ジョー・コッカーはビートルズの"With a Little Help from My Friends"のソウルフルなカヴァー（ギターはジミー・ペイジ）が売れ、翌年アルバム・デビューした歌手です。ゴスペル～ソウル～スワンプ系の濃い歌声・アレンジが魅力だと思います。60年代末に爆発的に売れたものの70年代前半は全く売れず負債を抱えオマケに麻薬の不法所持で逮捕されたりしていますが、1974年の"I Can Stand a Little Rain"と1975年の"Jamaica Say You Will"は非常に充実しており、低迷期を乗り越えつつあった事が感じられます。

"Jamaica Say You Will"
1971年6月にバーズの演奏で世に出て、半年後の1972年1月に作曲者ジャクソン・ブラウンのデビュー作に収められた名曲です。
Jamaica was the lovely one, I played her well
As we lay in the tall grass where the shadows fell
Hiding from the children so they would not tell
We would stay there 'till her sister rang the evening bell
Jamaica, say you will
Help me find a way to fill these empty hours
Say you will come again tomorrow
The daughter of a captain on the rolling seas
She would stare across the water from the trees
Last time he was home he held her on his knees
And said the next time they would sail away just where they pleased
Jamaica, say you will
Help me find a way to fill these lifeless sails
And stay until my ships can find the sea
Jamaica was a sweet young one, I loved her true
She was a comfort and a mercy through and through
Hiding from this world together, next thing I knew
We had brought her things down to the bay
- what could I do
Jamaica, say you will
Help me find a way to fill these sails
And we will sail until our waters have run dry
