Joe Cocker – N’oubliez Jamais (1997)
The video features french diva, Catherine Deneuve.
Jim Cregan and Russ Kunkel wrote this song. Cregan also wrote Rod Stewart's hit "Forever Young" and "Rock A Doodle Doo" for Linda Lewis. Kunkel is a popular session drummer who is also a producer/songwriter.
On 3 June 2002, Cocker performed "With A Little Help From My Friends" accompanied by Phil Collins on drums and Queen guitarist Brian May at the Party at the Palace concert in the grounds of Buckingham Palace, an event in commemoration of the Golden Jubilee of Elizabeth II.
He attended Sheffield Central Technical School in England and worked as a gas fitter for the East Midlands Gas Board.
Joe Cocker: "Moving my hand around is subconscious with me. A lot of the time I'm more orless conducting the band, just keeping a feel. I don't know why I do it. It's just one of those things."
The lyrics are:
Papa, why do you play all the same old songs
Why do you sing with the melody
'Cause down on the street something' goin' on
There's a brand new beat and a brand new song
In my life there was so much anger
Still I have no regrets
Just like you, I was such a rebel
So dance your own dance and never forget
CHORUS:
N'oubliez jamais
I heard my father say
Every generation ha its way
A need to disobey
N'oubliez jamais
It's in your destiny
A need to disagree
When rules get in the way
N'oubliez jamais
Mama, why do you dance to the same old songs
Why do you sing only harmony
'Cause down on the street something's goin' on
There's a brand new beat and a brand new song
In my heart there's a young girls passion
For a life long duet
Someday soon someone's smile will haunt you
So sing your own song and never forget
(CHORUS)
What is this game
Searching for love or fame
That's all the same
One of this days
You say that
Love will be the cure
I'm not so sure
