While endorsing Cocker, Joel said, “I thought Joe was the most powerful rock and roll interpretive male singer I had heard since first hearing the iconic recordings of Ray Charles.”
McCartney expressed his support for Cocker last month. Gibbons soon followed calling Cocker “the very embodiment of rock and roll in terms of talent and spirit.”
