Joe Cocker has practically built his entire career on covering someone else's songs. However, the way he does that is by making the song his own and radically different than the original version he's covering. Pretty much all of his hits were penned by others and usually with someone else in mind, but this short English singer is packed so full of soul that it just transpires into every song his voice is lent to. Such is the case for this cover of the Cohen "First We Take Manhattan" to the point where (I know others would cry "blasphemy") I prefer his version.
