Joe Cocker, R.I.P.

Friday, January 2, 2015

Over the holy day season, there were a number of notable passings.  One that caught my attention was the passing of Joe Cocker:

While I cannot claim to have been a big Joe Cocker fan, there was one memorable performance that stayed etched in my mind.  The performance was Joe Cocker's duet with the histrionic Patti Labelle during the Motown Returns to the Apollo concert in 1985.   The duet was introduced by a comedian of recent infamy and was accompanied by one of my favorite piano playing artists.  I invite you to watch and listen ... and to smile.
