00:00 Could you tell me what you think the best song by a Sheffield singer or band ever is?

00:06 I think I'm a Gas Man of 43 years and so I would go for the most famous Gas Man in Sheffield

00:13 that's Joe Cocker and we'd have to say 'Up Where You Belong'. I listened to a lot of

00:20 stories from the Gas Men at work when I first started in MGAS and they told me all the stories

00:25 about Joe singing in pubs and them going along to support him and it's got from a pub in

00:31 Sheffield to where he was, a world-renowned singer and it's got to be 'Up Where You Belong'

00:36 I think because I did my courting in the 80s and me and my wife went to see that film,

00:42 Officer and a Gentleman and it's stuck with me ever since.
