Grammy and Academy Award winning soul rocker and song writer Joe Cocker has passed away at age 70. He had been fighting lung cancer. Great performer from my younger days. Gotta admit, this one hurts.

The man lived hard, played hard and sang hard. Think i'll pull out the old Woodstock tape and watch him again and drink some Boone's Farm.

Up where he belongs. RIP.

Lucky enough to see him about 15 yrs ago in Indianapolis. Great show. Leave you hat on is the sexiest song ever! RIP Joe!

Dang sad to hear this. good time to revisit "Mad Dogs and Englishmen" and old SNL reruns of Belushi and his Hilariously funny And accurate Joe Cocker imperonation

MK: Who are your favorite contemporary singers?
BD: Oh, let me see, Joe Cocker, I suppose. Graham Nash can sing. Van Morrison’s fantastic.
And so is Stevie Wonder, but of all of them, Joe’s the greatest.

Listened to your broadcasts in the 70s while working as a grad assistant and "lowly" instructor. I'm *shock* even older.
