R.I.P. Joe Cocker

Oh, man. Say it ain't so. Time marches on, but my world is a little smaller now. This guy was one of my all time favorites.

Too many of the 1960s Rock and Rollers have gone too soon. Sad to hear this.

I had a huge crush on this girl in high school and she liked me too! I was too shy and intimidated by her. I would listen to You Are So Beautiful to deal with it. Rest in peace Joe Cocker.

Mad Dogs and Englishmen is one of the best live albums around. Not a great recording and not the best performances, but by God the energy generated makes you wish you'd been there to see it.
RIP, Joe.

A song hasn't been done until Cocker has done it.

+1 Tony, amazing man, incredible life.
Beautiful song.

Last year JJ Cale, this year Joe Cocker. Please leave Leon Russell around got a few more years.

Rest well, Joe. I remember doing a bit of vinyl trading in junior high for Cocker's "With a Little Help...." what a gem of an album. Still have it. WIsh I had my turntable set up so I could give it a spin.

You should set it up. I'm honor of Joe. He's worth it. He was one of the few who could transcend and genre.

Saw him live around 1969, I believe on a bill with Led Zeppelin. As I remember there were a lot of technical difficulties at that one and Cocker was like watching someone have a stroke on stage. Not a memorable show for me.
