Etching, 'Cockerin' (Joe Cocker), by David Oxtoby, 1974.
David Oxtoby (b. 1938) is a Yorkshire-born painter and print-maker who has devoted himself to the celebration of rock music and the commemorations of rock idols. He attended the Bradford Regional College of Art from 1950 to 1957 . Oxtoby has captured Elvis Presley, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Elton John, Roger Daltrey, Stevie Wonder, and Mick Jagger to name but a few. Most of them painted from collections of photographs rather than from life. Oxtoby said "I try not to meet them, I don't want to spoil my image of them".
Joe Cocker is an English rock and blues musician and composer who reached high popularity in the 1960s. His voice combines a love of American soul music with an undeniable depth of feeling. He is well known for his cover versions of popular songs especially his monumental Woodstock performance of the Beatles' "With a Little Help From My Friends."
