their name to Chris Stainton Band With Joe Cocker:
Can someone tell me if the live backing vocalists were at that point Viola Wills, Gloria Jones, Virginia Ayers and Beverley Gardner, please?
They released an album, Something to say, credited to Joe Cocker, with most of the lineup mentioned above (Cocker, Stainton, Hubbard, Spenner, Alphonso, Sherbo, Isadore, Keltner, White), and Jim Horn (sax), Milton Sloane (sax), the late Rebop Kwaku Baah (percussion), plus vocals by Virginia Ayers, Viola Wills and Gloria Jones.
And then, they started changing musicians.
Around 1972, this was another edition of the Chris Stainton Band that backed Joe Cocker:
And I don´t have more details, so any info would be very appreciated.
This was the Chris Stainton Band that backed Joe Cocker during part of the tour of 1972:
This was the lineup for Joe Cocker Band in their tour in 1972:
They recorded five tracks for the live album Live in LA, released in 1976, but recorded in 1972.
This is a different configuration for Joe Cocker Band in their tour in 1972, now including Conrad Isidore and Glenn ´Ross´ Campbell:
They recorded two tracks for the live album Live in LA, released in 1976, but recorded in 1972.
And again, a different configuration for Joe Cocker Band in their tour in 1972, now including Jim Keltner on drums:
They recorded two tracks for the live album Live in LA, released in 1976, but recorded in 1972.
And then, Chris Stainton left Joe Cocker in February 1973 to concentrate on studio work.
Then, Joe released two studio albums produced by mate Jim Price: I can stand a little rain (released in August 1974) and Jamaica say you will (released in April 1975).
Joe Cocker played a live press show in LA in June 1974, but I´ve never been able to know who were the musicians backing him here. Does anybody know, please?
This was the live band that Joe Cocker assembled to promote his then brand new album I can stand a little rain, bringing back Henry McCullough and Jimmy Karstein with him:
After a period of rehearsals, inside problems soon arose and the band split in August 1974, before the tour started.
This was the new live band that Joe Cocker assembled in August 1974 as he needed to start his announced tour. They were dubbed as Joe Cocker & The Cock´n´Bull Band, and it featured the great Albert Lee:
But Greg Brown was soon replaced.
This was the new lineup for Joe Cocker & The Cock´n´Bull Band still in 1974, with new bassist Andy Denno:
The band split when the tour finished in December 1974.
In January 1975, Joe Cocker assembles a new live band, a mixture of British musicians and American sessionmen:
Albert Lee left them in March 1975, after a tour in Australia, to form his own band.
From March to May 1975, the Joe Cocker Band carried on with the tour promoting Jamaica say you will with only one guitarist, the superb Cornell Dupree:
In January 1976, Joe Cocker hires the complete Stuff band as live band for promoting his then-new album Stingray (released in April 1976). They were billed as Joe Cocker & Stuff:
They finished touring in September 1976. Stuff went their own way, and Joe Cocker teamed with Kokomo for his next tour.
In December 1976, Joe Cocker & Kokomo joined forces for a short tour:
Kokomo comprised several ex-members of Cocker´s Grease Band, such as Hubbard and Spenner.
In January 1977, Kokomo split and Cocker stopped touring for a long period.
Does anybody know if Paddy McHugh was also in this lineup, please?
In September 1978, Joe Cocker assembles a new backing band under the name Joe Cocker & The American Standard Band with the core of an existing band:
This was the band that toured to promote Cocker´s Luxury you can afford, released that same month.
I think they played together until 1979, approximate.
And, from here on, I just include the lineups that I know due to being credited in live concerts, adverts for gigs, tour books, live videos, etc., as I have no better way to collect this info. So any additional information to complete this page would be VERY welcomed. I've been collecting details on Cocker tours for years, but my knowledge is still limited.
In October 1980, this is the live band backing Joe Cocker for his appearance at German show Rockpalast:
I have a live recording by Joe Cocker, probably from early 1981, with this personnel:
Can someone help me with more details on the period, please?
And another different edition of Joe Cocker Band, probably around May 1981:
And even another different edition of Joe Cocker Band, taken from a live DVD recorded in Italy, I guess in 1981 too:
This lineup of Joe Cocker Band is featured in a live video recorded in Paris, don´t know the date (help!):
This was the lineup of Joe Cocker Band that appeared at Rockpalast show in August 1983:

The shows also featured Fernando Saunders (bass) and Simon Phillips (drums) as part of Jeff Beck Band, as well as assorted guest appearances by other mates such as Ronnie Lane, Ron Wood (guitar), Ian ´Stu´ Stewart (keyboards), Tony Hymas (keyboards) or Jan Hammer (keyboards).

JOE COCKER BAND (again)
This was the Joe Cocker Band that played at Montreux Festival in July 1987:
This was the Joe Cocker Band around summer 1988:
This was the Joe Cocker Band around July 1989 when they played in Spain, with the very nice surprise of finding Chris Stainton again!:
But soon later, they augment the lineup (the Live album was recorded in October 1989 with this new one):
I also have a video of a Joe Cocker concert for the German 'Ohne Filter' TV show, from 1988, and I think Chris was featured there, but I cannot find where I have the tape, to confirm the lineup.
I guess Chris Stainton kept on playing with more different incarnations of Joe Cocker Band, but it's extremely difficult finding info about the Joe Cocker Band lineups. Help, please!
In 1991, Joe Cocker appears at Rock In Rio Festival with a new lineup (please, help me, as the lineup is incomplete, just from I can recognize from my videotape):
This is another lineup for Joe Cocker in 1991 (without backing vocalists?):
There´s a live DVD from the Nigh calls tour, but I can´t find the list of players (maybe from 1991 or even 1992. With Cocker, Grande, Stainton, but can´t check the others, as I don´t have it - help with info, please!).
This is another lineup for Joe Cocker in 1992, when they played in Dortmund:
A live DVD was recorded from that gig, The best of Joe Cocker live.
This was the Joe Cocker Band that played at Montreux Festival in July 1992:
Around October 1996, Joe Cocker plays a show for German Ohne Filter TV show with this great band with mostly American musicians but a welcome return to Chris Stainton:
This concert was later released on DVD.
Cocker also toured promoting the Organic album, but I´m not sure if this was also the band for the whole tour.
This was the Joe Cocker Band for the Across from midnight tour, in 1997 (and probably 1998 too):
This is the (incomplete) lineup for Joe Cocker Band around 2000:
I can´t find proper info about this particular lineup. The bassist in the 1998 tour was Warren McRae, then I think Federico arrived. But by 2001 the new bassist was Onieda James.
Can anybody help me with info, please?
This was the Joe Cocker Band in 2001:
This was the Joe Cocker Band that played at Montreux Festival in July 2002, as part of the Respect yourself tour:
They also recorded the DVD Live in Cologne in 2002.
From January to March 2005, Joe Cocker and this band played the American leg of the Heart & Soul tour:
One question. Was Nicky Cranston a backing vocalist in this tour too? Maybe replacing Nichelle Tillman? Does anybody know?
And the European leg of the Heart & Soul tour by Joe Cocker happened from April to July 2005, with just one change in the band, with Norbert Fimpel instead of Euge Grove:
This was the Joe Cocker Band in the tour 2007:
This was the Joe Cocker Band that played a South American tour around March 2012:
This was the Joe Cocker Band in September 2012:
A live DVD by this band was included as a bonus in the premium edition of the Fire it up album.
Joe Cocker finally lost his battle against lung cancer on December 22nd, 2014. He died in Crawford, Colorado. What a great loss to music!
This page has been written just less than one day after Joe passed away. I've done my best to be as complete as I could, but haven't had time to check all my text, and I still need to add album scans, photos, etc. I'll be adding them along the days.
