RIP Joe Cocker

[Slegnaac]

One of the most unique voices in Rock and Roll. He was able to take covers and really make them his own.

[TobiasFunke]

So unique you screwed up his name😛

RIP

My favorite version of this song

[Slegnaac]

So unique you screwed up his name😛

Oh frack

[Slegnaac]

The Sound had a nice little set earlier including You can leave your hat on.

[Blarg]

He was one of those guys that his voice matched his craggily face perfectly. His on stage performances often looked like he was truly struggling to stay alive for the next stanza. His rendition of You Are So Beautiful and You can Keep Your Hat On are the best of any performer. It was truly beauty and the beast when he recorded Up Where We Belong with Jenifer Warnes the ultimate chick song from Officer and a Gentleman.

 

[Amazing Larry]

Never liked him.

[IEAngelsfan]

Never liked him.

Totally agree, yet RIP.

[Redondo]

RIP Joe.  One of his bands was called the Mad Dogs and Englishmen

[TobiasFunke]

His voice was so beautiful for such a drugged up unkept dude

[Vegas Halo Fan]

Sad to hear this news.

i was in high school when "you are so beautiful" came out. liked it so much i wrote down the words and kept the paper under my bitchin' clock-radio on my desk at home. went to the beach one day while my mom decided to clean the house. came home and she's nearly in tears when she sees me. i asked her what was wrong and she said "this poem you wrote is beautiful. i really like it." i had to explain to her who joe cocker was and that there would be no royalty checks for me.
