Joe Cocker, the gravelly British singer who became one of pop's most recognizable interpreters in the late 1960s and '70s with passionate, idiosyncratic takes on songs like the Beatles' "With a Little Help From My Friends," died on Monday at his home in Crawford, Colo. He was 70.
The cause was lung cancer, his agent, Barrie Marshall, said...
A great talent

You will be missed Joe.
He had a one-of-a-kind magnificent voice.

Which was wonderfully and memorably parodied by John Belushi on "Saturday Night Live" back when.
R.I.P. Joe and John.
I remember first hearing of him in the MST3K version of Manos.
Joe Cocker was great.
