The world is a little bit sadder today for music lovers. Legendary British singer Joe Cocker has died at the age of 70 -- losing his battle with cancer.
I became a huge Joe Cocker fan when he took a throwaway Beatles tune (With A Little Help From My Friends) and turned it into a sensational show-stopper at Woodstock. And after that, he never disappointed me -- putting an incredible amount of passion into every song he sang. He was among the best, and he will be missed.
