One Night of Sin
1989 studio album by Joe Cocker
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
One Night of Sin is the twelfth studio album by English singer Joe Cocker, released by Capitol Records in June 1989. It contains the hit single "When the Night Comes" (US No. 11), which was Cocker's last US Top 40 hit and played at the end credits of Tom Selleck's crime drama An Innocent Man of that same year. The song is also notable because it was written by Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance. In addition, Bryan Adams plays rhythm guitar on the song. Other notable songs on the album include a cover of "One Night" (here as "One Night of Sin"), a No. 1 hit by Elvis Presley from 1958, and "I'm Your Man" by Leonard Cohen. The album also features "Another Mind Gone", which was the first album track in 13 years co-written by Cocker— in the interim, he had also received songwriting credits for the songs "We Stand Alone" (from the 1986 soundtrack to the film Wildcats) and "Now That You're Gone" (from the soundtrack to the 1987 German film The Crack Connection). "Another Mind Gone" was dedicated to B. J. Wilson, Cocker's former bandmate and a friend.
