The man made the song his own.

RIP Joe Cocker.

It's a great loss. Whenever I hear Joe  Cocker singing With a Little Help From My Friend, I can't not think about this "tribute" version.

I always thought of this video whenever his name was mentioned.

What a great performer in a live setting.

Ha! That's another great one. Of course, you didn't have to understand Joe to know what he was singing about.

Well, damn. RIP.

Time for St. James Infirmary, off his Live in LA record.

RIP.  Was at a club about a week back and the band playing did a perfect imitation of him on one song.  After that I looked up what he had done in more recent and times and then a day or two later was shocked by the news.

Such a loss.  :(   He was such a fine interpreter of music.

 RIP, Joe.

Joe's estate has been for sale for a year or so. Here's the ad for any of you who have very deep pockets. Be sure to check the map to see how rural.
