Song of the Day-Feelin' Alright'

I blogged about Traffic a week or so ago, playing something from their "middle period" when their tunes got jazzier, jammier and just plain longer (Low Spark anyone?). "Feeling Alright" is from the 1968 "Traffic" album.  Dave Mason is still in the band and his tunes are standouts right from the get go. This early Mason tune becomes probably the biggest song he ever wrote.  "Feelin' Alright" is a home run and quickly becomes a standard, and a hit for other artists, none bigger than Joe Cocker, whose version many believe is definitive. It's highest chart position, oddly enough, is only #33 on Billboard by Cocker in 1972. Here is a Chadwicks Listening Room Battle of the Bands. Who did it better?
