@@johnthomson83 Kristofferson and Janis were lovers for a while and later best of friends. He said he didn't get to hear her version of his song until soon after she'd passed, it took him dozens of listens before he could get through the song without breaking down.
This might be Janis Joplin's signature song here. It took a country outlaw and all-around hell-raiser like Kris Kristofferson to write it, though. This is one of the greatest match-ups of singer and songwriter ever. Kris Kristofferson's hard living gave him the insight to write Johnny Cash's "Sunday Morning Coming Down"(best hangover song EVER)as well as sexually-charged classic country songs like "Help Me Make it Through the Night." Janis was quite a rebel herself, and mixing those two together was great. I know that Kris wrote the song, but Janis was the one that owns it. Great reaction....but I'm shocked that you've never heard of this song before. It's just that much of a classic.
"Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose" Kris Kristofferson wrote an amazing song, but there is no one else who could have delivered it like Janice.
I love how she uses "la la la" to turn her voice into a lead instrument in the last verse leading into the final blow out. Janis Joplin guitar, Richard Bell piano, Ken Pearson organ, John Till lead guitar. PS. Paul A. Rothchild, best known as the recording studio producer of The Doors, produced this song. That might explain why some of the piano work during the blow out section evokes the sounds of Ray Manzarek from The Doors.

She is an absolute Legend. Read some of her autobiographies. I guarantee you'll love them. I did a few College papers on her. She was remarkable. She hit Jim Morrison over the head with a bottle of Jack Daniels LOL. Legend. Died way too young
Stretch out your aggression with 'Move Over." Jamis is in total control of her vocal power and dares you to sit still. She always gave her best. Which is all we can do in the end. R.I.P. Janis.
The 27 club is a very tragic club to be a part of . It started with blues man Robert Johnson in the 30s . Picked up a lot of members in the 60s and early 70s . Brian Jones Jim Morrison Janis Joplin .later in the 90s Kurt Cobain
You’ll never hear a bad word about Janis. She was truly a sweet soul. She was only here for a very short period of time….but, she left us a little something to remember her by. I’m sure she would want us to enjoy her music and to make the most of our lives. Don’t waste a minute of it. Life is way too short. Spread the music, the love and be kind to others.
Janis was very much influenced by Bessie Smith (the Empress of the Blues). When Janis found out that Bessie was buried with no tombstone she bought one and had it placed on Bessie's grave. I adore Janis and Bessie Smith. Do a reaction to Bessie Smith!
Saw her at Winterland, with Big Brother and the Holding Company; Quicksilver Messenger Service; Jefferson Airplane; and The Grateful Dead, August '67. Not once did any of them stop a song to explain it to the audience. Between tunes..."I had a pair a Levi's and a couple a T-shirts and I figured I had my shit pretty well together, man". (Janis Joplin, introducing the next song). "But there was this chick that lived upstairs, and she always seemed to be so fine, nice clothes, smelled good, fancy hair. And I couldn't figure out what it was she had that I didn't have. So, one day I hid in the stairwell, and you know what I found out? This chick hit the streets at noon, man. I mean, I didn't even get up until three. So, I learned, what you gotta do, man, is try, just a little bit harder".
There's also her demo on RUclips Music. Kris had an year long affair with her. He recorded this song originally about his agent's receptionist a woman. He said when Janis recorded this it was forever her song. She died before it was released and never performed it live... 😢
Stunning talent - and superbly showcased by an amazing group of outstanding musicians. Then only one I can think of today who had equally so much overflowng ability and soul, is the late Amy Winehouse. These sorts of genuis arrive from nowwhere, show us all what sheer talent is really all about and depart; perhaps their own vitality and need for expression - and having to deal with the atttendent adoration, is simply too much for them to cope with? Better to burn out - then fade away?
I'd love to see you react to Janis Joplin singing "Cry Baby." One of my favorite songs of hers, with some of the most impressive of Janis' vocals (and that's saying something). Song gives me goose bumps every time.
Love this song, love Janis for half a century now. For change of pace Would you do Faith Hill with hubby Tim McGraw " How to speak to a girl." They have raised 3 daughters now. They have 3 daughters.
Heres 2 80-90ss classics for u that no one has reactiaction to by Tom Petty Jammin Me 1987 and You Wrecked Me 1994 RIP Tom thansk Pete love ur Vids Scribe cash!
This was written by her boyfriend at the time Chris christopherson she sang it is a gift for him. Sadly the Queen left the building before he could hear it. Long live the Queen of the Blues
Kris Kristofferson was never her boyfriend. It was co-written by Kris and Fred Foster and was originally performed by Roger Miller. The song is the story of two drifters, the narrator and Bobby McGee. The couple hitch a ride from a truck driver and sing as they drive through the American South. They visit California and then part ways, with the song's narrator expressing sadness afterwards. Due to the singer's name never being mentioned and the name "Bobby" being gender neutral, the song has been recorded by both male and female singers with only minor differences in the lyrical content.
@@thegorn68 You might want to go listen to Kris Kristophersons interview about this song. He lived with Janis for about a MONTH (he said so) and in the mid-60s maybe 66 or 67, they would be freaky deakying, he as much as said so. This song was about an adventure, of course, real or made up who knows, but he asked a friend/partner what his Secretary's name was, and it was Bobbie McKee (a girl), so Kris got it wrong and wrote Bobby Mcgee, she said it was OK to use her name after she got a Divorce her husband used to tell everyone that song was about him and his wife, (LOL). Janis recorded this son and was going to surprise him in early 1970, she of course died before the song was ever released. Seems Fred was the guy who had the Secretary.............SEE BELOW: The suggestion for the title was a cordial challenge from producer and Monument Records founder Fred Foster to Kris. The titular character was named for a studio secretary, Barbara "Bobbie" McKee, but Kristofferson had misheard her surname. Kris explained that he was trying to convey the despair of the last scene of Frederico Fellini’s ‘’La Strada’’ where a broken, war-torn, inebriated Anthony Quinn stares up from the beach, at the night's stars
Yep...another great Kris Kristofferson song. You should check him out. You might have seen him in the movies. Also, check out the movie The Rose starring Bette Midler and is loosely based on Janis. Here's a scene ruclips.net/video/scMAwJGVYA8/видео.html
Why don't you get some sense; she's young; black people, don't usually grow up with this; plus; there is hardly any radio play of this now, for anyone. You make it sound as if she were dumb or morally deficient, for never having heard of this.!!
@@brainsareus so since she is young and black and the song is old Matt has no sense to say what he did? That was a straight ignorant post. I am young, white and didn't grow up with rap but I know the classics sung by people like Tupac, Dre, Ice T, etc... Ben E King sings my favorite song from the 60's.... You are rude!
"I'd trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday" One of the most emotionally true statements ever made.
Brutal and beautiful. Chris wrote it but she puts all her soul into it.
Absolutely Rick.

If you grew up in the 70's and 80's this song played constantly on the radio. Still is actually. Forgot I was old.
Not old, Classic.I used to blast Janis as loud as my car radio would play on my way to work to get me ready for my day
Yep, old here, too -- but we did have some good music back in the day, right? Regards....
RIGHT! lol, same right here. Music of yesteryear so much better, just sayin'. Much respect Janis!

Thanks for identifying all of the musicians on this track. It's an amazing, well-thought-out arrangement. Love the blowout section!
You need to hear Janis sing "A Woman Left Lonely." She nails that in an all-over-goosebumps way.
The story of how she got hold of this song is fantastic. I'm sure it's on here. Janis Joplin and Kris kristopherson.
For a chuckle listen to Janis singing ' Mercedes Benz ' it's short but sweet.
That song is so much fun LOL. I've been a bartender for at least 15 years now. I can get the whole bar singing that. I love her chuckle at the end
The song was written by Kris Kristofferson.
songwriter, rebel truck driver , Blades mentor and vampire hunter
Yes it was they were dating at the time she repaid him by banging jimmy Hendricks and writing piece of my heart about him. Lol

Yes, saw a documentary on her, she lived to the fullest. She rocked for sure!
So glad that your Janis journey led to this absolute GEM...this woman had soul.
Love the way you vibe with it
Kristofferson wrote and recorded it but Janis made the song hers.
Kristoferrson should have landed more helicopters.
She sent Kris a copy of her recording. He received it the day she died. So he never got to tell her how great her version was. Two great talents.
@@thrakkorzog75002 what does that even mean?
@@russellgtyler8288 Kristofferson had a rep for dramatic helicopter landings.
@@russellgtyler8288 ...In the mid '60s , Kristoferrson was a helicopter pilot in Vietnam.
You rock girl! Fantastic reaction!!!
Music was SO good when I was a kid, it's criminal.
I luv her & now you have another sub
Thanks 4Sharing
I remember listening to this song the day she died which seemed to play all day long. Jimi, Janis and Jim all died within months of one another.
Love you lovin Janis 💕
Also I have watched a lot of your reactions over this year and this one made me a new sub. Great reaction!!
Another one of many of our great artists lost to the 27 club. RIP Janice, oh how her flame burned bright if only for a minute.
If this song doesn't make you feel good, nothing will.
Amen! 👍
One of my TOP 5 SONGS of all time!!!!!
