One Night of Sin, Joe Cocker's twelfth studio album, came out on Capitol in June 1989, and it's that gritty, bluesy voice doing what it always did best: taking other people's songs and wringing them out. The centerpiece is "When the Night Comes", written by Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance, with Adams sitting in on guitar. It rolled over the end credits of the Tom Selleck crime drama An Innocent Man, reached No. 11 in the US, and turned out to be Cocker's last American Top 40 hit.
Elsewhere he takes Elvis Presley's 1958 chart-topper "One Night" and renames it for the album, and he wraps that ragged voice around Leonard Cohen's "I'm Your Man". The quiet heart of the record is "Another Mind Gone", his first co-write on an album track in 13 years, dedicated to his friend and former bandmate B. J. Wilson.
