HogNose Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 RIP Mr. ****er http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-30582761 Singer Joe ****er, best known for his cover of the Beatles' With A Little Help From My Friends, has died aged 70. The singer song-writer from Sheffield had a career lasting more than 40 years with hits including You Are So Beautiful and Up Where We Belong. His agent Barrie Marshall confirmed that he had died of an undisclosed illness. He said he was "simply unique" and "it will be impossible to fill the space he leaves in our hearts." Known for his gritty voice, ****er began his singing career in the pubs and clubs of Sheffield in the 1960s before hitting the big time. He was propelled to pop stardom when his version of The Beatles' With A Little Help from My Friends reached number one. His duet with Jennifer Warnes, Up Where We Belong - from An Officer And A Gentleman - hit number one and went on to win both a Grammy and an Academy Award. He was honoured with an OBE in 2007.

CRobi21 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 ^^^ Remember seeing the Woodstock film for the first time, and this stole the show for me. Even more so than Jimi. Legend. Mad Dogs & Englishmen is classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney B Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Wow. He was great, and it's sad he's gone, but if you ever imagined in your wildest dreams that Joe Coccker (take that, profanity filter) would live to be 70, then you don't really remember Joe Coccker. It's like a miracle. RIP, Joe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
