His first album featured a recording of the Beatles' "With a Little Help from My Friends", which brought him to near-instant stardom. The song reached number one in the UK in 1968, became a staple of his many live shows (Woodstock and the Isle of Wight in 1969, the Party at the Palace in 2002) and was also known as the theme song for the late 1980s American TV series The Wonder Years. He continued his success with his second album, which included a second Beatles song: "She Came In Through the Bathroom Window". A hastily thrown together 1970 US tour led to the live double-album Mad Dogs & Englishmen, which featured an all-star band organized by Leon Russell. His 1974 recording of "You Are So Beautiful" reached number five in the US, and became his signature song. Cocker's best selling song was the US number one "Up Where We Belong", a duet with Jennifer Warnes that earned a 1983 Grammy Award. He released a total of 22 studio albums over a 43-year recording career.
In 1993, Cocker was nominated for the Brit Award for Best British Male. He was awarded a bronze Sheffield Legends plaque in his hometown in 2007, and received an OBE the following year for services to music. Cocker was ranked number 97 on Rolling Stone's 100 greatest singers list.

Crazy in Love
Joe Cocker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Steals the feelings from a love affair
And there's no place to lay the blame
'Cause it ain't a case of no one cares
Helplessly we just watch it fade away
Neither of us will admit it
But we're both aching to say
Weeooh I miss the days when we were
Crazy in love
When you weren't so sure of me
And I had my little jealousies
Weeooh bring back the days when we were
Crazy in love
I want to feel that way again
Remember when
We were crazy in love
It used to be so easy
One touch and I was high
I could get intoxicated
Just by looking in your eyes
Baby ain't there anything we can do
'Cause I know you're missing me
As much as I've been missing you
[Chorus]
We were more than best of friends
We were crazy in love
The lyrics of Joe Cocker's song "Crazy in Love" is a reflection about the sadness felt as time passes with a lover, and the love fades away. The artist highlights that it's ironic how time gradually takes away the emotions and energy felt in a past love affair. There's no one to blame, and the singer notes that no one seems to care. They are left in a situation where they can only watch as their love slowly fades. The singer acknowledges that they both know it's happening; however, neither of them is willing to admit it. The artist then goes on to reminiscence about the past times and memories when they were happy together.
In the chorus, the singer describes how they miss the days when their love was flourishing. The days when they were so into each other, they were "Crazy in Love." The days when they both had doubts and feelings of jealousy, but were still more connected than ever. The artist wishes for a resurgence of that intense feeling, asking for the days to return when they were "Crazy in Love."
