We introduce a simple phenomenological form for the self-energy which allows us to extract important information from angle resolved photoemission data on the high Tc superconductor Bi2212. First, we find a rapid suppression of the single particle scattering rate below Tc for all doping levels. Second, we find that in the overdoped materials the gap Delta at all k-points on the Fermi surface has significant temperature dependence and vanishes near Tc. In contrast, in the underdoped samples such behavior is found only at k-points close to the diagonal. Near (pi,0), Delta is essentially T-independent in the underdoped samples. The filling-in of the pseudogap with increasing T is described by a broadening proportional to T-Tc, which is naturally explained by pairing correlations above Tc.
