Farewell Joe Cocker
Musician
1944-2014
Joe Cocker's voice was perfectly suited to sing the blues. He became well known in the late 1960 and early 1970s. Personal and professional problems rivaling those described in blues songs plagued him over the years, and at times it seemed that his career was finished. In recent years, however, Cocker returned to music, expanded his range, and established a presence as a romantic balladeer.
Cocker began his musical career playing harmonica with The Cavaliers. The band reorganized in the early 1960s as Vance Arnold and the Avengers with Cocker singing lead. Between 1966-1970 Cocker was the leader of The Grease Band. Cocker became as solo artist in 1972.
