That was a shock when I saw his name in the local paper. I thought maybe he was coming to town to do a show, then I read the news.

I have to admit, it made me cry just a little, and I said a pray for him.

One of Joe's last concerts is on Y-tube in full, all 2 hours of it. I think it's the best one available on DVD as far as sound quality goes, and though he was looking quite up there in years, his voice still sounded great.

See it at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Lwg0ZlPTJA (I already have it downloaded from Youtube and burned to disc).

I was shocked to hear of his passing :cry: , and even more shocked my girlfriend didn't think she knew of his music :?

I was saddened, although not really surprised, when I read a post on another site where a fellow described Cocker as the guy who sang the Wonder Years theme...

Ironic thing is, that is what I told my girlfriend. I'm glad I saw him a few years ago at the Ottawa Bluesfest.
