She was very self conscious & insecure about almost every aspect of her life. Heroin instantly shuts off the self deprecating that can plague even famous people from enjoying success. I speak from experience. Now your not worrying about your life anymore but your playing Russian roulette by self medicating with smack. I wish I could have understood that 20 years ago.
@@johnrebel9539 Je crois pas 1 seconde que Janis ait pu shooter déjà ivre ET se balader dans l'hotel 10 MINUTES; la dope était pas couper ;cette histoire est impossible.Elle serait morte après le shoot . tu es d'accord non?
Thanks to Kris writting that masterpiece of music and to Janis making with her soul and voice the song her own. You can literally feel and imagine Janis sitting next to Bobby riding in eternity. God bless RIP
I’m 64 years young May 22, 2024. My sister-in-law turned me on to Janis at age 10. I’m from Baton Rouge so this song has even more of a Special Memory for me. What a Tragic loss!
Lifelong, as a nurse, I always loathed “tools of satan” as drugs, booze and cancer of lungs tobacco. But in timeless songs/artists of the past, so many classics were the results of deeply drugged artists. Prince, Jackson,Joplin, Winehouse , Miles Davis, Simone,Cannonball etc etc etc. Suspect these tools open up cerebral windows sobriety can’t embrace. And soooo many die young. Probably best to love sobriety. Healthier anyway.
I AM 84 AND I AGREE WITH YOU. I AM A RETIRED MUSICIAN AND I ALWAYS FELT THAT SHE NEVER REALIZED JUST WHAT A SUPER TALENT SHE WAS. I HOPE SHE RESTS IN PEACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm 74 now,,, such an outstanding lady ! such a beautiful lady and amazing voice ! I still miss her,,,tooo bad some of these so-called female singers of today don't even have half the talent,,,,,,much less the voice !
Kris Kristofferson wrote the lyrics to the song. Janice was in the studio recording it. Kris was out of town. Janis left the studio, with the song in the can,at the studio. She died the next day. By the time he heard the masterpiece, that she had made from his song,she was dead. Can you imagine hearing your song,sung by the greatest performer.... knowing she would never hear her swan song
@@gogoyubari366 thanks for the correction,I'm old enough to remember her long before she died. I spell correctly, pertaining to the subject. Auto correct on the damn phone makes its mind up for me.
@@Mr755134 sorry for your loss Grief can last a lifetime,I just lost my 5th brother & it hurts us so deeply,thank God he gave us the magnificent music 🎶🎵 for our soul,
I've absolutely loved Janis Joplin since the first time I heard her voice!!! She had more talent, and soul inside of her than anyone on this planet! She thrived with music, I believe it built her up, and she just absolutely flourished off of it, and because of that, she filled those listening to her performances with such power, epic blues, love, and sheer beautiful joy, her music filled your entire body and soul, and you felt every single note, like it was part of you, she just pulled you in, and made you feel like you were part of the music!❤ At least that's how she made me feel! I loved watching her on The Dick Cavett Show, you could just tell he loved her, and loved having her on his show, he was awesome! She seemed like such a beautiful free spirit, and beautiful human being!❤ How could anyone not love her? She told it like it was, and didn't let what people (haters), thought about her! I loved her honesty, and frankness in interviews! She was beautiful inside, an out, and one hell-of-a talented lady!❤ RIP Janis, and thank you for all the awesome music you gave us!
Nicely said. There's a documentary about her tragic life that sheds light on her inner struggles. It has been said that she made love to her audience and then the band members went home with their mates and she went home alone. Its easy to understand her depression and attraction to narcotics, tho they always betray the user in the end. I am 70 now and realize that she needed the Lord Jesus in her life, as we all do (Matthew 6:33). Thanks again for your thoughts;we lost her and Jimi all to soon.
@@allanpotts6765 I think these people are too incredible for this world and visit it for a short while then get called to somewhere else . If we could see their true beauty we would not be able to gaze upon their form , it would blow our minds , they are toned down so we can look at them . But no one realises it .
I loved Her also it’s sad ! Janice needed someone to stay by Her side ! But what can you do she was in charge and like Elvis she took her own advice I thank but it’s a true loss for All of us 🥰😍💕👍👀👌🌹🌹🌹🌹🥰🥰
Spent an entire day getting from Baton Rouge to New Orleans around 1988. A long, long, long trip through sugar cane. I think that's one of the reasons I really love this song.
I loved Janice Jimmy abd many who are still here+ Neil Young+ Bobby Dylan+ l am hardly square/ however one can enjoy life w out drugs/ l have done a lot of living+ try to love life+ only ' game in town'+ l found a 2d career years ago working w the elderly( 85 and over- so rewarding+ thank you / GREAT MUSIC/ l am 66😊
I am now 51 and remember driving in my BMW at 22 years with my new girlfriend with Janis Joplin on a CD through France in la Provence, and all the memories come up., great!
Mama love her ( I was just 7-8-9 in 67 68 69 born 1960 ) had all her records. I started playing Bass in 71 at 11. Everytime a Janis song comes on I think of mama. I'm sure moms hanging with her up there lol.
Absolutely 🤗 my favorite female singer 💖 can you imagine what she would have been doing with her music 🎶 and unique voice and in you face persona if she hadn't been taken from us way to soon 💞🎶
Janice Joplin is my HERO! I've loved her since I first herd my sister playing an 8 track tape of her's. Damn, what a shame she left us right before the miracle happens. She is absolutely got a voice that reaches my soul.
My favorite singer EVER! I miss you baby girl. I would have given anything in this world to see you in concert... With your amazing and unbelievable voice that ROCK'S THE ENTIRE COLOSSEUM.
I remember hearing Janis singing Me and Bobby McGee for the first time in my life, I was about six or seven years old. I turned the radio on my mom's 64 Chevy and I was blown away from Janis's voice. What a waste of such beautiful talent. I have loved her music ever since that day. And I always will. I will always remember you Janis. Rest in peace.
Era un modello, ci vestiva mo così, eravamo e forse lo siamo ancora un po' così, in tutto ci mettiamo il cuore e il mondo lo fa a pezzi... Sei sempre con noi!
I DO NOT THINK THIS YOUNG LADY EVER REALIZED WHAT JUST A SUPER TALENT SHE WAS!!!!!!!!!!!!RIP BEAUTIFUL LADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@@johnrebel9539 i think Janis can't do an over dose with very good smack and alcool 15minutes after she take it!,
@@johnhedges235 Absolutely Agree!
In 2024 she's been dead twice as long as she has lived.
and yet everyone still knows her name. THAT is what I call a star!
Such a shame that not everyone that is very talented gets this recognition.
Still the best
Still my favorite.
I remember her when was alive. I still miss her. RIP.
Thanks to Kris writting that masterpiece of music and to Janis making with her soul and voice the song her own. You can literally feel and imagine Janis sitting next to Bobby riding in eternity. God bless RIP

This lady is gone, never forgotten RIP Janice.
Kris wrote it Janis owned it blessed to grow up in the 60s and 70s
Absolutely
Great song
Reminiscing fight now.

Miss the days when things were real
Iam 85 and this has been my favorite song ever sice i first heard it. I have a list of 10 of them. This one is on ❤ top.
I AM 84 AND I AGREE WITH YOU. I AM A RETIRED MUSICIAN AND I ALWAYS FELT THAT SHE NEVER REALIZED JUST WHAT A SUPER TALENT SHE WAS. I HOPE SHE RESTS IN PEACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What’s the other 9?
Speciale, freedom is just an other word for nothing left to looser.
That's so amazing
Only 69 but she has always been one of my favorites since I first heard her. Died far too young.
I'm 74 now,,, such an outstanding lady ! such a beautiful lady and amazing voice ! I still miss her,,,tooo bad some of these so-called female singers of today don't even have half the talent,,,,,,much less the voice !
First thing I did when I got back from Vietnam was buy this album. I was a bull rider from Texas
Thanks sir for your Service
Remember this song being played in my college cafeteria after she died. Sad. Was a real shock to many at the time. Still has good vibes.
I was 14 years old when I first heard this song. I asked my mother what does Freedom mean? She said just listen to this song.

Nice piece. Hers is a sad tragedy.
Broke my heart when Janis
passed away.
The song gives me goosebumps, it's from another time, but it's great,
Her voice just got into the depths of your soul, she put so much emotion into her singing
I love her she reminds me of myself looking for understanding and acceptance

Janis Joplin was one of the best female singers ever. I aboslutely love her.
One of the greatest voices of all times. Lost to soon.
RIP Janis honey. I loved you since I first heard your music many many years ago and bought 'Pearl' - instant heartbreak.
ILove Janis she had so much soul she will never be forgotten
My friend Jessica sang this when we were touring the US back in the day!! She was amazing 🤩❤❤❤
What a sweet heart! Sing on with the angels! Sing on!!!!!
her music was before the time she was something else
Timeless rock/blues classic. RIP J. J.
From the 1st time I heard this in my teens it became my favorite song. Eons later - it still is my fave.
Mine too
I agree one of the greatest still play it every day
No else one has ever had such a uniquely beautiful voice as miss joplin
Her voice is so beautiful. Love to hear to sing. Sorry she left us so early.❤❤
Spent an entire day getting from Baton Rouge to New Orleans around 1988. A long, long, long trip through sugar cane. I think that's one of the reasons I really love this song.
No doubt one in the very best
J'adore Janis, elle est incroyable
Hie from France
I don't believe this song would have gone anywhere if it had not been for Janis. She turned it into one of those songs that just wants to keep going.
She was not appreciated by the people in her life or her family as the person she was. I wish she was still alive. Her soul came out in her music.
She had got everything a vocalist could ever hope for.
あの７０年代が始まる頃、ジャニスは短命でしたね、ロック全盛の時代で、大概のシンガァーが、ドラッグが蔓延してた、ジミヘン、モリソン、懐かしいよ、もう古き良きアメリカじゃなくなった、エンド、オブ、ザ、ワァルドのような曲、あの頃しらなかったが､ポツブスもう、ややすたれて、話しそれた、あの頃、のジャニスすごかった、逸話も多い、村上龍も､よく書いてた、あれから約50年か、時代は変わった、ジャニスのような存在感の歌い手は、もう現れないだろね、、。
@@user-hd2fe1si8f はい、その通りです。時代は変わりました。ジャニス・ジョプリンはもういない。
How absolutely magnificent she was! Wow. Wish I could have met her.

JANIS JOPLIN one of the GREATEST female voices in 🎵🎶 music. Gone but never forgotten. Thanks for the songs love ya RIP.
Kris was a genius in that he could write music. I got used to his singing and learned to love it!!💃🎶💃🎶💃🎶💕🎶💕🎶🎶🎶
I miss you, Ros. Always will.
Never be another female singer like Janis
Das war noch echte gute Musik. Die Zeit kommt leider nicht mehr wieder.
Can’t tell you how much I love this song. I was born in 1949.
I'm 73 and remember when Janis and Big Brother And The Holding Company were killing it on FM stereo from WBCN in Bostron, well over 50 years ago.
dziękuję Ludziom , którzy umieszczają w '' necie'' takie ''perełki'' dla nas '' nędznych robaków ''
This Girl never dies..........✌️✌️✌️🇫🇮
It has my favorite line in any song “Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose”. 😮
One badass ! Beautiful lady 🙏😊🌹🌹🍀🍀🍀👍👍🙏🍀🍀

Janis Lyn Joplin war eine großartige Sängerin
Perfection. Total perfection. Not fake like Taylor Smith or other performers today.
Amen 🇺🇸 10000000000% Taylor Sux her way to the top with No talent.
She could as well be a top-class country singer.
Mama love her ( I was just 7-8-9 in 67 68 69 born 1960 ) had all her records. I started playing Bass in 71 at 11. Everytime a Janis song comes on I think of mama. I'm sure moms hanging with her up there lol.

Love Janis, the best.
Probably the first song I ever heard Janis sing .and no one put so much of herself into the feelings in the music she made truly my #1
Mate same, I was 12 when we lost her and 18 when had a job and started building my record collection.Her greatest hits one of first albums I bought.
Respect to this lovely lady.
Freedom’s just another word for nothing else to lose! Remember that in this day and age!
Una delle più belle ballate che segna l' epoca perduta di Woodstock .
💗❤❣ miss her style of singing, miss her 💕
One of the greatest singers ever, bar none.
I love Janice
I can't say enough about Janis❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The Queen ❤
Live fast and die young...sadly, that never seems to change. Too many great talents seem to end this way. We all play, the "if only" game...
Always in love❤
She sang with Tom Jones on his show. He gracefully stood second. Awesome.
Always loved her one of the best female singers in the world
Proper Classic song.
A unique lady, missed by me.
Her voice rings to my soul! She left us too soon!
Food bless your soul Madame.🎉
Amazing song I love it because she' was brilliant! Thanks for sharing you're life and love in the music industry!
I love to sing this one!😊
What a fine woman. I suggest buying her whole collection. She was a master of the blues.
God I wish she was still here....
Gone but never forgotten 2024
So good so pure and sweet powerful nice cool I hope that voice is here for centuries or more giving us this lovely feeling
Janis a legend her songs were true to life and still exist to all life.....
I must admire the musicality of all of her music such a wonderful blend. Sad she gave into drug abuse.
I remember hearing Janis singing Me and Bobby McGee for the first time in my life, I was about six or seven years old. I turned the radio on my mom's 64 Chevy and I was blown away from Janis's voice.

Such a short life love you Janis RIP beautiful music never forgotten
one of the best female voices still to this day and we both hail from the city of Port Arthur Texas and a graduate of Thomas Jefferson High School
A gas of a song and interpretation, vocals and band!!!
One word "LEGEND"
What glory is this!
Outstanding greatest song don't don't matter who wrote it...pearl was a gem...
One of a Kind What a Treasure
Pure beauty, will love her voice until the very end of time!!!!!!
❤ for ever ❤
You either loved Janis Joplin or didn't there was no half way with her. I loved her voice
If you didn’t you didn’t understand blues, depth of emotions
