Joe Cocker RIP

RIP Joe.

Another legend has gone.... 70 is not that old anymore....

 

Not when it comes to Rock N Roll.

R.I.P. I hope he's feelin' alright in the afterlife.

 

What a shock. I had no idea he was sick. I was born in 1980, so my first exposure to Joe was him singing With a Little Help from My Friends as the theme song to one of my childhood favorite tv shows "The Wonder Years". Once I got a bit older and really dug into his early stuff, I fell in love with his music. For me, he may be the best rock song interpreter of all time. Even if he wasn't a prolific writer, he chose great material and sang the hell out of it. That's not always easy to do well. I have no issue saying that his version of With a Little Help from My Friends dwarves the Beatles version.

R.I.P., Joe.

 

70 is too soon. RIP

 

Never saw him live or interviewed him, sadly. I did go to his restaurant once when he lived here in Colorado. The greats are just disappearing.

 

Ah, sad.

I saw Joe with the Grease Band in a club when they opened for the Buddy Rich orchestra and The Who in May 1969.
They were just getting rolling here. He (and they) were very good.

He was one of those guys that lived longer than I would have expected. RIP Joe.

 

RIP Joe!

Sad news...

Joe Cocker Mad Dogs and Englishmen Feelin Alrig…:

 

I did get the chance to see him live in Red Bank, NJ in the 80's, what a great show he put on...

 

So sad... Grew up to the sound of his records, and caught the man live three times..

I play his take on Cry me a River tonight..

 

That's no horse--it's a flaming crap-wagon.

Enough already, 2014.

 

R.i.p Joe.

 

So sad..... RIP....

 

One of the greatest song interpreters and performers of all time. I was at the Lowell, Massachusetts show where the Joe Cocker Live album was recorded. One of the best concerts I have ever attended.

 

Just when my day was starting on a high note....this.

Joe was one of my all-time favorite singers. RIP, sir.

 

Very sad. RIP Joe

 

One of the greats. His debut album is hugely underrated.

RIP.

 

Poor old Joe. What an absolutely fantastic singer he was. My God, they are dropping like flies.
RIP Joe and thanks for the kicks.

 

Huge loss if you ask me.

 

Choice voice. A tragedy out of the blue.

 

Saddens me.

Luckily got to hear him perform in Austin, Tx. at the first annual Barn Dance and BBQ in 1974.

I'll put on Woodstock tonight in tribute.

RIP Joe

 

I was lucky to have seen Joe with the Grease Band just after Woodstock, and then again with a Chris Stainton-led band in 1972. I shot this at The Spectrum in Philadelphia, during the latter. RIP, Joe...

 

I feel very fortunate that I got to see him live.

RIP.

 

Terrible news.

 

Very sad. Mad Dog and English men is a favorite movie and album. I listened to this album all the time back in the seventies.

RIP Mr Cocker

 

What a year...
