Hey you, party animals! In 1969, for those of you who can remember back that far, Joe Cocker blew audiences away when he was on tour with Mad Dogs and Englishmen. The reason why, in a word, was his voice. Ray Charles called him the one disciple, his one real disciple. Here's one mad dog who has never been tamed, the finest white soul singer on the planet, the man, Joe Cocker!

Переведите отрывок из песни В. Высоцкого «Баллада о любви»
И много будет странствий и скитаний, Страна Любви — великая страна. И с рыцарей своих для испытаний Все строже станет спрашивать она, Потребует разлук и расстояний, Лишит покоя, отдыха и сна.
Но вспять безумцев не поворотить, Они уже согласны заплатить, Любой ценой, и жизнью бы рискнули, Чтобы не дать порвать, чтоб сохранить Волшебную невидимую нить, Которую меж ними протянули.
Свежий ветер избранных пьянил, С ног сбивал, из мертвых воскрешал, Потому что если не любил, Значит и не жил, и не дышал.
There are going to be long wanderings The country of Love — is a great country And her knights for ordeals She will be asking for more and more She will demand separation And will deprive them of rest and sleep.
But you can't turn them back Those insane are ready to pay At any cost, and they would give their lives For saving , not to let be torn The magical invisible thread That has been stretched among them.
Fresh wind besotted a chosen few. He would sweep them off their feet, And would rise from the dead Because if you have never loved Then you never lived, and never breathed.
And there will be many travellings and wanderings, the realm of Love is a great country. And it will more and more decidedly ask its knights for trials, will demand partings and long distances, will deprive them of calmness, rest and sleep. But it's impossible to turn the mad people back, they are already agreeable to pay any price and would take the risk of their lives not to allow to tear the magic invisible thread that has been stretched between them. The fresh wind made the peculiar persons drunk, knocked them off their feet, raised from the dead. Because, if one hasn't loved, he hasn't lived and hasn't breathed.
There will be lots of wanderings and rambles, The Land of Love is a distinguished land, Still more and more she is asking knights of her for courage and devotion, Demanding distances and partings, Whereas depriving them of rest and peace and sleep.
Insanity can no way resist to go on falling, And willingly they pay the cost of life For the mysterious ethereal link, The one which had been built between them, be lasting and secure, for any price.
The heroes were drunk of the bracing wind, It knocked them down and raised them from the dead, For if you didn't ever fall in love, Then you did not exist and didn't breathe.
And should be many wanderings and prowl, A Love realm is great realm. And from its knights for trial goal It will begin to ask more severe, It will demand a distance and a solitude And will bring them restlessness, weariness and a lack of sleep.
But nothing can turn such a madman back For they agree for any pay By any price and even life they would risk For keep a faint magic thread, which they were bound, untorn.
A fresh wind made selected drunk And knocked them down and made alive For if you have not loved You have not lived and breathed
There will be much of travelling and roaming, The land of love spreads out for many miles. Severely it will challenge in their wanderings All those who title themselves to be its knights. Deprived for that of rest, and calm, and sleep, And separated by that long-term trip.
No power in the world could stop these madmen, They have agreed to pay with any cost To keep the magic thread of love that joins them Uncut, though if their lives would be lost. Insane of love, as fact they do believe If never loved, you never breathed, you never lived.
And it will be a lot of wanderings and travels The Land of Love is the great country of all And Love will test her knights stronger and stronger Will demand separating and distances Will deprive of rest and sleep…
But it will be failed to turn madmen back They are agree to pay already At any cost and would risk with life To not allow to tear and to keep Magic invisible thread Which have stretched between them.
Fresh wind exited the elite From feet forced down, from the dead revived Because if did not love So did not live and so did not breathe.
There’ll be a lot of travels and wanderings, The Land of Love is the greatest land. She will begin more strictly to ask for From her knights to put on trials them, She will demand separations and distances, She will bereave them of calm, and rest, and sleep.
But the madmen will not be turned back, Now they are ready to pay at any price, And they would risk by their life To not let tear, to save The magic invisible thread, Which has been stretched between them.
The fresh wind was making drunk the chosen people, Knocking them off their feet, raising from the dead, Because if you didn’t love So you didn’t live and didn’t breathe.
There will be lots of wanderings and travels. For lend of love is the exceeding land. Her knights are predetermined to disasters And most of them will shortly find their end She will require loneliness and distance Depriving men of quiescence and rest
However heroes hardly can be stopped And they are fully ready to adopt The imminence of giving up existence To keep and save and carefully hold The delicate and fairy threadlike cord By which they has been magically fastened.
So, there'll be a lot of travellings and wanderings, Because the Country of Love is the greatest one. And Lady-love will put her knights on severer trials, Will demand of them either partings or distances, Will deprive them of their peace, rest and dream. But madmen can't be returned back And they're already willing to pay any price, They are ready to risk their lives So that magic invisible thread Running all through them Be saved and never torn. The fresh wind was making the elits drunk, Knocking them down, And raising them from the dead, Cause if one never loved So he never lived and even breathed.
