What A Band is Best Known For (aside from their music):

"Contorted facial expressions"

Anyone whose seen the films "Woodstock" and "Mad Dogs and Englishmen", or any of his concerts knows that Cocker puts a lot of physicality and emotion when singing, and that includes twisting his face during "With A Little Help From My Friends" and other hits.
