"One Night of Sin" is Joe Cocker's twelfth studio album, released in June 1989 by Capitol Records. The album is notable for its single "When the Night Comes," which became Cocker's last US Top 40 hit, reaching number 11. The track was prominently featured in the end credits of Tom Selleck's 1989 crime drama An Innocent Man. Bryan Adams, who co-wrote the song with Jim Vallance, also plays rhythm guitar on it.
The album includes a mix of covers and original material. It features a rendition of "One Night," originally a #1 hit by Elvis Presley from 1958, re-titled as "One Night of Sin" for this album. Additionally, Cocker covers Leonard Cohen's "I'm Your Man" and contributes "Another Mind Gone," his first songwriting credit in thirteen years. This song is dedicated to B. J. Wilson, Cocker's former bandmate and friend.
One Night of Sin continues Cocker's tradition of delivering soulful performances and exploring a variety of musical styles, maintaining his relevance in the late 1980s music scene.
