Singer Joe Cocker, 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.

RIP Joe.

And who comes here to wish me well?
A sweetly-scented angel fell,
She laid her head upon my disbelief,
And bathed me with her ever-smile.

Yes, Joe was a great singer. Some of the earliest memories of listening to rock was tracks like "Marjorine", "I Shall be Released", and of course "With a little help from my Friends..." at Woodstock.....

....what a performance that was

I never got around to seeing Joe in a live performance, one I regret.

The man who could steal Beatles' tunes and make them his own. Also think Mad Dogs and Englishmen is a great live album:
