Me old Cocker

Sad to hear of Joe Cocker's death at the age of 70, once again confirming the research that musicians tend to die younger than the general population.  When living in Romania up in the Carpathians, I covered an international music festival held in Brasov.  Other acts included Ozone (Dragostea Din Tei) and Natalie Imbruglia, but the headliner was Joe Cocker and on a brutally cold night, his singing of You Can Leave Your Hat On proved to be very sound advice!  My article was on the website of the Brasov Visitor but this has now been discontinued as a site overall, otherwise I would have reproduced it here.  I have the hard copies of the magazine but everything is electronic these days.
