This probably isn't a good place to admit that my first experience with him was "Up Where We Belong" in An Officer and a Gentleman. Only later did I hear his other stuff.

Frankly, I was shocked to hear that he was still alive and was only 70 when he died.
I first heard of him when I was in Junior High back in the mid 70's and at the time I thought the guy was 50 or so based on the way he looked and sounded on stage. The "paraplegic" style (for lack of a better word) he adopted when performing didn't help much to dispell my mistaken belief that he was not a young man. Imagine me surprise to learn that not only was he still alive, but that he was only 18 years older than me.

Joe you will be missed. I remember one day after a rough day at work driving home and listening to a classic rock station and Feeling Alright came on. Instant pick up. Thanks Joe. Also have always cherished your performance at Woodstock.

A few more Cocker songs I fancy a lot (spoilered for the sake of the thread's loading speed):

Sad to see a one of a kind legend pass away. Has 2014 been an unusually awful year for musician deaths? I found this site today, and the list just goes on and on. Scary thing is a lot of them died fairly young.
