WHen I look at these singers and the contributions they have made over the years, and then think of today's mass marketed created bands...... do you think Joe Cocker would have got anywhere on "X Factor" or "Britain's Got Talent"?

Joe Cocker was a singer whose unique voice and the feeling that he put into his songs is a loss

We have a Joe Cocker thread here.
Terrible shame. We seem to have lost a lot of the greats this year.

Very sad loss. Here he is singing a great version of Eric Burdons hit which is one of my favourites:

Sad to see him go at a relatively young age..

Where do you live? If you were on earth you should have heard about it roughly 1000 days ago, and if you are on proxima centauri, you won't hear about it for another 500 or so days. Are you on an interstellar craft?
