Take 2@2 Monday, May 20, 2019
Take 2@2 for Monday, May 20th, 2019. When I was a kid, Tuesday nights were reserved for the stories of Kevin Arnold. Kevin was a boy whose adolescence happened during the turbulent 1960’s. His tale was told on the ABC series The Wonder Years. During the opening credits of the show, I first heard Joe Cocker.
On this date in 1944, Joe Cocker was born. “The Mad Dog with Soul,” Joe Cocker’s incomparable voice and stage presence made him legendary. In 1969, Cocker was asked to play Woodstock. He had just released an album with a cover on it. The live version of that cover at the infamous festival made Cocker an overnight star.
The Beatles recorded “With a Little Help from My Friends” for Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.
I hope you enjoyed today’s Take 2@2, which is supported by South Street Brewery and Sarisand Tile.
