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.

It's Only Love Lyrics

Joe Cocker

(John ShanksShelly Peiken)

It's Never Too Late To Turn A Night Into Day
I'll Meet You Halfway And We'll See It Through
We're Just Standing Here
There's Only Me And You
Don't Tell Me You Don't Feel It
Cause I Feel It Too
Well These Dreams We Can Use
Gods Grace Is Living Proof
We'll Take The Time, And Get It Right
So Come On, Come On, Come On
I Know We Can Make It
I'll Hold You In My Arms
It's Only Love That Keeps Us Strong
So Come On, Come On, Come On
So Much We've Wasted
We're Right Where We Belong
I't Only Love That Keeps Us Strong
Never Too Late To Finally Take A Second Chance
And I Saw Mine, When I Saw You
Everything Changed The Moment We Began Again
Our Broken Hearts Were Pulling Through
Something Real, Something Close
Helped Us Feel, And Let Us Go
So Here We Are, Now We Know

So Come On, Come On, Come On
I Know We Can Make It
I'll Hold You In My Arms
It's Only Love That Keeps Us Strong
So Come On, Come On, Come On
So Much Time We've Wasted
We're Right Where We Belong
I't Only Love That Keeps Us Strong

I Have Been A Beggar
And Yu Have Been A Fool
We've Been Lost Beyond Repair
But You Have Touched My Soul
And I Have Bent Your Rules
Only Love Could Save Us
Show Us What We're Made Of

So Come On, Come On, Come On
I Know We Can Make It
I'll Hold You In My Arms
It's Only Love That Keeps Us Strong
So Come On, Come On, Come On
So Much Time We've Wasted
We're Right Where We Belong
I't Only Love That Keeps Us Strong
