Joe Cocker Dead: 'You Are So Beautiful' Singer Passes Away At 70

We've lost so many great celebrities this year, and now, we've lost yet another.

I wan to remember him by song, so this is what I'm going to post:

Apologies if this has already been posted.

 

[Amaris]

Rest in peace, Joe.

 

[Enterprise is Great]

RIP...what a voice.

 

[Starbreaker]

I saw Joe in concert about 10 years ago. He put on a hell of show.

 

[Gil T.Azell]

Just read this, R.I.P. Joe.

"You Can Leave Your Hat On," is a great song of his, made even more memorable by 9 1/2 Weeks.

Rest in peace, Joe.

Ditto. Phenomenal voice and presence. I could believe how much *better* he sounded in person!

RIP.

Very sad indeed

RIP Joe!

Hard to believe this dude isn't in the Rock and roll Hall of Fame and ABBA is.

 

[Keith1701]

Rest in peace, Joe.

R.I.P. you will be missed.

Hard to believe this dude isn't in the Rock and roll Hall of Fame and ABBA is.

Why wasn't he inducted with the 1960's class? He should have been an automatic inductee.

I'm not going to blast ABBA being in there, though, (but I will blast KISS being there and Linda Ronstadt being there.)

ABBA is pleasant music but it isn't, by any definition, rock and roll.

KISS is generally crappy dumb music but at least it fits the definition of rock and roll.

Linda Ronstadt would be more country to my way of thinking but at least country and rock have a certain overlap that doesn't exist when considering ABBA's pop disco music.
