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,
Scott
