Joe Cocker - Saint James Infirmary.

This is a rare version of this old Blues performed by Joe Cocker in his unique style.

I ripped the song from my old 33 rpm vinyl and made this video. After posting it on YouTube a friend sent me an MP3 file copied from a CD. I thank all the people who offered me the digital version. And I also thank all your comments and postings on this video. Best regards.

I found some information about this song at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._James_Infirmary_Blues where you can see that many singers have sung this song, but Joe Cocker is not even mentioned as one of its performers.

One of the most famous recordings of this song was made by Louis Armstrong in 1928.

Nevertheless, this is one of my favorite songs from Joe Cocker. I tried to match the lyrics of this particular version by listening to it and trying to match it to the several variations that exist. I have to say that I'm not completely satisfied with the results but this is the best I could do.

Enjoy.

Other songs by Joe Cocker:

"the letter", "woman to woman", "with a little help", "you are so beautiful"
