Joe Cocker

God, I'm just a fat bald guy, 60 years old, singing the blues, you know?

I have always been a sucker for ballads, but you have to be careful these days, you can't overload people.

Well, we have this place in Telluride, Colorado. It's somewhere I can just get away and relax and think.

Recently, I was in Bernalda, my dad's ancestral home town in Italy. He has just refurbished a palazzo and turned it into a hotel, so we had my sister's wedding there. It was beautiful.

My style is Edie Sedgwick meets Grace Jones, or Audrey Hepburn meets Salt 'n' Pepa. Strong and feisty but still classic.

I like being in a recording studio. I like watching a song go from the simplicity of the original music.
