00:00I probably need my glasses to read this.

00:05This is okay, I can do this.

00:07I wrote this in 2014

00:10when I heard that Joe Cocker

00:13hadn't been inducted

00:15into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

00:17I was shocked.

00:19I mean, they even inducted me

00:21before they inducted Joe Cocker.

00:24So I was stunned to learn that.

00:26So I wrote a letter

00:27to the members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame committee

00:29as a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

00:32since 1999.

00:34It has been one of my finest hopes

00:35to see Joe Cocker inducted into it as well.

00:39When I first heard him in 1969,

00:41I was very inspired by the sound

00:42of his incredibly raw and soulful vocal style.

00:46That became a watershed year in my life.

00:48That year, I attended the Woodstock Festival,

00:51bought the first Led Zeppelin album,

00:53and heard Joe Cocker sing

00:55with little help from my friends.

00:57I thought Joe was the most powerful

00:59rock and roll interpretive male singer

01:01I had heard since first hearing

01:04the iconic early recordings of Ray Charles.

01:07In my opinion,

01:08no one has since come even close to him

01:11as one of the great primal rock and roll vocalists

01:13of all time.

01:15I feel very strongly

01:16that Joe Cocker should be considered

01:17for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

01:20I hope you will consider putting his name

01:22on the voting ballot this year.

01:24Sincerely, Billy Joel.

01:33I never heard back.

01:37I never heard anything.

01:38You never heard back?

01:39Never heard back.

01:40No.

01:41Shows you how much impact I have.

01:42He isn't in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

01:58Why could that be?

02:00That's a surprise.

02:08Someone doesn't like him there

02:10on the board or whatever.

02:13It's very strange, yeah.

02:15Like me.

02:17But of course,

02:21he should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

02:24It's shameful that he's not in it.

02:27In a way, you know.

02:28What the hell is that?

02:29He was an interpreter,

02:30like Sinatra was an interpreter.

02:32Like all the great,

02:34really great singers,

02:35were interpreters.

02:37They did it their way.

02:40So,

02:42hats off to Joe.

02:43and

02:56and
