Joe has never been recognized for his great music. RIP. ❤

Man those days will never exist again. I was so lucky to have lived and witnessed them

You have been released Brother Joe. Never has a person fulfilled his mission on earth as you have. You've brought joy to millions, you've touched the hearts of the masses. We owe you a debt of gratitude that we will never possibly be able to repay. Just hope you know how much you were loved and will always be loved. Go in Peace.

Back in my dark stage stumbling through drugs booze and continous depression I was in a pub high and getting higher when I heard Joe Cocker. His voice and his rendition of cry me a river that day changed so much for me in 3 mths I was on the path to a new life 46 years later I still love every song Joe sang. Thanks brother for being my inspiration if there is a god I hope he or she looks after you bless you my main man Mr Joe Cocker.

Like he's singing your own heart out when you feel depressed

joe cocker is the only man in the world who is able to cover bob dylan, bob marley and fucking beatles and still make it sound original and unique

When asked who was the greatest singer of his generation, Bob Dylan replied: “The greatest singer of my generation? Oh, Joe Cocker, I suppose! Here meets the greatest songwriter and the greatest singer of our generation.

I'm older now but came back after my mother passed away. Thanks mum for your guidance. Love

No one can sing it like that. RIP Joe. Miss you.

Pure heart and soul. Joe Cocker was a force of nature. RIP.

Oh my god ... that brings me to my knees. No words for how much I enjoy this voice.

The music of today doesn't compare with the music of the 60s,70s,and 80s. Thanks Joe Cocker for the amazing songs. R.I.P. in Rock n Roll Heaven.

So true although the 90s had some killer tunes too, I grew up on music from the 60s and started hating what it became in the early 2000s, even worked as a stage tech in the early 2000s up to just before the pandemic and seen it first hand go down hill but still seen some kick ass bands play even groups I grew up hearing made for an amazing experience in life far more than what the public schools have ever done for me.

Joe Cocker had a gift, he could take any song and make it sound like an original..greatly missed

No religion,political bs, what brings all really together is simply music as its really real, the way I feel!

Was there ever a better interpreter of songs of genius than this genius? Dylan meets Cocker is a match made in heaven

I have always loved Joe Cocker. The way he performed on stage to his emotional and powerful voice. It brings chills down my spine everytime. But this song is my favorite from Joe...totally amazing!!

My brother and I had one thing in common "JOE COCKER". We saw him in concert in Sydney multiple times over the years and met him on some of those occasions. When my brother died last year I was devastated to say the least. We laid his ashes to this song. When Joe died in December it was like a double whammy for me. Rest in peace both of you xx

This song affected me on a very deep level of consciousness when I first heard this version in 1969. Joe sang it with so much soul. It seems obvious that he had a deep connection with these lyrics. R.I.P. Joe, you earned your wings.

RIP I hope your final days and hours were full of love and that your heart was free of pain. May god welcome you home to make beautiful music with all that came before you. Thanx for all the love you left us with.

RIP Mr Joe Cocker! You were released into Heaven!

Another beautiful soul leaves us. Getting older isn't so bad knowing I shared the same time with him. His "Bird on a Wire" has been my mantra.

RIP Joe - one of the great rock voices

RIP Lord Cocker. Today is the day. Love you brother.

No wonder Joe was the star of Woodstock. This makes every other version indifferent. Treasure this my friends cos you'll never hear better. RIP my friend & thank you.

No wonder he blew Woodstock away! Best blues/rock singer ever & he came from Sheffield where I've had many a great night out. RIP Joe you'll never be forgotten.

Thanks Joe for all the memories for all these past years. You have been released so fly high friend ! R.I.P.

The first time I saw Joe Cocker I thought he had something like epilepsy or of the like where your movement's are uncontrollable. I am sorry to say this but that's what I thought, I was also about 10 years old. 1971. But his voice is unmistakable and fantastic, You cannot mistake those grainy vocals. I have listened to everything he has done and never have been displeased. How could you be?

RIP man...thanks for the great music...

I remember driving around Berkeley and Oakland in a borrowed Chevy panel van with an 8 track of Woodstock back in the day.

Il ruggito impetuoso del amatissimo joe cocher che entusiasmo' la nostra generazione degli anni 60 e 70 ruggisce ancora dentro di noi ragazzi di un tempo che credevamo negli ippi figli dei fiori quando la musica era contestazione giovanile rivoluzione musicale e trasgressione ricordando il mitico raduno storico di woodstoc quanti ricordi sbiaditi di quel mitico 68 ❤😂😢😅😊❤

Oh Joe you were so good.

A true star has passed on. R.I.P. Joe Cocker you brought a lot of pleasure to a lot of people.

RIP, You gave us good music with such emotion as only you could have given, your music will live on!

Some raw voiced angel will watch over you Joe. I'm sure of it. RIP

Amazing song. Amazing voice.

Loved his music. RIP Joe. You will be missed.

I was fortunate to see him preform before he passed..... and he was like a fine wine.....with age he got even better. I grew up with him, the mad dogs and the Englishmen..... A passionate soul will be sorely missed

Bye bye Joe...you will live on in our hearts....thank you so very much for the wonderful music...you gave your all every time

your words made me cry for the first time in almost 50 years man, love peace out, god be with ya kid. wait the children nowadays learn how to make music agin and to put theire hearts and souls on it

One best joe cocker song I enjoy listening to watch old tv show Magnum Pi with Tom Selleck episode. At about 2020 I had so many heart attacks I thought this song even keep play it. As told sister play song at my funeral if go just say goodbye to world and my love ones.

I was 13 years old back n the 1960's, ❤ All we had was, TV and the radio 📻 Never heard this song, til, I was watching reruns of Without A Trace,❤ Aaron Neville version, ❤ Couldn't get this song out if my head,❤ I've always loved Joe Crocker songs, a voice of Angels,❤

Brought to tears several times what a journey we lived long for those days when the world was simpler and love was the driving force great mix joe singing little help f m f is the greatest .

It's really amazing the clarity we had through all the haze and confusion back then. Maybe because we had peace and love in our hearts. Somehow we found grace. Too bad it never caught on. The man always has his way it seems of putting an end to anything that might actually be good for people, like not killing each other for starters. Things are far worse now than I could have ever imagined back then. Of course even back then I thought mankind was incapable of living in peace and harmony with each other and the earth.
