His performance at Woodstock in August 1969 propelled him to the forefront, and Joe Cocker knew that the album that followed had to live up to expectations. Bingo! With *Mad Dogs & Englishmen*, made with songwriter and pianist Leon Russell the following year.
The album, a furious, soul-drenched live recording from New York's Fillmore East, was accompanied by a documentary film. Blues, rhythm'n'blues, gospel and blue-eyed soul ooze from this truly powerful live testimony.
