It's a sad day for the Woodstock generation. He was one of the greats. This performance at Woodstock will live on in infamy.

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.

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.

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.
