Jockie also worked with artists such as Chrisye and Iwan Fals, ultimately writing two songs—"Kehidupan" ("Life") and "Kesaksian" ("Witness")—that were listed by Rolling Stone Indonesia as among the best Indonesian songs of all time.
[1] In 1973, he joined with Ahmad Albar, Donny Fattah and Ludwig Leeman to form God Bless; their first concert was in Taman Ismail Marzuki in May 1973.
[1] During this period he was heavily into drugs, once stealing and selling a ring belonging to songwriter Harry Roesli to fuel his habit.
[4] In 1977 Jockie joined with Chrisye and Eros Djarot to record the soundtrack to Badai Pasti Berlalu, directed by Teguh Karya.
[1] This was followed by four more albums over the next 15 years, Yang Terhilang Lepas (Free and Missing), Pernyataan (Statement), Penantian (Waiting), and Selamat Jalan Kekasih (Goodbye Dear).
[1] In 2003 he left God Bless again after creative differences; in an October 2011 Facebook post, he wrote that he had been forced to leave the group and that he was outraged that the band continued to play his songs without his permission.
[2] Guitarist Ian Antono confirmed that a pistol was involved, but he thought it could be a toy; he stated that the argument flared up when Jockie insulted Albar's family.
[15] After Jockie was hospitalised at Pondok Indah Hospital in South Jakarta for complications resulting from diabetes, cirrhosis, and a stroke, on 24 January 2018 a group of musicians (including Nicky Astria, Berlian Hutauruk, and Fariz RM) held a tribute/charity concert at Taman Ismail Marzuki.
This concert, titled "Pagelaran Sang Bahaduri" (Hero's Performance), was reported to have raised Rp 514.04 million (US$38,600) to help pay for Jockie's treatment.
