Joe Cocker

In 2012, Joe Cocker was touring in support of his album "Hard Knocks," which was released in 2010 and marked his return after a brief hiatus. The live performance at DTE Energy Music Theatre in Clarkston is notable for capturing Cocker's iconic, raspy vocals and charismatic stage presence, despite the lack of high-quality video. Interestingly, this performance included the classic "You Can Leave Your Hat On," which has become a signature song associated with Cocker since its appearance on the "9 1/2 Weeks" soundtrack. At this stage of his career, Cocker was a beloved veteran in the music industry, continuing to engage audiences with his soul-stirring renditions, even as he had experienced health challenges and personal trials over the years, a testament to the resilience of his artistry.
