"Will we say the same thing in 50 year time about the last X factor winner , great songs and artist always stand the test of time "
No Cocker was an interpreter if songs, . X factor acts are just glorified Karaoke. |

"I can't name a single song of his, or point him out in a crowd of 2. However, commiserations to his family, etc  "
Really? you've never heard any of these fabulous versions of well known songs?

"We have Fab friends who live local to us, and Mr is a Joe Cocker tribute artist.
Wonder if he'll pack it in now?  Sad if he does..  "
Not for me - I loathe what are now called tribute acts.
It's a fine line between that and doing covers as an homage, the main difference being that one is not attempting to imitate, but rather to emulate |

It's good to learn something new everyday.
Try YouTube, then decide. . |

Spent an hour or so watching the Woodstock live concert and other clips on YouTube last night.
Amazing.
In Xfactor speak
' he really owned those songs and made them his own '
Sorry for Xfactor reference. |

"Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world we know,
up where the clear winds blow"
Well I hope his God lifted him up where he belongs. One less star over Sheffield.
Very few singers win a Grammy, an Oscar (for his duet with Jennifer Warnes for 'Up Where We Belong'), record 40 albums and are awarded an OBE for services to music. He was and did.
Mr John Cocker OBE. Rest in Peace. |
