Thanks for doing this one guys. I saw her at the Atlanta Pop festival in 1969. She followed Led Zeppelin (amazing). When their set was over all of the lights went out and out of the dark, without a band she sang the first "Summertime" notes. 250,000 people stood up, the lights went on and we stood watching her for her entire set. She was one of a kind.

BB King said that he loved to listen to Janis sing because she was the only person he'd ever heard who could sing in three octaves at once. She was a truly respected talent.
Thanks. We had the greatest musicians back in the 60s and 70s. I was lucky enough to see her in Vancouver BC. THANK GOD because she died too soon. Part of the 27 club. Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix and Janis. She got a different backing band because THE HOLDING COMPANY couldn't keep up with her.
Her 3 main studio albums you need.... Cheap Thrills.....Big Brother and the Holding Company (1968) I Got Dem Ol Kozmic Blues Again Mama... Kozmic Blues Band (1969) Pearl ...Full Tilt Boogie Band ( 1971).. The rest of her catalog is just gravy..live or otherwise... enjoy these 3 albums that will be with you for the rest of your lives.

Rolling Stone a few years ago published their pics titled "100 Greatest Singers of All Time" and Janis Joplin was ranked "The 28th Greatest Singer of All Time"
"Summertime" was written by George Gershwin as part of "Porgy & Bess" back in 1934. According to Guinness World Records, "Summertime" holds the world record for the total number of recorded versions of a song (67,591 in 2017). The first version I remember hearing back when was Sam Cooke's hit version from 1958. I discovered many of the other versions on my own as I got older. Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, and Mahalia Jackson recorded classic versions, as did The Marcels, Herbie Mann, and Big Mama Thorton. The other two versions from the sixties that stand apart along with this Janis Joplin version, are Ricky Nelson's "swamp rock" version from 1962 and Billy Stewart's 1966 version filled with blasting horns and rapid fire scat singing like you won't believe. This Janis Joplin version stands out for her singing, of course, but also for its psychedelic arrangement which varies considerably from other versions. Sublime dropped a reggae/dub/hip-hop version in 1997 called "Doin' Time". Check it out.
George Gershwin was considered America's classical music composer. Janis took his classical composition and made it her own, blues/psychedelic. Gentlemen, thank you for keeping her music alive for this generation to discover and enjoy.
One thing I love about Janis is that she can control her voice unbelievably well. From a very pure tone to that polyphonic thing she does which people like to call a ‘rasp’, and everything in between. She does exactly what she wants to do at every moment, all while keeping the feeling so real and raw. Such an amazing talent.
Janis wore her soul like a blanket trying to protect her from pain, hurt, anger, & even love! This woman was one of a kind, & sadly missed by everyone who loved & understood her music ❤ 💚 💙 She truly was a gift that was only with us for a short time, but what a glorious time it was!!! Thank you both, for such a thoughtful reaction ❤ 💚 💙
I always have such mixed emotions when I listen to (especially when I see her) Janice singing. She was such an immense, raw talent but with a vulnerable and sad, almost tormented soul. She could never escape from her past and ultimately that's what led to her demise at such a young age. She was a true lost treasure.
I have had mixed emotions to her music, too, also had a decade where I couldn't listen to her at all, bcs she brings up so much feelings‼️Janis Joplin was so real, she stood in her own autensity, she's the real shit, that's why she hits us so hard‼️🎯JazzyT.
As someone who grew up with this music I would like to give U a suggestion for listening to Janis studio versions: put ur headphones on & close ur eyes as U transport Urself back to 60s & how I listened to Janis - no visual distractions resulting in an experience that with all the new tech cannot be duplicated - I encourage to continue to taste music from 'back in the day' - I thoroughly enjoyed ur reaction
When Janis was in high school and college she would sing at some clubs in Port Arthur. But, then she would go over the border with friends over the border and watch real blues singers in clubs. she would eat it up and taken it all in. She learned her craft not just from a natural talent but, from observing the true blues where she could and incorporating it into her music.
It was Big Brother and the Holding Company. The 2 brilliant guitarists of the band, James Gurley and Sam Andrew only joined the Kozmic Blues band after Janis Joplin died.
The Band is called the Kozmic Blues Band. Yes she wrote some original songs like Move Over (Please listen to the Studio Version), Kozmic Blues (Live version from Toronto 1970) Turtle Blues and Mercedes Benz.
I highly recommend the cheep thrills album, mostly because I bought it when it came out , and I was so influenced. Love you guys, keep up the great comments on the greatest era of rock music. Thank you
Saw her live in London in 1969, just before she died. She was beyond amazing live, as she said hi London, and began to down her Sloe Gin bottle as she sang her heart out. It was a high in my life.
I think that’s her Kozmic Blues Band. Yeah- she could do that throat singing thing that creates a chord. For another amazing example, check out Snarky Puppy with Lalah Hathaway ‘s ( Donny’s daughter!) Grammy winning performance. Before that, you guys will go cucu for the amazing fusion band itself , Snarky Puppy- be sure to watch “ Lingus “- it will blow your minds. Sorry to ramble so much! Y’all are just so responsive to great music and it’s fun to watch. 😊
The "Cheap Thrills" album has the original studio version of this song, as well as the highly recommended "Ball and Chain". You'll see a concert performance of Ball and Chain commonly recommended on RUclips but it's edited down a lot. Cheap Thrills gives you the whole version. Also on that album check one of her own compositions, "Turtle Blues". Quintessential Janis.
When I read Cheap Thrills album, I emedediently thought about Turtle Blues‼️I have 7 Albums of her, and Turtle Blues is only on Cheap Thrills‼️Janis was my youths obsession beside Jazz ‼️🎯JazzyT.
Awesome reaction!! I believe this band is her Kozmic Blues Band. And yes, she did write a few of her own songs, "Kozmic Blues", "Half Moon", "Little Girl Blue", "Mercedes Benz" and a few others. Her albums are 1. Big Brother and The Holding Company 2. Cheap Thrills (shortened from Sex, Drugs & Cheap Thrills) 3. I Got Dem Ol Kozmic Blues Again, Mama! 4. Pearl And Happy Thanksgiving! Hope you both have a great and safe day!
She didn't write "Little Girl blue" however it is one of the best she did and reflects her life very well. Richard Rodgers wrote the music Lorenz hart wote the and lyrics . It was first published in the 1930's and was part of a Broadway musical "Jumbo". That was the type of music she loved and she wanted to record it a long time before she did. The song fits her life struggles.
I'm glad they brought up the band, Big Brother and the Holding Company were so overshadowed by Janis that I believe they rarely got the recognition deserved and the skill to to bring out the best in such a huge talent as Miss Joplin
I got goose bumps all over, she was my youths obsession, beside Jazz, I have 7 Albums of her ‼️Work Me, Lord on Kozmic Blues is fantastic, Ego Rock where she sings wt a guy is funny‼️When she sings Ball and Chain at Monterey Pop Festival, a woman in the audience sits wt her mouth open, bcs she got so amazed‼️It's fun to see your reaction, thanks for sharing ‼️🎯JazzyT.
This is Terry VonCannon. As her career went forward so did the quality of her band. This is Full Tilt Boogie I believe. Her earlier band was Big Brother and the Holding Co. Interesting fact she went to high school in Texas with football coach Jimmy Johnson.
Big Brother and the Holding Company was the name of her band,,,they carried it to the max/ Name of the album is Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama! Studio album by Janis Joplin
This is one of my favorites!! If you need another to react, her work me lord live in Stockholm performance. A couple albums are Kozmic Blues & Cheap Thrills
@@ferdinandalexander8053 Yes, the Stockholm version is better (in my opinion) than the Woodstock version because her voice was going at Woodstock because of the all day and night activities. . She could not hit some of the notes at Woodstock and it was frustrating her.
Some great songs of hers to check out As good as you’ve been to this world Ego rock Little girl blue Turtle blues To love somebody Get it while you can Kozmic blues These aren’t the most requested perhaps but threw in some lesser known gems ☺️
This is The Full Tilt Boogie Band , Janis said she never felt connected with this band , but this is the band her manager set up for her . The song you reacted to Ball And Chain , that was with Big Brother And The Holding Company , she was happy with them , but , some of them were not happy because Janis came along and basically took over the band , people showed up to see Janis , Big Brother was just there . I myself , prefer Big Brother And The Holding Company over The Full Tilt Boogie Band , or The Kozmic Blues Band , which was her second band !!
Please please please check out Who Knows Where The Time Goes by Fairport Convention. The singer is Sandy Denny and she was the only feature on a led zeppelin album. She won female vocalist of the year in 1970 along with the male vocalist Robert Plant. She is my favorite female singer by far
Albums: 1968 Cheap Thrills, 1969 I Got Dem OL’ Kozmic Blues Again Mama, 1971 Pearl, 1972 In Concert. There are some other albums produced after her death but these are the albums that were her biggest ones.
I'm sure someone down below noted this, but she released 4 albums (Big Brother and the Holding Company (1967); Cheap Thrills (first hit album); I Got Dem Ol Kozmic Blues, Mama (1969) and Pearl (1971) which was released 3 months after her death. She went through about three different bands and explored a lot of Blues, R&B (with kind of an Otis Redding style) and even country. Amazing, though too tragically short, career.
Big Brother and the Holding Company (aka Big Brother) Album: Cheap Thrills; Select songs: Piece of My Heart, Summertime, Ball and Chain Kozmic Blues Band (the one in this video) Album: I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again, Mama; Select Songs: To Love Somebody, Maybe, Try, Work Me Lord, Little Girl Blue Full Tilt Boogie Band Album: Pearl; Select Songs: Me and Bobby McGee, Cry Baby, Mercedes Benz, Get it While You Can, A Woman Left Lonely
I can’t wait until you listen to Edgar Winter…I suggest you react to “Save The Planet” studio version from the “White Trash” album - blue eyed gospel/rock/blues
Those really were the days..
Her band was Big Brother and the Holding Company.
Thanks for doing this one guys. I saw her at the Atlanta Pop festival in 1969. She followed Led Zeppelin (amazing).

And the holding company.
Suggestions: Janis Joplin- Try (Live at Woodstock, 1969)
BB King said that he loved to listen to Janis sing because she was the only person he'd ever heard who could sing in three octaves at once.
She was a truly respected talent.
Chris Stapleton can do it too. Both are phenomenal talents.
Album: CHEAP THRILLS, A funkin' banger!
Her n Amy stir the same emotions. Can't think of any other...
I agree with you on that
They are both in the 27 club with, Jimmie Hendrix, Curt Cobane and Jim Morrison‼️🎯JazzyT.
Thanks. We had the greatest musicians back in the 60s and 70s. I was lucky enough to see her in Vancouver BC. THANK GOD because she died too soon. Part of the 27 club. Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix and Janis. She got a different backing band because THE HOLDING COMPANY couldn't keep up with her.

Rolling Stone a few years ago published their pics titled "100 Greatest Singers of All Time" and Janis Joplin was ranked "The 28th Greatest Singer of All Time"
Janis is my favorite female vocalist.
but her voice was so full of pain.
Janis was a once in a lifetime talent, gone WAAAAY to soon! RIP ❤🙏 ❤
Her band was called Big Brother and the Holding Company. Earlier band was Full Tilt Boogie Band.

Hands down, my favorite version of this classic song. It’s like something from out of this world
Three Albums: Cheep Thrills, Pearl, I Got Them Old Cosmic Blues.
She always chokes me up.
She had three bands during her career kosmic blues band ,big brother and the holding company and the full tilt boogie band
woooooooooshhh
Yes she amazing ❤
One thing I love about Janis is that she can control her voice unbelievably well. From a very pure tone to that polyphonic thing she does which people like to call a ‘rasp’, and everything in between. She does exactly what she wants to do at every moment, all while keeping the feeling so real and raw. Such an amazing talent.
A solid favorite of mine for the past 50 years. I can feel her singing.....

This woman was one of a kind, & sadly missed by everyone who loved & understood her music ❤ 💚 💙 She truly was a gift that was only with us for a short time, but what a glorious time it was!!!

@@tovenrvik6336 I read that she was horribly bullied and tormented as a child.
ME TOO! a very weird DIchotomy
I believe that the guitar in the studio version was written and performed by Hendrix and thats why is so great.
Yes she sounds like 2 people singing
As someone who grew up with this music I would like to give U a suggestion for listening to Janis studio versions: put ur headphones on & close ur eyes as U transport Urself back to 60s & how I listened to Janis - no visual distractions resulting in an experience that with all the new tech cannot be duplicated - I encourage to continue to taste music from 'back in the day' - I thoroughly enjoyed ur reaction

She learned her craft not just from a natural talent but, from observing the true blues where she could and incorporating it into her music.
Bessie Smith was her role model, her Ball and Chain is a song that the Blues singer Big Mama Thornton used to sing‼️🎯JazzyT.
❤Janis. Gone too soon. RIP🌹
Her audio has been analyzed and they've proven that she sings two distinct notes at the same time and you can hear it especially with earphones
I think the band was Cozmic Blues band here. Later on they were Big Brother and the Holding Company.
It was Big Brother and the Holding Company. The 2 brilliant guitarists of the band, James Gurley and Sam Andrew only joined the Kozmic Blues band after Janis Joplin died.
I LOVE YOU JANIS !

My gurl Janice! Nothin but love for her music. 🔥✌️❣️
Mom had Pearl, Greatest hits and Big Brother and the holding Co albums - all great. Janis was a force of nature!
I think that’s her Kozmic Blues Band.
Yeah- she could do that throat singing thing that creates a chord.

I love Snarky Puppy!! I have to check that out with Lalah. Thank you
This is the song by Janis that my son would go to sleep to when he was a baby.
Summertime was meant to be a lullaby in the Porgy and Bess opera.

AB , WHAT a great youtube channel you have for us thank you both , Joe Nania
This is Janis's Kosmic Blues band that she put together after leaving Big Brother and The Holding Company.
Joplin had the ability to sing with polyphonic overtones and did it often, though not always.
You have to react to janis and tom jones "raise your hand". Tom had to adjust after the first verse to match her.
"She's harmonizing with herself". Great description of a Polyphonic voice. GREAT reaction!
Her band was called "Big Brother and the Holding Company". ☮
The band was Big Brother and the Holding company Cheap Thrills is the album
I'm glad they brought up the band, Big Brother and the Holding Company were so overshadowed by Janis that I believe they rarely got the recognition deserved and the skill to to bring out the best in such a huge talent as Miss Joplin

That "woman" was Cass Elliott who had arrayed for Janis to be there. She's from The Mamas and the Pappas
Saw her perform this and others at a 2 day festival with Jimi, 2 months before Jimi died.
the Band is Big Brother and the Holding Company.
The studio version is absolutely fantastic...
Her first band was Big Brother and the holding company and I think this band was the Cosmic Blues band
This is Terry VonCannon. As her career went forward so did the quality of her band. This is Full Tilt Boogie I believe. Her earlier band was Big Brother and the Holding Co. Interesting fact she went to high school in Texas with football coach Jimmy Johnson.
I'd have to look it up again, but I think I remember reading that she is like #28 on 100 best rock vocalists
Third song on her "Cozmic Blues" album
The best-known album for her most popular studio work is "Pearl", though I'm sure there are others.
Big Brother and the Holding Company was the name of her band,,,they carried it to the max/ Name of the album is Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama!
Studio album by Janis Joplin
This is one of my favorites!! If you need another to react, her work me lord live in Stockholm performance. A couple albums are Kozmic Blues & Cheap Thrills
Oh yes! That's a great one
Her (their) first album is Cheap Thrills. I think I was 13 when I bought it.
Her bands name was ,Big brother and the holding company. ✌️
PEARL.....it's a must!
RIP Janis, you were one of a kind and gone too soon.
Soooou amazing ❤
Cheap thrills. The 1st and best
Cheep Thrill and Pearl are her best albums, imo. Great reaction!!
The Holding Company, I believe is the bands name. I'm also pretty sure everyone on stage is higher than I'll ever be. Love the reactions guys.
Big Brother and the Holding Company ? I haven’t a clue as to that intrinsic puzzle…. Good insight, y’all 🍻
Please do “ Little Girl Blue” live
P.S. - your reactions are awesome, just subscribed 😍
Thank you so much!! We will look into that for you.
@@AirplayBeats "Little girl blue" is sort of her own story. That and "work me lord"
If this one hits you then Work Me Lord Live in Stockholm 1969 is going to put you over the edge. Great reaction!
Yes the Stockholm "work me lord" is the best
@@Cuffsmaster Yes, it's amazing because you can tell she's tired and out of breath when she starts off but then she absolutely kills it!
@@ferdinandalexander8053 Yes, the Stockholm version is better (in my opinion) than the Woodstock version because her voice was going at Woodstock because of the all day and night activities. . She could not hit some of the notes at Woodstock and it was frustrating her.
I still have an album titled 'Cheap Thrills' with Big Brother and The Holding Company. Its horribly recorded but I love the album cover 😊
In the 1960's and the 1970's Janis was part of our rebellion. Maybe only symbolically but still.....
Like a little Billie Holliday. Love the Blues..
The one and only Janis. So unique!! Please react to her performance of Little Girl Blue on the Tom Jones show. Truly mesmerising....

Summertime is A Gershwin show tune (from “Porgy and Bess” I think?)

"Codeine" is a great song of hers.
