The older I get, the more I appreciate how talented of a performer he was.

Shoot, I have always loved Joe Cocker's singing and performances. Love the blues.
Never got a chance to see him live.
Thank you for that!
Thank you for that!
good stuff
My fave is the Mad Dogs & Englishmen album which was as much about Leon Russell as it was Joe. I can never think about Joe Cocker without picturing John Belushi doing his spot-on imitation. That cracks me up, but at the same time I get a bit melancholy about the tragic loss of John at the young age of only 33. Cathy Smith, who injected him with a "speedball" mix of heroine & cocaine got 15 months in prison for her deed.
