Joe Cocker Is Dead at 70; Raspy-Voiced Rock Star With Distinctive Moves

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.

Which was wonderfully and memorably parodied by John Belushi on "Saturday Night Live" back when.

I remember first hearing of him in the MST3K version of Manos.

Joe Cocker was great.
