Joe Cockerwas born in Sheffield, England on May 20, 1944, the youngest son of a civil servant. In 1961 Joe by day, worked as an apprentice gas fitter and by night, in dark suit and bow tie, became singing with Avengersin rough Sheffield pubs. The set included songs by mentor Ray Charles"What'd I Say" and "Georgia On My Mind." Vance Arnold and the Avengers biggest moment came in 1963 when they supported The Rolling Stones at Sheffield City Hall, and brought the house down. The following year Joe left the Gas Board and released his first single, a cover of The Beatles "I'll Cry Instead." His band, Joe Cocker Big Blues, built up a large following in the north of England and ventured to France for a two month stint, playing on American airbases. The servicemen, many from America's deep south, loved Joe.

Could You Be Loved Lyrics

Joe Cocker

Say something, say something

Could you be loved and be loved
Could you be loved and be loved

Don't let them fool you
Or even try to school you...oh no
We've got a mind of our own
So go to hell if what you're thinking is not right
Love would never leave us alone
In the darkness there must come out to light

Could you be loved and be loved
Could you be loved and be loved

The road of life is rocky
And you may stumble too
So while you point your fingers
Someone else is judging you
Love your brother man

Could you be.... could you be...could you be loved
Could you be.... could you be loved

Don't let them change you
Or even rearrange you ..oh no
We've got a live to live
They say only only only
The fittest of the fittest shall survive
Stay alive

Could you be loved and be loved
Could you be loved and be loved

Ain't gonna miss your water
Until your well runs dry
No matter how you treat him the man will never be satisfied

Could you be.... could you be...could you be loved
Could you be.... could you be loved

Say something, say something

Could you be.... could you be...could you be loved
Could you be.... could you be loved
