Joe Cocker discography

This Joe Cocker discography lists the recordings plus live appearances of John Robert "Joe" Cocker, OBE (20 May 1944 – 22 December 2014), the English rock and blues musician, composer and actor who came to popularity in the 1960s, and became known for his gritty voice, his idiosyncratic arm movements while performing, and his cover versions of popular songs, particularly those of the Beatles.

Cocker received several awards, including a 1983 Grammy Award for his recording of "Up Where We Belong", a duet he performed with the American singer-songwriter Jennifer Warnes. He was ranked No. 97 on Rolling Stones 100 greatest singers list.
