Born in 1963 but thanks to very younger parents I grew up listening to Janis, the Stones, Bob Dylan, Beatles, CÇR and etc.... this is my youth and my teen years and still listened to this day in 2024
@@margaretmolloy257 Yeah brilliant and magical! Thanks to my parents I grew up listening to the 60's and the 70's I was only a teenager the first time I heard Janis playing on my uncle's radio and I remember saying to mysel "good lord who's that" So sad she died a young age.
She would park her Porsche on Haight Street and walk around the neighborhood when I lived there. What an incredible lady. Everyone who thinks they can sound like her never figured out that it wasn't her voice you heard, it was her soul.
ruclips.net/video/wgysklXNxOo/видео.html ...... Natalia Sikora ....closest I have ever heard ........... Janis would be proud of this girls performance .........
So true. She passed a year before my birth, but thanks to my mama, she has been a big part of my musical education. Thanks Mom. I hope you got to meet Janis in the afterlife!
I m 67 and still love her voice. One of the best voices (raw, no autotune, but simply live) we ever had. You gave her a band and a microphone and she nailed every song.
@@wastedanalogues8991 well, I’m proud to have been part of the 60’s & 70’s generation. But I’ve often wished I could’ve witnessed the 30’s blues and jazz greats. I also wish I was part of my kids generation. Even though I’ve been to many concerts with them, I envy their youth. I feel there’s great music in every decade. I just wouldn’t be willing trade my generation’s sound! 😉
@@anthonymichaelhalloates2902 ever since I was born ino this world I could feel and hear the right music , and always felt almost sad in the decades I walk in , but those blues singers, song writers , musicians , Muddy waters , janis , cream, the stones 😌 , jimi.. they left there music here to keep going for certain people's souls ! To survive . 😌🌙🌄
As soon as I get the tears out of my eyes, I'll be able to type something completely inadequate about what kind of talent she was, what kind of person she was, and how much anyone touched by her misses her so very much.
This performance is amazing and heartbreaking at the same time. How anyone could pour that much glorious passion and angst into a TV performance is beyond me. I was 11 when she and Jimi crossed the rainbow bridge, yet both of them and their music are still part of my life.
My wife use to sing this to our baby, when she would rock him to sleep. Now he’s 30 and him and his wife are expecting twins. How time flies by so fast.
Pure singing from deep wihin.....it was a joy to grow up in that era. Will be listening to her, the doors and others like them, my till I my last breath....
I'm 60 I feel the same I got to see her one time at Litchfield s in Marin I think I was 12 but I past as if I was older she will always have a piece of my heart
No better artist than Janis to bring the emotion needed when mourning the loss of a loved one. Listening to her must bring you back into the room with your mom. My condolences.
I was privileged to see Janis at the Monterey Pop Festival, and I’ve never heard another singer who could sing with such emotion, such feeling. Was a once in a lifetime experience. As was several at that event, Jimi, Otis, and several others. We may never see the talent that was in that 3 day concert, I was blessed to attend, was blessed to have a mom and dad who would pack their kids and take them from LA to Monterey for this show. They were big fans of the Mamas and the Papas, and I was also blessed to have seen them 2-3 times growing up on the West Coast. I’m truly a flower child!!!
That is such a cool story. A line in the the opening credits of my favorite show from the late 60s sums it up for me, "Man, I wish I was you". I recently watched the 40th anniversary of Monterey Pop and it made me think of the significance of what took place. You could see it on the faces of the other musicians as they and everyone there saw and heard for the first time ever, Janis, Jimi, the Who, and Otis. It truly was a once in a life time experience. I often wished I had been born years earlier. I turned eleven the Summer of Love.
Her performance of Ball & Chain just touches my soul! I wasn't even born then but I have watched the Festival on here.. Thank goodness for RUclips so we can watch such great musicians and performances such as the Monterey Pop Festival!
@@arleneirvine1526 Yes, I don't understand this comment. I listen to college stations and there's some really good music not well known on them today that's new, but the commerical music industry today? It's either bland, boring or both. Or just plain ugly.
I saw Janis live twice. When she finished you could hear a pin drop. Everybody was physically and emotionally exhausted - no gas in the tank. It was a more stunning appreciation of her greatness than our applause. Who else could do that?
Janis Joplin would be 81 if she was alive today . She was years ahead of her time . Paving the way and kicking the door open for women in rock and roll . Legend Icon Star . R.I.P. Sweet Janis Joplin ❤
She begins so calm and matter of fact though clearly a storm is brewing. By the half way point of the song, all hell has broken loose. Yet she is always in perfect control. Undoubtedly, Janice was one of the greatest blues artists of all time.
Janis, is a very talented singer and she has this magical voice and lyrics that I love ❤ her songs will never be forgotten, How long have you been listening to her songs?
No it wasn't. She sang songs and she had a style that she sang those songs in. She never wrote a single line of any of the songs that she preformed. Her style was unique but that doesn't mean she's extra spiritual or anything else.
@@CarolynSmith-ld5dzare you a performer? Unless you have been on stage, you do not know what it requires. She is absolutely pouring her whole self out, 100 percent
Janis is the absolute definition of, “Before her time.” All that talent, free moving and rockin out….not a dab of makeup. She was the Super Woman every little girl needed. Sadly, I was born in 1973 and just missed her 💔
They only talk about the drugs. She doesn't get the respect she deserves as a performer. Janis Joplin was so great, total commitment, balls to the walls, spilling her guts out like every song is her last. My favorite is her "Me and Bobby McGee".
I saw a documentary on her awhile back - I forget where it was - maybe TV - it touched on so many aspects of her life, some very personal things, it showed you who she was - a girl from Port Arthur that still wanted to be liked by her classmates when she attended her class reunion. They still rejected her, famous and accomplished as she was - heart breaking.
low, incensitive, and just plain wrong to say something like that granted perhaps u dont fancy her voice/music, still to wish someone like her to not exist is not right
it´s a complete mistery. Anyone trying to make anything close to her style will always be a pale imitation. She closed one door forever, defined an absolut peak
At the end of that clip, you can see how humble she is. She's already a superstar, but almost acting surprised that people are applauding her. That's Janis Joplin.
Yours is the only comment to acknowledge exactly what I saw as well,that humble,almost shy human being that she truly was.It was like she crossed over into some other reality when she was performing
The world hurt her, but she never stopped hoping. She acknowledged the pain, but reached for the joy. When she sang, she never told a lie. I'm a 1950s model boomer, and I grew up with the greatest artists of all time. The nights were lite with all the stars that fell to Earth back in those, crazy, golden days, and Janis was one that burned too bright to last. Oh but what a trail she blazed through those eternal summer skies. "And in those days were there signs in the heavens, and portent in the skies. And the children of men cried out to unknown gods for the words to share their pain." So Heaven wept, as one by one, the lights grew dim and faded out.
Gives you chills even 50 years later. Such a shame she died so young. Only now that I am older can I truly appreciate her talent. RIP Janis and your voice lives on.
@@leegraham1363 Sounds like someone raised you right! Follow their lead and you'll never go wrong! Peace and love.............it's what the world needs.........pass it on wherever you can!
I'm a little younger (60), so I just got to see the survivors...the ones who lived past 27...glad of it. Seeing Dead & Co in just a few weeks...got to see the other greats while the still were. Get a chance to see them now, do it, they won't be around a lot longer...then all we will have is video.
Doesn't sit right that y'all are referencing men when comparing to her when she was specifically the only woman who could rock quite like her and that's an important detail. She was a first for a lot of women in the genre. and in reply to the original comment-- yes. She's gotta be my 'If I could sound like anyone' goal for vocals, but I'm humble enough to know I'll never come close. Haha.
@@bryannab7566 Grace Slick was 10 times better than Janis was so was and still is Ann Wilson from HEART sure Janis was good never said she wasn't but she was by far the best female vocalist Momma Cass from Momma &the Poppas.
I had the incredibly good fortune to meet Janis backstage at a concert in Minneapolis back in 1969 and even shared a drink of her Southern Comfort. One of the highlights of my life.
She was a phenomenal performer. Like Hendrix, her candle burned out way too soon. She had so much more soul for her fans. We miss you Janis. Wish her candle still burns. She is missed every day by her fans.
There is a line from the book or movie Wuthering Heights which roughly stated says "Her candle just burned too brightly to live in this world." That was Janis. Who could put more heart and soul into singing a song? No one I can think of.
@@sonyachoate1480 Yes. Would you like to be a RUclips Traveler? We listen to music, comment, then share with one another...just trying to keep REAL music alive...Happy 2019!
so very right you are, just to daydream for a moment that Janis had been able to join us longer and sing more for us, would music history would have been so radically different? enticing to ponder though we all know the truth that sadly for us mortal Janis went to sing lead for a heavenly blues choir that we still yearn to hear oh perhaps some day..
Ladies and Gentlemen, this demonstrates all too well how this woman could take ANY song and inject it with so much electricity that you can never listen to the original the same way again. Janis was the absolute best when it came to kicking ass and taking names!
+Roland St Germain So true - I completely agree. Considering all she did in a few years, can you even try to imagine what she would have done if she had lived on?
+jbooks888 Definitely - from what I've been able to gather, her overdose was not a suicide attempt, and let's face it: "Pearl" was a phenomenal album, with the added bonus of the Full Tilt Boogie band providing her with a perfect playground for that unbelievable voice! Who else could turn a solo track like "Mercedes Benz" into solid gold so effortlessly? And just like you, I can't help but wonder what "Pearl 2" would've sounded like ... an album lost to the ages.
Yes, written by a 21 year old Barry Gibb at the request of Robert Stigwood. It was to be sung by Otis Redding, but he died before he got the chance, so they sang it themselves. Although the brothers themselves loved soul music, it wasn’t what the UK wanted from them at that time. They wouldn’t take it up again for another decade after they moved to the U.S.
Wow. almost 600 people that never grew up in our generation disliked this clean & passionate performance . At least they have Katy Perry to fall back on. Rock on Janis..
Kim Norman listen, I love Janis Joplin. it's annoying old people like the person who wrote the original comment that's the problem. who gives a fuck if someone doesn't like his kind of music. taste is subjective if someone likes Katy Perry like this guy said who fucking cares. let them.
Thats an arrogant sweeping generalizisation. If you really think your generations just this exclusive club of like thinking people all loving the music you do and all of us young people are just moronic, can't have opinions and just like pop then you really do have no idea of what it feels like to be young. I love this and other music of its era, the good stuff, dylan, the stones, the animals, david bowie and janis are main stays of my music collection.
I watched this clip about five times and I cry every single time. Words cannot describe what Janis conveyed from her soul through her mouth. And really a wonderful song for her. In the band was perfect.
@@jerrypage5110 But what are YOU going to do to change it and make it better Jerry?? Cant be a bitch and sit on your ass and whine about everything. get off your ass!!
Met her in San Francisco along w one of the Big Bro& Hldg. Took pics, and I still have them. She was headed toward her nice csyphdelic Colorful car.. She will always be in my heart.
@M Detlef ...but some are self righteous douchebags who think the sun shines out there ass...I doubt anyone will be talking about you some 50 years after you are dead.
@M Detlef Pretty harsh words my friend, and rather simplistic. We all choose our own ways to cope with pain (mental and physical) and sadly addiction is part of the human condition. We do better with more productive alternatives, almost always featuring some kind of support. Your approach is not effective.
Janis Joplin always had a way of making every song have that Janis Joplin ingredient. Janis was way ahead of her time. A legend forever. Janis forever.
Truly a force of nature. I wonder if she and Joe Cocker ever performed together. If they did, they would have melted everything within earshot with their combined passion and power.
Brings tears to the eyes! What a consummate artist Janis was. Those of us who were there at the time were spoiled cause, as far as I'm concerned, no one like her has been seen since.
Agreed 👍,her honesty and emotion were absolutely remarkable,she was one of a kind,a true blessing, natural as one can be,she was and still is the bright light of soul, ironic that word...soul because it has two definitions in one embodiment of a person,Janis Joplin ✌️
Went to her childhood home in Port Arthur, said a prayer and sat there in front of the memorial. Later i went to the museum there and got memorabilia, and then I went to the beach west of Sabine pass thinking she was there with me. It was a full moon...
She took an already amazing song and elevated it into the stratosphere. I's been 50 years on since her passing and I can honestly say no one today comes close.
I watched a lot of modern day artists try to cover her. No one sounds like her. She's just someone that is so special you have to be grateful with memories. Perfection is only perfection because it can't last forever.
I was at one of her last concerts as a toddler. My older brother remembers her. He says he thought she was yelling out because she was in pain. We were both born in 66. We are from San Francisco. Her songs cannot be duplicated, I agree. I like Bobby Mcgee the most.
That's Pure talent ...her voice is a gift from heaven with such emotional notes , blows me away !! One thing for sure , that's her live voice , no autotune , no nothing but her raw voice at its purest form . That's a real Texas Girl !
That was Brilliant......I'm 71 years old and that just sends me back to my youth.......and that is the woman that has carried me for 50+ years. She has carried my heart and soul....for 50 and more years.... Thank you Janis....I just wish you could have been here these last 50 years or so..... And shown these pathetic wannabees what real talent is!
I remember driving to high school and listening to this new song "Down On Me" on the radio. Blew me away. She only got better. Us baby boomers are old geezers now but we were teenagers in the late '60s. What a time to be a music fan. It was all new and it was incredible.

She gave 100 percent of her soul in every song she sang. She felt unloved, and that breaks my heart and haunts me 50 plus years later.
in the documentary Janis: Little Girl Blue Janis speaks fondly of David Niehaus as if she felt loved

The world hurt her, but she never stopped hoping. She acknowledged the pain, but reached for the joy. When she sang, she never told a lie.
I'm a 1950s model boomer, and I grew up with the greatest artists of all time. The nights were lite with all the stars that fell to Earth back in those, crazy, golden days, and Janis was one that burned too bright to last. Oh but what a trail she blazed through those eternal summer skies.
"And in those days were there signs in the heavens, and portent in the skies. And the children of men cried out to unknown gods for the words to share their pain."
So Heaven wept, as one by one, the lights grew dim and faded out.
Gives you chills even 50 years later. Such a shame she died so young. Only now that I am older can I truly appreciate her talent. RIP Janis and your voice lives on.
Steel Pulse just remembered her on their Facebook page. It brought me here.
Cry cry baby! Love her ... ❤️
Those drugs aren't something to mess with. All were talented, but drugs will kill you.
She should have read her bible and stayed away from hollyweird.
@@mno2945 religion kills too
I'm 65 now and I'm still digging this 😎👍🏆🔥❤
and in 2021 she is still the best - nobody did music like Janis Joplin - God Rest and thanks for leaving a legacy of talent.
No auto tune needed, she's the greatest
Thank God
The only one semi close was Stevie Nicks' presence onstage in the 70s and early 80s
My mum and dad favourite
@@leegraham1363 Sounds like someone raised you right! Follow their lead and you'll never go wrong! Peace and love.............it's what the world needs.........pass it on wherever you can!
Janis Joplin rocked this song in 1969. It was written by The Bee Gee's in 1967. She was and forever will be one of a kind.
One good thing about being old now is:
I and anyone my age can say, We got to see all the good bands and singers live!
I'm a little younger (60), so I just got to see the survivors...the ones who lived past 27...glad of it. Seeing Dead & Co in just a few weeks...got to see the other greats while the still were. Get a chance to see them now, do it, they won't be around a lot longer...then all we will have is video.
Lucky, all I got is RUclips now
Mike B I did and didn't have to break the bank to do it. saw 90 per cent of the BEST of ALL TIME
Lucky you, sir.
You are. Damn rigth sr
This woman was WAY BEFORE HER TIME! What a true talent and is truly missed… RIP, BEAUTIFUL SOUL……❤❤❤
No BS , no sexy dancers , no flashing lights , just that voice , and God knows what a voice .
Janice , game over , she is a saint .
To this day, I don’t know what I want to do more: Listen to her sing for hours or hug her for days. Peace and love, Janis.
U said it all 4 me high five
Wow, beautiful.
incredible superstar passed way too soon
the most accurate comment
i agree
Nobody has even came close to this level of singing fifty years later .
And you ain't lying bro, she was the baddest voice we've heard in Rock n Roll
Only one - Axl Rose. I always feel like he is Janis reincarnated.
Evidently you all have never heard of ROB HALFORD, GEOFF TATE, ROBERT PLANT, BRUCE DICKINSON etc etc etc. Just saying.
Doesn't sit right that y'all are referencing men when comparing to her when she was specifically the only woman who could rock quite like her and that's an important detail. She was a first for a lot of women in the genre.
and in reply to the original comment-- yes. She's gotta be my 'If I could sound like anyone' goal for vocals, but I'm humble enough to know I'll never come close. Haha.
@@bryannab7566 Grace Slick was 10 times better than Janis was so was and still is Ann Wilson from HEART sure Janis was good never said she wasn't but she was by far the best female vocalist Momma Cass from Momma &the Poppas.
Still brings tears to my 80 something eyes!
I had the incredibly good fortune to meet Janis backstage at a concert in Minneapolis back in 1969 and even shared a drink of her Southern Comfort. One of the highlights of my life.
Chills 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Wow⭐
Amazing
Tell us more!
Lucky you. You were blessed❤
She was a phenomenal performer. Like Hendrix, her candle burned out way too soon. She had so much more soul for her fans. We miss you Janis. Wish her candle still burns. She is missed every day by her fans.
Amazing
27 club member...
There is a line from the book or movie Wuthering Heights which roughly stated says "Her candle just burned too brightly to live in this world." That was Janis. Who could put more heart and soul into singing a song? No one I can think of.
Burned out? Perhaps, but “put out” may be more accurate. Miss her!
Her candle is still burning baby!
I'm crying, watching this in 2020. What a terrible loss for humanity.
yeah me too I love her voice
Me too, tears.
@Thomas Reardon I'm not sure if you're being nice or a sarcastic asshole.
💯❣️😓
Me too in 2021.
Her band has
a lot of memories
sometimes ... just for nostalgia ... I miss those days ... those women so perfect ... not for their bodies ... but for their spirits
ABSOLUTELY 👏 SOULFUL LIL THING ! 27 young
HEAR! HEAR!!! Es verdad!!! No need for talent, just show your body....sad
@@drkayesfca my thoughts too. Not much talent these days. Just strut and act a complete fool. It's why I listen to music on YT. and Christian music.
@@sonyachoate1480 Yes. Would you like to be a RUclips Traveler? We listen to music, comment, then share with one another...just trying to keep REAL music alive...Happy 2019!
That what I love about you tube it's my on personal time machine.
After all these years Janis is STILL missed. We have been cheated of decades of unbelievable music.
We've been cheated of Pearl pushing Depends, Jimi selling gold, etc.
Gulf Relay - what a stupid comment. Are you 12?
so very right you are, just to daydream for a moment that Janis had been able to join us longer and sing more for us, would music history would have been so radically different? enticing to ponder though we all know the truth that sadly for us mortal Janis went to sing lead for a heavenly blues choir that we still yearn to hear oh perhaps some day..
By that devil drug.
So many idiots die from that s***.
You are a Gosh Dang f****** right
Ladies and Gentlemen, this demonstrates all too well how this woman could take ANY song and inject it with so much electricity that you can never listen to the original the same way again. Janis was the absolute best when it came to kicking ass and taking names!
+Roland St Germain cool story gramps
+restpack :-) Yep, that's me, "gramps". And don't you ever forget it!
+Roland St Germain So true - I completely agree. Considering all she did in a few years, can you even try to imagine what she would have done if she had lived on?
+jbooks888 Definitely - from what I've been able to gather, her overdose was not a suicide attempt, and let's face it: "Pearl" was a phenomenal album, with the added bonus of the Full Tilt Boogie band providing her with a perfect playground for that unbelievable voice!
Who else could turn a solo track like "Mercedes Benz" into solid gold so effortlessly? And just like you, I can't help but wonder what "Pearl 2" would've sounded like ... an album lost to the ages.
+Roland St Germain Oh yeah! Whatever she sang took on a totally new meaning!!!
I love it how she completely submits herself to the power of the music and lyrics. One of a kind.
The greatest female rock singer of ALL time. Lost to the world far to early.
She just makes the song so damn personal; like she's telling you HER story! Nothing cutesy about her; she was raw and gave you 110%.
I totally forgot it was a Bee Gees tune til I read the comments.
@@anodyne57 they did it best!
Yes, written by a 21 year old Barry Gibb at the request of Robert Stigwood. It was to be sung by Otis Redding, but he died before he got the chance, so they sang it themselves. Although the brothers themselves loved soul music, it wasn’t what the UK wanted from them at that time. They wouldn’t take it up again for another decade after they moved to the U.S.
Wow. almost 600 people that never grew up in our generation disliked this clean & passionate performance . At least they have Katy Perry to fall back on. Rock on Janis..
paul levine this is why no one likes old people.
@@sydney2902 YOU JUST HAVEN'T GOT ANY GOOD BRAIN CELLS LEFT DO U ANYONE THAT DON'T SEE & HEAR WHAT A FANTASTIC VOICE SHE HAD IS BRAIN DEAD👿😱😠😡
Kim Norman listen, I love Janis Joplin. it's annoying old people like the person who wrote the original comment that's the problem. who gives a fuck if someone doesn't like his kind of music. taste is subjective if someone likes Katy Perry like this guy said who fucking cares. let them.
Thats an arrogant sweeping generalizisation. If you really think your generations just this exclusive club of like thinking people all loving the music you do and all of us young people are just moronic, can't have opinions and just like pop then you really do have no idea of what it feels like to be young. I love this and other music of its era, the good stuff, dylan, the stones, the animals, david bowie and janis are main stays of my music collection.
Katy Perry can not hold a candle to Janis. Janis makes her sound like a want to be
I'm 72yrs oldAnd Still Janis is the Best,,RIP,,JANIS JOPLIN. 3:05
Me too❤
@elisapedani Awesome to know that your into Joplin ,I loved her since the 60s✌️ ☮️ Peace and Love,,C.J.

So True, My all time favorite Singer!!
OMG! The more of these lesser known footage of Janis I see, the more I adore her. She put her heart, soul and self in each song. RIP Janis Joplin.
I'm crying like a baby, so beautiful and full of emotions, nobody gives like Janis gave herself ❤️
Me too,tears of absolute joy❤️❤️❤️
She put her soul on the line with every song. Can’t get any better than that.
She's the best singer ever!!!!
I watched this clip about five times and I cry every single time. Words cannot describe what Janis conveyed from her soul through her mouth. And really a wonderful song for her. In the band was perfect.
Every time I watch or listen to a Janis Joplin performance I am reminded of how much we've screwed things up. The wrong people are gone.
The drug culture
Amen! Blessings!
By "we've screwed everything up", I assume you're talking about the disgusting baby boomers that destroyed everything with their greed and narcissism.
Jerry Page Ok Yes....however, blessings to you , at 64, I truly wish you the best!
@@jerrypage5110 But what are YOU going to do to change it and make it better Jerry?? Cant be a bitch and sit on your ass and whine about everything. get off your ass!!
Was eine klasse Frau...you so greatest janis.
Janis was a diamond, no one comes close to her voice. That girl sang from the heart and it can be seen.
She reminds me of Joe Cocker. He also sang his heart out, lots of soul and energy.
Dan Roux Janis and Joe both performed at Woodstock
Yes very much so , plus the hand movements
she reminds me of mars volta but 40 years before
❤ and Terry Reid, too.. ❤
Totally agree!
She set the standard for putting emotional power into her songs. The words really meant something to Janis. Cry Baby, it’s like women’s blues.
😢sadly missed sorely needed!!❤️🩹
I was trying to find the definition of goose bumps and found this
Yes she's amazing
It's called frisson when music gives you goosebumps and the chills😊
No shit man ! Agreed.
Your response will go down as one of the most amazing responses of all time
Her voice was crazy
In my heart sweet little girl blue....After 50 years (10/04/2020) R.I.P
When Janis sang something, she MEANT that shit.
Her version of Crybaby to this day gives me goosebumps.
That's my favorite by Janis.
Incomparable talent, powerful performances. Gone too soon.
When she opened her mouth, her heart flew out.
Her voice is insanely powerful, legendary and very emotionally resl
There are two types of singers in the world... Janis Joplin, and everybody else.
Amen xo
Ma vaffanculo Mauiroj....vaffanculo juo and Janis
Hahaha that’s great!
Agree!!
Joplin was no singer - ugly voice, ugly face.
She would stand up very well today. She is a gift.
I highly doubt she would these days.
Met her in San Francisco along w one of the Big Bro& Hldg. Took pics, and I still have them. She was headed toward her nice csyphdelic
Colorful car.. She will always be in my heart.
So pure her voice was...no bullshit computers or effects like the music today.
@M Detlef ...but some are self righteous douchebags who think the sun shines out there ass...I doubt anyone will be talking about you some 50 years after you are dead.
@M Detlef Pretty harsh words my friend, and rather simplistic. We all choose our own ways to cope with pain (mental and physical) and sadly addiction is part of the human condition. We do better
with more productive alternatives, almost always featuring some kind of support. Your approach is not effective.
tinwoods He’s on the money. Raw musical talent is rare these days.
God...I'm crying hearing her voice and the power of it.
Me too ❤
Janis Joplin always had a way of making every song have that Janis Joplin ingredient. Janis was way ahead of her time. A legend forever. Janis forever.
Saw her at the Fillmore West with Big brother and the holding company. Incredible
So much soul pouring out of that 26 year old woman... She was an old soul...
She went through a lot of s**t growing up in a backward town.
She sure was an old soul
she has more soul and beauty, than these so called singers of 2019. at least she isnt always touching her self.
Soul, yeah but beauty, she was look more old than her real each.
@@ivykeyWitch "She was look more old than her real each." What on earth does that mean?
Unseen Moon can’t speak English. Lol
@@legalmexican idiots with opinions are rampant here.. But at least the gist of it came thru.
Or dry humping the stage
Truly a force of nature. I wonder if she and Joe Cocker ever performed together. If they did, they would have melted everything within earshot with their combined passion and power.
11 YEAR OLE KID, GROWING UP IN LEMON GROVE, in San Diego, California..1969..transistor radio, taped to my Orange Crate, Schwinn.
Epic..times 🦸♂️
She put a certain spirit into her music that was totally uniquely hers.
yeah gin vodka,whisky, etc
Brings tears to the eyes! What a consummate artist Janis was. Those of us who were there at the time were spoiled cause, as far as I'm concerned, no one like her has been seen since.
Agreed 👍,her honesty and emotion were absolutely remarkable,she was one of a kind,a true blessing, natural as one can be,she was and still is the bright light of soul, ironic that word...soul because it has two definitions in one embodiment of a person,Janis Joplin ✌️
Agree 100%, the garbage artist of today can’t even come close.
@@RocketPipeTV I still have a LP of her
Pure Talent,no props, synthesizers,back up dancers, Showing of T&A,just pure God given Talent 😔!!!!
hey, synth is good.
You are right
Went to her childhood home in Port Arthur, said a prayer and sat there in front of the memorial. Later i went to the museum there and got memorabilia, and then I went to the beach west of Sabine pass thinking she was there with me. It was a full moon...
She took an already amazing song and elevated it into the stratosphere. I's been 50 years on since her passing and I can honestly say no one today comes close.
I watched a lot of modern day artists try to cover her. No one sounds like her. She's just someone that is so special you have to be grateful with memories. Perfection is only perfection because it can't last forever.
More importantly, she influenced so many people.
My God what a talent she was.
Is.
A true candle in the wind 😥
talent to shout
I was at one of her last concerts as a toddler. My older brother remembers her. He says he thought she was yelling out because she was in pain. We were both born in 66. We are from San Francisco. Her songs cannot be duplicated, I agree. I like Bobby Mcgee the most.
That's Pure talent ...her voice is a gift from heaven with such emotional notes , blows me away !!
One thing for sure , that's her live voice , no autotune , no nothing but her raw voice at its purest form .
That's a real Texas Girl !
It's just too bad that she suffered most of her pain of rejection in Texas and had to go to California to find acceptance.
If thats a voice from heaven fk me…..
Sylvain descot her voice is not from heaven you are very wrong. She does have a very nice raw voice, but it’s from hell not heaven
Yes man, you are so right. Like that we don't have them anymore.
@@johnnyacevedo681
Whiskey voice.
Janis said "I just want to feel as much as I can. It's what soul is all about". One of the best voices of all time.
That was Brilliant......I'm 71 years old and that just sends me back to my youth.......and that is the woman that has carried me for 50+ years.
She has carried my heart and soul....for 50 and more years.... Thank you Janis....I just wish you could have been here these last 50 years or so.....
And shown these pathetic wannabees what real talent is!
She was awesome..meet her in ont ..strawberry fields ❤❤❤
I remember driving to high school and listening to this new song "Down On Me" on the radio. Blew me away. She only got better. Us baby boomers are old geezers now but we were teenagers in the late '60s. What a time to be a music fan. It was all new and it was incredible.
Always tell my kids....we boomers don't fade away, we rock till we drop. 🤘😎
Was it a sterofonic radio with many speakers...... or quadrofonic....
YEA BUDDY !
I always say the old folks homes are going to be so rockin' with your generation then mine . I made it to the 60's damn it, born in 69! Lol
what a voice we never forget !! even old !! like i am 71 !!!!
I'm 68. And I'll Listen to her songs until I'm on my deadbed. 🤗💛🧡💚❤💙💜
You guys still have your love beads? Believe it or not, I do.
I can't watch this performance without tearing up.
I know what you mean! I get chills down my spine when I hear that powerful voice!
This lady really had soul and a pair of horns on her. She sure can blow.
George London Saudade... :(
I love that sweet look on her face in the last frame, so cute and innocent i love it.
