Joe Cocker: Mad Dog with Soul

The stormy life of the blues/rock singer with the unforgettably gritty voice and trademark spasmodic body movements. Joe Cocker, who died in 2014, catapulted to international fame in 1969 at Woodstock with his legendary performance of “With a Little Help from My Friends,” and—despite endless struggles with alcohol and drugs—managed a surprisingly long career as what Billy Joel called “one of the great primal rock and roll vocalists of all time.” Filled with surprising images, nutty stories, and electric performance footage, the film mixes Cocker’s own words with stories told by his family, friends, and legendary collaborators.

This film is part of the Sounds of Summer 2018: Music Films, Old and New series.
