Happy Birthday to Mad Dogs, Englishmen, and Joe Cocker!!!

In ninth grade, I'd only heard OF Joe Cocker, never actually heard any songs by him. Then, my geography teacher, Ed Raskind, brought in Joe's second album and played it one day for the class, (anyone who knows Ed and my high school knows this was not an unusual occurence). The first cut he played was "She Came In Through The Bathroom Window" and I was totally hooked! What a voice! The spiritual son of Ray Charles. Essential.
