I was just listening to Rita Coolidge (The Lady's Not For Sale). I think she sang back up for both Cocker and Russell, didn't she?
I've been in the midst of a Joe Cocker/Leon Russell "Mad Dogs and Englishmen" revival lately. Lots of clips on YouTube including what's likely my favorite:

Lol your right its Sawyer Brown. If my memory serves me correctly they did not start out as a country band. In the beginning it was hard rock and roll. It wasn't until their later years they switched over.
Yes I would remember if I heard the songs. My brain was pretty fried up back then. Yep those were the glory years of nothing but fun, and low responsibility. Drugs, sex, and rock and roll . Almost killed me, and still paying for those mistakes today.
Cream--Sunshine of Your Love. Traffic --Low Spark of High Heeled Boys. Iron Butterfly In A Godda Divida. ( spelling ) What about the long version of Layla. Those were some of my favorites. Hearing those old rock and roll songs of the 60's and 70's always makes me smile. Who could forget Jimi , Janis and those Doors? That was talent, that was music. Such a shame their lives were so short.
Anyway, life changes and mostly I listen to jazz now. I find it soothing, relaxing. When I visit with my girlfriend we always have a rock and roll party for one evening. ( lol its all we can handle now ) We turn it up loud and sing and talk about the old days, and how lucky we were to have made something out of ours lives. Some of our friends were not so fortunate. Looking back it was a rough life. Still fun though.
