Singer Joe Cocker dies at 70

Post by minir »

He was one hell of a performer with his twisting, rocking and turning style. He sang from the gut and it showed.

Me too Humboldt. Never before nor since have i seen anyone present songs like he did. You just couldn't take your eyes off him. The voice & delivery were unique and doubtful will be seen again.

He did some excellent stuff drunk or sober. :thumb:

R.I.P.

Here is his performance at Woodstock:
