IMHO, Great distinctive sound, and "cover" artist. I feel the duets that are sorely missed/ never happened, would be Joe and Janis Joplin, perhaps the king and queen of raspy vocals ?  What music they could have made... Computer re-mastered ?  Sing-on Joe and Janis...

I put "Mad Dogs and Englishmen" on my old turntable and cranked the volume up real loud.

Sure would have loved to see him perform live.  What a voice!  

I wonder what kind of car he drove.
1971 MGB GT V8
Buick 215 w/ Rover heads, custom EFI & crank-fired ignition.
Custom front and rear coilover suspensions.

Robin Weatherall (MG Centre of St Louis) toured with Cocker in the late 60's.

Whenever I wear my Mad Dogs and Englishmen T shirt from the car show, non lbc crowd still enjoys it .

I was lucky enough to see Joe Cocker live (on the same bill with Fleetwood Mac) at the Boston Tea Party in November, 1969.  It was a relatively small venue and Cocker's voice filled the room.  He was quite the showman.
