Trivia
In a now-famous performance on the television show Saturday Night Live (1975), he appeared on stage singing "Feelin' All Right", when cast member John Belushi, wearing near identical clothes, entered the stage and stood next to Cocker, doing an incredible impersonation of him. The two sang the lines of the song alternately. A music critic wrote of the performance, "John Belushi sounded more like Cocker than Cocker did!".
