Thread: Joe's Dead.

My favorite human beings of all time the Great humanitarian and magnificent blues singer is dead.

Seen Joe many time, first time was 76 in Townsville Australia.

My mate and I actually drove from Perth To Adelaide in 82 to see him, blew spliffs all the way cranking up his vibes.

Sad fukin day it is.

3 days before Christmas as well.

Love Ya Joe, you were the man.

Merry Christmas Joe. 70 years young.

Rip

We share the same feelings about the man Terry and he was my favourite male vocalist without any doubt.

His days with Mad Dogs and Englishmen were fantastic and I will remember and appreciate his talent for the rest of my life.

I used to love his hand movements during his tunes ,, quite unique

I believe he was one of Sheffields finest

Only saw him once, around 2001 at the New Orleans Arena, opening the show for Tina Turner during her 'farewell' tour. Turner put on a good show, or at least quite spectacular. However, Joe's opening set would have been hard to better by any other performer. He was absolutely outstanding, and Tina was an anti climax because of it.

One of the greats, RIP
Mad Dogs and Englishmen is one of my favorite albums. Great stuff.

R I p Joe.

Joe Cocker.

Now officially a whiter shade of pale.

Good on ya, Joe - ya gave us some great songs, which still live on.........

Joe Joe thought he was a women.
Lyrics.

Great guy, an inspiration.

Had a long term struggle with drug and alcohol then finally a long struggle with small cell lung cancer.

RIP.

He had soul, I'll give him that. RIP.

Ive followed his story for 30 odd years.

He pulled himself together after meeting his wife, he really done many positive things after that.

On his Mad Dog Ranch in Crawford Colorado he settled into a small community and would retreat there after his tours.

In that small community he done much to help the Children and underprivileged.

Would play concerts for the locals with all money returning to the community.

Helped out so many people.

A great humble man was Joe, see his interviews and he was a very unassuming person and quiet by nature. Polite to all.

A real regular Joe, from Gas fitter to world class act.

Worth 60 million when he died.

On You Tube there is a live concert from Joe when he performed in Europe 2013.

Real good it is, never heard him sing some of those songs.

His voice in good shape considering he was 69, backed by a cracking band.

Check it out.

I had the pleasure of seeing him live twice, at an open air festival here.

Magic, pure magic, he held the 30,000 people in his hand.

He shall live on in our hearts and memories.

I think it's the Dusseldorf concert that you are talking about.

Where's your horn, Dr Terence?...Heh...
