“With A Little Help From My Friends” (Joe Cocker) #68 12/14/1968

No, this isn’t called “Theme From The Wonder Years,“ though it was. Joe Cocker’s first US chart record was his only UK #1 hit, a radical rearrangement of this tune from “Sgt. Pepper.” Jimmy Page played lead guitar here; Tommy Eyre did the organ intro. Tommy also played on Gerry Rafferty’s “Baker Street” and “Right Down The Line.” This wasn’t the only Beatles song Joe covered.
