The ballad You Are So Beautiful, with Cocker’s voice cracking on the final emotional note, was a Top Ten hit in 1975. He reached the top of the charts in the 1980s with the duet Up Where We Belong, with Jennifer Warnes, that appeared in the movie An Officer and a Gentlemen.
Cocker also had hits with Randy Newman’s song, You Can Leave Your Hat On and When the Night Comes.
