One of the most distinctive voices of rock 'n' roll is silent now, as Joe Cocker died today at age 70. Starting in the 60's, the UK singer rose in prominence, from the pubs to the arenas, recording over 20 studio albums, earning many awards and becoming an icon of rock and blues, while adding completely new interpretations to covers, like, most notably, "Feelin' Alright", "The Letter" and of course "I Get By With a Little Help From My Friends".
