Love Lifts Us Up Where We Belong is my favorite of his, but I really don't know more than a small handful of his music.

Wonder Years brought me his music. Sad.

"What, would you do, if I sang out of tune..."

Boru, I'd never seen the Woodstock version of that song. Woodstock is on a short list of events that I would choose if I could go back just for one thing.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Been reading some online tributes about Joe Cocker. This, I think, sums it up:

'Joe Cocker spent his musical life taking other peoples' songs and singing the guts out of them. We should be glad he did.'

A voice like a bucket of gravel.
But so much passion it didn't matter
Rest in peace Mr Cocker, you made the world a better place.

Thank you Mr Cocker

No shame. He lived well and long enough.

Again, thank you Mr Cocker.
