One of a kind. He will be missed, but his music will live on. RIP, Joe.

His cover of the Beatles' "I Get By with a Little Help from My Friends" was just about the only Beatle cover that was better than the original.

I agree, pure emotion.

Prefacing this with I think I was born old, I remember the first time I saw Joe Cocker on TV. He was singing and I sat there watching him with a look of concern on my face. When my eldest sister asked me why I was so serious I said, I feel bad for him - I think he's had a stroke.

I learned that it was just his physical style when he sang {#emotions_dlg.blushing}. I remember that when he sang, he surely put his heart and soul into it.

RIP Joe

Never cared for his singing, but I know he was a cultural icon. I'm sad he is gone so soon.

i didn't know about him before The Wonder Years. but i liked his voice.

One of my favs too! He had such a unique voice, I really liked his music. May he rest in peace and sing with the angels.
