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.

She Is My Lady
Joe Cocker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Her sunny smile is my only light
To love her now is the sole thing that I'm after
I'll make her melody my life
She came to me when I knew I'd lost the meaning
Lifted the shadow from across my way
She touched my heart with the sweet song she was singing
Brought back the sun into my days
Ooooh she is my lady
I'm a witness to the wonder of her ways
Oooh she's my lady
The solitary reason for my days
And sometimes when my burdens just seem too overbearing
The girl turns my tears with a single sigh
She taught me loving
And through love we both learned sharing
Right now she's every, every reason why
Ooooh she is my lady
I'm a witness to the wonder of her ways
Ooooh she's my lady
The solitary reason for my days
Oooooh, mmmmmmm
Oooooooooooooooooo
I don't have to worry cause she's my lady
OOoooo
She is my lady
And the witness goes
The wonder of her ways
Ooo
I'm so thankful
She is my lady
Yes she is
My one and only reason
For my days
Won't you help me say it
Ooooo
She is my lady
She is my lady
I'm a witness
Yeah
Oooooooooo
My one and only reason
Yeah....
