  • That is really sad news :( it seems so sudden.

    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

    He was only 70?

    Always loved Delta Lady (and the many parodies of You Are So Beautiful).

    Easy to forget that's a Dave Mason song originally recorded with Traffic. It was eventually covered by everybody from Grand Funk to the Jackson Five but Joe's version, with that Leon Russell piano, is the best.

    RIP Joe.
    We have lost some very fine musicians this year. :(

    You young whippersnappers need to check out Mad Dogs and Englishmen. One of the great albums of the post-Woodstock era. Joe was a huge and unique talent. I'm gonna listen to a little Joe later on. RIP.

    Sorry- I created a post in "Other Music" not noticing this one.

    What a great vocalist. Very sorry to hear of his passing. :-(

    Great loss. The legends are dropping like flies, it is sad :(
  • When I was young and naive I heard the Beatles' version of With a Little Help From My Friends, and couldn't figure out why they would butcher the Wonder Years theme song.

    RIP

    This is what what and roll was intended to sound like. Joe nailed it.
