warpedbored Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 It's a sad day for the Woodstock generation. He was one of the greats. This performance at Woodstock will live on in infamy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRzKUVjHkGk Link to comment
Mick Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Such sad news. Joe Cocker was one of a kind, with a voice like no other. And his bizarre stage movements initially made folks think he was spastic. I saw the movie Mad Dogs and Englishmen several times when it was out back in the early 70s. It was a documentary of a tour he did with a great band, which included Leon Russell. So very sorry to hear of his passing. Link to comment

Doug Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 My brother told me. I recall the Beatles just loved hearing him sing some of their songs. No one sang you can leave your hat on like him, as well as the others so famous. He was up there with Janis Joplin in a way, in my book. I guess he is for sure now. 1 Link to comment
Oldfriend Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 It deeply saddened me to hear of his passing. He was indeed an influence of the times. Seems like, lately, all the moments and movements that I lived through are passing away or looked at like ancient history. Tried to talk to a 30ish coworker the other day that it was just in '64 that blacks in Ole Miss.got the right to vote. Well, you know what I mean. 64 fer christ's sake. It's like plowing sand anymore. 1 Link to comment
