10. Mad Dogs and Englishmen...

...was always one of my favorites.

A great, soulful singer that just happened to be of the Woodstock Generation.

[Sweeney]

25. I think he was like a plumber or something in real life

Must have spent a lot of time in the lew. I am going to have to do more singing in the shower. Ever heard that St. James Infirmary. That song must have had a round trip ticket. Started as an Irish Ballad, went to New Orleans, and then back to the British Isles.

13. For anyone interested

Today a group of Joe's friends got together and did a 3 hour long tribute. The show and tributes can be found at:
www.kvnf.org

[lunasun]

18. Oh why thank you for this info & I will listen tonight if I can

www.kvnf.org
I looked it up already and looks like a good way to remember him tonight but they are overloaded
at present
Said:
Long-time friends & associates of rock icon (& Crawford, Colorado, resident) Joe Cocker spent this afternoon on the air, (in KVNF's Cocker Studio,) sharing their stories & tributes. Our live internet stream, unfortunately, has been overloaded, to say the least. As quickly as we can, we'll be posting the recording of the 3-hour tribute program right here.

He lived in Colorado for nearly two decades where he started the Cocker Kids' Foundation with his wife Pam.

Cocker was also a major supporter of KVNF.

Station DJs and friends of Cocker are hosting a live tribute show for the late singer until 3 p.m. People can stream the show at kvnf.org. And it will be available on the station website after it airs.

It also said he died at home

14. That was maybe the most passionate performances of all time.

RIP Joe

17. An amazing voice

[randr]

19. For many of us hearing Joe was like going to church

[Sweeney]

26. Funny

That's the way I used to sing in church. I'll bet going to church for a lot of those people was an hour in hell.

[TorchTheWitch]

20. Oh damn! I've always loved him

Such sad news.

[countryjake]

21. One sad kick.

[napkinz]

27. Joe

[WorseBeforeBetter]

28. I've been watching YouTube clips since this afternoon...

while doing stuff around the house and have noticed -- beyond the obvious voice and moves -- the impeccable timing and intense eye contact. He could *really* work it. Seemed like a really nice guy, too. Former gas fitter before hitting the big time?! RIP, Mr. Cocker, and condolences to your family and friends.

4:00...

Was he ill or was it sudden?
