Today (May 20) would have been Joe Cocker's 71st birthday. He passed away on Dec. 22 2014 after a battle with lung cancer.

Cocker ranked number 97 on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 greatest singers. Fellow rocker Billy Joel endorsed him for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame during a concert at Madison Square Garden in Sept. of last year, when Joel informed the audience that Cocker was not doing well health wise. Perhaps Joe Cocker's most memorable performance was at Woodstock with his cover of the Beatles' 'With a Little Help from My Friends".
