Try "Cheap Thrills" by Big Brother and the Holding Company from 1968. That's the real Janis Joplin. The greatest female blues/rock singer of all time. And she died 2 weeks after Jimi Hendrix. Sept. 1970 was a sad time. Both were 27 at the time. RIP Janis and Jimi. And to that joke Tom Jones, this music NOT rhythm and blues.
вы наверное хорошо знаете ее песни, можете объяснить смысл этой песни про девочку в голубом? перевод я читал много раз а суть не ясна! в чём трагизм песни? мне неясно. может есть предистория песни?! спасибо заранее!
Janis will always be my #1 female rocker!! Every female rocker (and even some male) ĥas to give it to this lady she was so real and poweful with the most intense willingness of soul and emotions , giving her all in every performance without failure
A real diamond of a tune of this December 4, 1969 version here (in playback for "Little Girl Blue" it seems) in the "This Is Tom Jones" TV show! I am still looking for the wonderful guitarist who, in arpeggios which take our hearts, skilfully weaves the framework on which Janis places her heartbreaking melancholy voice. His guitar simply envelops and dances perfectly around Janis' voice. This recording, which ends the documentary "Janis: Little Girl Blue" too, is by far the best version of this piece and it is partly thanks to the playing of this guitar play. There was many reworking along 1969 between the guitarists accompanying Janis and this playback (if it's one) should been therefore recorded before December 1969. It isn't the same one kept on "I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama!" LP. What 60's Janis specialist or fan could reveal us with certainty the identity of this very sensitive guitarist of the "This Is Tom Jones" TV "Little Girl Blue" version ? Was it really Sam Andrew ? (mentioned on LP) James Gurley, John Till or an other genius ? It is incredible that nobody mention this perfect accompaniment which is really a shell for this pearl, a perfect sad melancholic song. We shouldn't only salute artists's guitar solos! I was struck by the fact that this video version of Little Girl Blue's live TV performance is much more inspired, richer, more engaging and better timed than the official one on the "Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama!" LP released two or three months earlier where the guitar drops and gets sometimes a bit lost. As guitar player, I would be very curious to know who was the mysterious guitarist of this perfect version because it haunts me. While we all agree in saluting the sublime power and voice of Janis in the foreground, curiously, no one asks who was this great guitarist whose beautiful harmonic quality carries 1/3 emotion of this performance by supporting it so well with its twists & turns.
