Just finished my VJ playlist featuring Janis Joplin. She has always been one of my favorite singers. I think I was probably in my mid teens when I first heard her music, and fell in love with her voice and style immediately. I have always thought it was a waste that we lost her talent when she was so young. Fame... it'll usually kill the great ones, one way or another. Have a listen, turn it up and enjoy the raspy truth of life. I tried to pick versions where the recording is good so some are live and some of just recordings from various sources, but they where the best I could find. Wouldn't it have been great to be a Woodstock, Monterey, or even Toronto and seen her live. Man, that would have been incredible. Rock on. The Doors to follow.
