“Feelin’ Alright” (1969 issue - Joe Cocker) #69 7/19/1969

This did way better on re-issue on 1972, making the Top 40; here’s the first release of Joe Cocker’s take on this rock standard. Artie Butler played the piano with that distinctive intro. Trivia: Artie did the organ riff at the end of both “Society’s Child” (Janis Ian) and “Indian Reservation” (Raiders). Those two endings kinda sound alike. Carol Kaye of the Wrecking Crew was on bass, and congas were by Laudir de Oliveira, part of Chicago for a few years, notably on “Call On Me.”
