=== Tributes and acclaim ===

In 1994, fellow Yorkshire musician [[Philip Oakey]], on behalf of his group, [[the Human League]], said that Cocker was their "hero".<ref>"The Human League". ''[[Live & Kicking]]''. 31 December 1994. [[BBC1]]. "Never forget Joe Cocker: Joe's our hero."</ref>

The two remaining living ex-Beatles, [[Paul McCartney]] and [[Ringo Starr]], were among those who paid tribute to the singer following his death, while Cocker's agent, Barrie Marshall, said that Cocker was "without doubt the greatest rock/soul singer ever to come out of Britain".<ref name="McCartney"/> McCartney commented:

{{Blockquote|He was a lovely northern lad who I loved a lot and, like many people, I loved his singing. I was especially pleased when he decided to cover 'With a Little Help from My Friends' and I remember him and (producer) Denny Cordell coming round to the studio in [[Savile Row]] (central London) and playing me what they'd recorded and it was just mind-blowing, totally turned the song into a soul anthem and I was forever grateful to him for doing that.<ref name="McCartney">{{cite news |title=Joe Cocker dead: Sir Paul McCartney leads tributes – 'he turned my song into a soul anthem' |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/news/joe-cocker-dead-sir-paul-mccartney-leads-tributes-to-legendary-soul-and-rock-singer-who-has-died-9941272.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220609/https://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/news/joe-cocker-dead-sir-paul-mccartney-leads-tributes-to-legendary-soul-and-rock-singer-who-has-died-9941272.html |archive-date=9 June 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |access-date=22 April 2020 |work=The Independent}}</ref>}}
