Although not one of my favorites, Joe Cocker had a varied carreer. I agree he will be missed.

That is a shame. My band used to do a kick-*** cover of his version of The Letter. It was always one of my favorite tunes that we did. RIP Mr. Cocker.

I can't count the times I have sang along with "You Are So Beautiful" to my wife. Nobody sounded like Joe Cocker.

RIP Joe Cocker

Mad Dogs and Englishmen. His version of A Little Help from my friends at Woodstock was unforgettable.

There was a song Joe Cocker did in more recent years titled "You Can Leave Your Hat On", or something like that, which I thought was the best!

Always cranked it up when ANY Joe Cocker song came on.
RIP, Joe.

He did a good version of that, as he did for a lot of songs written by others. (That was written by Randy Newman)

Rest in peace joe, the letter I thought was done by the box tops first? Agree he did some great music and will be missed covers or not, never appreciated him when I was younger, but like van the man play a lot of his stuff today.. little help from my friends is just plain brilliant

Rest easy
