'Joe Cocker, Wild, Raspy-Voiced Mentor of Rock 'n' Roll, Dies at 70

A most resounding voice in all of rock 'n' roll, Joe Cocker, the mad man, has died. He was 70. The English rocker found a unique formula for covering some of the greatest rock songs in history. His covers of songs like The Beatles's "With a Little Help from My Friends" have made their way into the most-favorited songs and performances of all time. A rich musical legacy, Cocker was a victim of lung cancer. Perhaps it is his performance at Woodstock — which my father has been able to describe to me with the most intricate detail — that defined the crazed singer's style, but he has also been a major figure in pop culture.
