Joe Cocker, from Mad Dogs & Englishmen.  I saw this film when it came out, as a double feature with Yellow Submarine.  My dad says that, at 32, he was by far the oldest person in the theater, and of course my brothers & I were the youngest.


actually this was the orig studio version from his '69 LP.
 


10:37am   JOE COCKER
DELTA LADY (LIVE)
Album: MAD DOGS & ENGLISHMEN

Hard to say from their music log actually.


it was definitely not the live version, and Bob backannounced it as being from his self-titled LP.  The live MD&E set didn't come out until mid-'70.
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round

WOS 3DN's "Try a Little Tenderness", an unnecessary white re-tread of the Otis Redding arrangement.


Cory Wells explained some years later that he recorded it faithful to Otis's arrangement because he was broken up by Otis's death and wanted to pay tribute.  Needless as a radio single, perhaps, and definitely sounding far different from the rest of their oeuvre, but I still like his vamping over the close.  I guess Chuck and Danny just stood and shook tambourines.
