Joe Cocker – Woman To Woman

“Woman to Woman” – single by Joe Cocker from album Joe Cocker (in USA) and Something to Say (in Europe),
Released for the first time in December 1972.
Songwriters: Joe Cocker and Christopher Stainton.
Producer: Nigel Thomas

Throughout the 80s and 90s, his funk classic Woman to Woman became a go-to sample for hip-hop producers, who used the piano hook and horn stab to provide the backbone for some of hip-hop’s most influential tracks.

Dr Dre sampled Woman to Woman on the Tupac track California Love. The 1996 track helped introduce Tupac into the mainstream.

When A&M placed an advertisement for the album in Creem magazine, the ad copy read: “There is only one man in the world who can release an album named ‘Joe Cocker'”
