Despite her short life, today Janis Joplin remains one of the most widely-known and widely respected rock singers of all-time. More than 31 million copies of her albums have been sold worldwide. Most of those sold after her death and as compilations. Perhaps more than any other singer in history, she is the epitome of the free-spirited hippie who represented her era so darn well. That said, she never really fit into any category. Her style and her voice were incredibly unique and authentic. Her fans have always easily connected with her, first and foremost, because she was…real…she was them. She was a powerful voice for the underdogs…the freaks….the outcasts…and I’d say nearly all of us can relate to that. Even today, Janis Joplin remains a breath of fresh air.

@DianeLake-sw3ym 11 месяцев назад

Janis is such an interesting person. I would encourage anyone who has not seen her in the video for Monterey Pop doing ball and chain to do so now. And then go and find Kozmic blues. Among others. Janis is a force and one of a kind. Amazing. She was drinking buddies with Jimmy Page when he was in town and they were great friends. I read about this as a teenager who was a total Zep head in the mid 70s I do remember the Cheap Thrills album cover. My brother and I were rock fans since I was in first grade with the beatles. And mom let us be so. As a kid of 10 with my brother we would look at album covers in the music stores and Cheap Thrills always stood out.

Great short doc Matt - well written and produced - lots of photos I've never seen. and I've been a Joplin fan since 1969 - but although Albert Grossman managed Janis Joplin and Bob Dylan - Jimi Hendrix was managed by Michael Jeffrey and Chas Chandler and kudos to you for reading Myra Friedman's book on Janis - my favorite of the many books Janis has inspired

Thank you for this! I am of course familiar with Janis, but only for her name and some certain songs. It's always interesting to hear the story behind the artist. One band that seems to have been influential for many artists, but seems to be in the shadow of so many other bands is Sparks. Their history is really cool, maybe one for you to dig in to. And to make things even better, they're still active recordin new material and touring the world 😀

Kosmic Blues is my favorite but hard to select just one. What was left out was her 10th year High School Reunion and her San Francisco home is now a Museum. I was 9 years old when she passed and I can tell you which direction I was facing and what I was standing next to. Honest about herself, including mistakes she remain real and relatable. I Love and Miss Her!

If you want to learn more about Janis Joplin, I highly recommend the book 'Buried Alive: The Biography of Janis Joplin' - it was written by someone familiar with Joplin herself (having worked on Albert's staff) and features a lot of interesting details and personal conversations - it's also a period piece from 1973, and is pretty readable for a biography.
