English rock and blues singer John Robert 'Joe' Cocker has died aged 70. Cocker came to popularity in the 1960s, and was known for his gritty voice, his spasmodic body movement in performance and his cover versions of popular songs, particularly those of the Beatles.
Joe Cocker's cover of the Beatles' 'With a Little Help from My Friends' reached number one in the UK in 1968, and he performed the song live at Woodstock in 1969. The Sheffield-born singer had a career lasting more than 40 years, with hits including You Are So Beautiful and Up Where We Belong.
