Joe Cocker dies

[jestaudio]

A great loss to anyone who enjoys good music, I got to appreciate him after spending 5 years as a guitarist in a Cocker tribute act, truly a talented individual who lost the fight against the big C. RIP Joe

Been a fan a long time, and still listen often.

Wow. Didn't think that would ever happen.

Oh no - bummer. I heard it here first. Had "You are so Beautiful" running through my head yesterday for no apparent reason.

Got to see him live, opening up for SRV, about a month before SRV died. He sang with a lot of heart and passion. RIP Joe.

A lot of us will remember him for this:

Still sends shivers up my spine.

Us old rockers are losing our heroes, left, right and center. Jack Bruce, Jimmy Ruffin, Bobby Keys, and on and on. And now Joe.

Rock on, Joe. R.I.P.

Or this Boxtops tune: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4RnjWLVyMps Oh man!

[briane]

still remeber when he came to my school and gave us 7th graders one killer lunchtime concert!

was all thanks to deardorf inviting cocker over to his house for lunch, and.....hey we should show those kids a little somethin'

[Bob S]

Awful news.
What a character. Music lost something today.
Sad.

Always enjoyed Joe's music and showmanship.

Was lucky enough to see Joe with Tina Turner, what a great evening that was and my kids really enjoyed the show as well, they took me to the concert, they're treat.

Sad news.

Just saw it on CNN, too bad, this is getting close...he was a year older than me.

Brought tears to my eyes listening to this again.
Peace Joe and thank you.

[Structo]

RIP Joe.

My first exposure to Joe Cocker was on the 1969 Woodstock live album.

Man.....I didn't know.....and then I see Bobby Keys (and Jim Price) in the Box Tops video as well.
I'm sorry....but Pop Music that I heard in the 1960's and 1970's is just way better than what kids hear today.
Pop Music of the 1930's-1940's-1950's was also way better than what kids hear today.
Anyway.......Joe Cocker.....one of many that we will start to loose as they are all turning 70 and older. Mick and Keith will be 80 in the near future.
