John Robert "Joe" Cocker born 20 May 1944 and died of lung cancer today, on December 22nd. 2014.
He was an English rock and blues singer, who came to popularity in the 1960s, and was known for his gritty voice, his spasmodic body movement in performance and his cover versions of popular songs, particularly those of the Beatles. His cover of the Beatles' "With a Little Help from My Friends" reached number one in the UK in 1968, and he performed the song live at Woodstock in 1969. His version also became the theme song for the TV series The Wonder Years. His 1975 hit single, "You Are So Beautiful", reached number five in the US. Cocker is the recipient of several awards, including a 1983 Grammy Award for his US number one "Up Where We Belong", a duet with Jennifer Warnes. In 1993 he was nominated for the Brit Award for Best British Male, in 2007 was awarded a bronze Sheffield Legends plaque in his hometown, and in 2008 he received an OBE at Buckingham Palace for services to music.
Personal life
In 1963, Cocker began dating Eileen Webster, also a resident of Sheffield. The couple dated intermittently for the next 13 years, separating permanently in 1976. In 1978, Cocker moved onto a ranch owned by Jane Fonda in Santa Barbara, California. Pam Baker, a local summer camp director and fan of Cocker's music, persuaded the actress to let the house to Cocker. Baker began dating Cocker and they eventually married on 11 October 1987.[37] The couple resided on the Mad Dog Ranch in Crawford, Colorado.
Cocker was not related to fellow Sheffield-born musician Jarvis Cocker, despite a rumour to this effect (particularly in Australia, where Jarvis' father, radio DJ Mac Cocker, allowed listeners to believe he was Joe Cocker's brother)
Cocker died of lung cancer on the 22nd of December 2014 in Crawford California.[40][41] The two living Beatles, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, were among those who paid tribute to the singer, while his agent, Barrie Marshall, stated he was "without doubt the greatest rock/soul singer ever to come out of Britain.
