Very good singer with a voice that I really liked. Gave some terrific performances.

Thanks for sharing this on the day of his death.

Yeah, he was pretty good, he was definitely original for singing qualities.

My dads' cousin owned the pub in Yorkshire he started singing at. Free beer the nights he sang was the deal.

He did the Wonder Years tv series theme song. That show was good, I thought.

One of the most soulful white rock singers ever.

I dont see what his colour has to do with it...

Great vocalist who was clearly passionate about music. You dont have to be a fan to see that. Very few ppl have that passion these days. One of the reason modern music is so stale.

RIP Joe Cocker
