Another one off to that great gig in the sky. R.I.P Joe.
From a tribute to Joe Cocker by Paranjoy Guha Thakurta in today's Times of India: "In 1968, when his rendition of a Beatles song — 'With A Little Help From My Friends' — hit the top of the charts in the UK, Paul McCartney described his version as not merely 'mind-blowing' but fulsomely added that he was 'forever grateful' to him for having transformed the sing-along rock number into a 'soul anthem'.
Joe Cocker was an amazing talent and a unique voice in music. Mixing a rasping, almost straining soul sound with a blues rhythm and rock n' roll sensibilities, Joe Cocker set the bar for passionate performance. Able to take blues standards and pop hits and make them his own, Joe Cocker will be missed.
