I believe there's no need telling who he was, we all have enjoyed his "Father's Son" at least once or twice in our lives.

Well, what can i say.. the guy is no longer with us. He may have not been a particularly prominent figure in the past 10 years (not that i heard of any recent contributions), and i can't say i'm personally a big fan of his, but i believe he has written and sung a great deal of songs definitely worth the ears of a devoted listener, who has held him in high esteem and honored him earnestly throughout his entire life. So, let us perhaps, on behalf of all those people rise in memory of yet another great person the world has now set free.

Joe Cocker died of lung cancer on 22 December, 2014 at the age of 70.

Oh, well… I hadn't heard about this before

To me, he was always the one guy who showed there is a middle ground as a musician between also being a great composer and being some brainless teenager from a casting. He will be remembered as one of the greatest performers of music history!
