Re: Jimmy Page credit on Joe Cockers With a little help from my friends




Jimmy actually contributed to 7 tracks on Cocker's WALHFMF sessions:

- title track
- Bye Bye Blackbird (awesome 50-second solo from Jimmy on this one)
- Marjorine
- Just Like A Woman
- Sandpaper Cadillac
- Something's Coming On (B-side -- one of Cocker's best tracks of the era)
- New Age Of The Lily (B-side)

Trivia: the title track was originally recorded with Steve Winwood on guitar, but the session was such a disappointment that producer Denny Cordell brought Jimmy in the next day to re-do the entire song. I guess Page consoled Winwood by recording an (unreleased) album with him and almost inviting him to join Led Zeppelin.

Later,
