Personal life
In 1963, Cocker began dating Eileen Webster, also a resident of Sheffield. The couple dated intermittently for the next 13 years, separating permanently in 1976. In 1978, Cocker moved onto a ranch owned by Jane Fonda in Santa Barbara, California, United States. Pam Baker, a local summer camp director and fan of Cocker's music, persuaded the actress to rent the house to Cocker. Baker began dating Cocker and they eventually married on 11 October 1987. The couple reside on the Mad Dog Ranch in Crawford, Colorado, United States.
Cocker is not related to fellow Sheffield-born musician Jarvis Cocker, despite this being a rumour (particularly in Australia, where Jarvis's father Mac Cocker, a radio DJ, allowed listeners to believe Jarvis was Joe Cocker's brother).

Top 10 Rockers Survivors (10 person items)"O show de Joe Cocker em Woodstock pode ser considerado um teste para descobrir quanta droga alguém pode consumir e ainda continuar de pé e cantando.
Seja qual for essa quantidade, o fato é que ele passou no teste.
Joe Cocker conseguiu a proeza de ser expulso da Austrália por causa do seu consumo de entorpecentes e, de quebra, abrir o debate sobre a legalização da maconha no país dos cangurus, tamanho o protesto de seus fãs pelo episódio.
