Piece of My Heart (Official Audio) 

I am 65 years old and in between realized that having grown up with the onset and rise of rock music was a great gift to my generation

I am 70 and still love her, she was a piece of my soul

Im 72 FROM CALIFORNIA, I SEEN HER.IN Concert WHEN I WAS 18yrs .AND WOW SHE WAS AMAZING..❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

In honor of Janis Joplin, she passed away, 50 years ago today. Incredible talent and music, sadly she was only 27 years old. RIP Pearl

This is a product of pouring your whole soul into a song

I agree with last message. I'm 70 years old and happy I had Janis Joplin in my life. She was a revolution to the music world. Right on girl. Shout it out! ✌❤

Nobody can outdo Janis' version of this song. To me, she owns it. Everyone else pays rent. RIP Pearl

Janis Joplin had a hell of a voice.

Born in 1959 and I thank GOD those were the best times of my life because of of the greatest artists in the world to listen to ❤

My dad passed away last August at 90 years old. He grew up at the end of the jazz-WWII era and his huge record collection I inherited had all sorts of musical genres from jazz, early rock, classical, theater and movie show tunes. So my dad had a lot of different tastes in music. He wasn't a huge 60s plus rock fan but did love Ms. Joplin very much. This song was one of his favorites and I love listening to it now and thinking of my dad. Miss you! :)

One of my all-time favorite songs, She had such a powerful voice

God rest your beautiful soul Janis 🙏💔😥THE QUEEN OF ROCK & BLUES!!! 💐💐💐💐💐💐💐

What a voice I am 75yrs old and still jamming to one of the greatest voices of all time

She was an absolute talented and tortured soul 🙏❣️

After 50 years I still thanks Pearl for giving oxygen back to my ears, destroyed by the shitty music we hear today!!

I don't care what people think about us baby boomers. We had the best music.

I never much cared for Janis Joplin's singing until fairly recently! I'm 80 years old and am now appreciating the music of my time. Rock on where ever your soul is resting , Janis.....

"I'm gonna show you baby that a woman can be tough". Great, GREAT lyric.

Wow! Singing this out loud AGAIN at a rough time in 2023! made me feel GOOD! Thanks, always to Janis Joplin!

Somewhere in heaven, Janis was so happy and proud that people up to this day still appreciated this song !...Outstanding voice!..rare one of a kind!

Her song and voice pulls the truth out of every one of us who've had our hearts broken. RIP Janice.

I’m 74 years old and I was at Big Brother’s and Janis at the Philly Electric Company Show. It was very small with low ceilings. You could barely see and breath from the smoke. We we’re all pushed up against the small stage! It still is just a special moment of my memory in my life. It was 1968I think? LOL I was actually attending Villanova at the time and selling Tickets at the Pie Shop. It was along time ago! The Electric Factory was just trying to get off the ground.

I am 14 years old and told my dad a while ago that i like Janis Joplin. He became quite suprised as he told me, that not a lot of people around my age is familiar with her. I am glad that i grew up with music like this. I think that it’s a way better than most of the music people at my age listen to nowadays. Today it is one of my all-time favourite songs, She had such an unique and powerful voice.

Everybody is talking about Janis but for me, this song is all about the great guitar work from Sam and James. This song had a huge impact on my style.

Such a POWERFUL voice! My favorite song! I'm in my 70's, i have it on a CD in my car and like I did as a teen, turn up the volume and sing along! I get weird looks, for an old lady rocking down the road, but age is only on the OUTSIDE! ✌&❤

One of the great blues voices of my generation, gone too soon. She had a tough exterior with a soft heart. She was so misunderstood at a time when men feared strong women. She was a pioneer in rock n roll and in life.

In 1968 , I was an 8th grader . I loved this Song . Still one of my favorite records . 😊😊

*_Rest In Peace Janice_* *_Job Well Done, Blues Lady_*

Janis had a wounded soul her music showed that

Janis Joplin a eterna rainha do blues 🇧🇷🎤🔥☮️🤘🏽❤️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

One of the best singers of all time

I was 10 years old when Woodstock came about. And it was then that I first heard of Janis Joplin and what a great singer and performer she was, so I just had to hear her music for myself. At 10 yo I immediately became a Jan fan. I am now 60 and still love watching her live performance videos. There will never be anyone that even comes close.

Janis Joplin sempre foi e sempre será a Eterna Rainha do Rock & Blues! A maior cantora que o mundo conheceu!

My husband love her music and when he pass away I play her music in his wake .

Happy Birthday to the Late Janis Joplin Blessings and Hugs 💖💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕!

Remembering Janis Joplin today on her birthday, who would be 77

Her voice is perfect for this song. I can't imagine anyone else singing it as perfectly as she did 🔥🔥🔥

All time classic.

V she was the best first woman to be in the rock scene

Happy 80th birthday Janis Joplin!!!

My dad had this album and he used to play it all the time when I was growing up. This was one of his favorite songs. ❤️

This is the BEST version of this song, Janis is feeling every word. What a amazing singer.

Listening to this and comparing it with what passes for music industry "product" today makes me suspect that devolution is much more plausible than any sort of evolution. So much more alive.

A spirit that was taken from people too soon...A long time, before I wasn’t born yet ❤️😢

WHAT A MASTERPIECE

Didn't Robert Crumb (FRITZ THE CAT) draw that cover art? It looks pretty cool 😺👍. And Janis Joplin is a legendary musician 🎵🎶. 😺👍

Janice & her band were great. Janice is known for her edgy soulful powerful voice, but she was ALSO versatile. Listen to her when she sings "smoothly". What a great talent. She had great dynamics & could turn it on & off at will. This was a "live "performance in the studio which makes it great. Raw live honest power.

Don't mind me, just a 2001 baby discovering older music 😮

The psychedelic sixties at its musical best! Janis Joplin really knew how to rock back in the day!

I'm 19, my Grandma introduced me to Janis Joplin when I was about 10-12 years old, her songs make it more special to me bc my grandma and I would listen to her all the time, she passed away in September 2019 due to multiple cancers. She passed at 59, she just turned 61 in December 2020.

She would have been 80 today. Gone too soon. but still here.

I had the great privilege of meeting her in person when I was at summer camp, about 13 yrs old. She was incredibly gracious, allowing me to take her picture as she relaxed by the pool. That night, Big Brother & the Holding Company gave a performance in the mess hall for the campers and staff. I will never forget the electricity, the sheer energy that she radiated, with her entire body not just her voice.

My favorite part is the wail at 3:32.

Janis' love for music is a gift to all of us ❤♥🎼 We'll never forget her.

Спасибо! Это лучшее исполнение нашей Дженис Джоплин❤🎉😊😊😊

Playing in honor of a great legend who passed away 53 years ago.

I am 73 years old and this has always been my favourite teebage song//AND IT IS STILL GREAT

I love everything about this song. The guitar work! The bass! Those drums! The singer's not too shabby either.

I love that her voice is so unique love it

Good music is something you have to find yourself

Oh, come on, come on, come on, come on! Didn't I make you feel like you were the only man - yeah! An' didn't I give you nearly everything that a woman possibly can ? Honey, you know I did! And each time I tell myself that I, well I think I've had enough, But I'm gonna show you, baby, that a woman can be tough. I want you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it, Take it! Take another little piece of my heart now, baby! Oh, oh, break it! Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, oh, have a! Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, You know you got it if it makes you feel good, Oh, yes indeed. You're out on the streets looking good, And baby deep down in your heart I guess you know that it ain't right, Never, never, never, never, never, never hear me when I cry at night, Babe, and I cry all the time! But each time I tell myself that I, well I can't stand the pain, But when you hold me in your arms, I'll sing it once again. I'll say come on, come on, come on, come on and take it! Take it! Take another little piece of my heart now, baby. Oh, oh, break it! Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah, Oh, oh, have a! Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good. I need you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it, Take it! Take another little piece of my heart now, baby! Oh, oh, break it! Break another little bit of my heart, now darling, yeah, c'mon now. Oh, oh, have a Have another little piece of my heart now, baby. You know you got it - whoahhhhh!! Take it! Take it! Take another little piece of my heart now, baby, Oh, oh, break it! Break another little bit of my heart, now darling, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Oh, oh, have a Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, hey, You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good.

Oh my goodness, what a voice!

👍👍 the one & only Janis 👍👍

I’ve heard this!! Love the rawness! She really had a unique & incredible voice 😢

Big Brother & The Holding Company was one of the bands Janis Joplin performed with (as lead vocalist) before going solo later in 1968. Until her passing in 1970, “Piece Of My Heart” was her biggest success and best-known piece*. Although she wasn’t the first to record it, the single remains most associated with Joplin and kept on getting airplay long after her death. Janis Pearl Joplin sang “Piece Of My Heart” at Woodstock in 1969 as part of her encore❕ 💙💜💚 Always loved, never forgotten, forever missed will you remain, Janis Lyn Joplin (1943 - 1970)… 🌹 * The posthumous “Me And Bobby McGee” reached #1 in 1971.

Esse som jamais será esquecido! Eterna Janis

I’m thankful for my mother for many things, and showing me this song is definitely one of them

Her first chart hit with the Holding Company. From October 68. I was 15! Terrific guitar solo!

Janis Lynn Joplin 1943-70 iconic.. Joplin was definitely that girl

The best combination of psychedelia and blues

I loved Janis Joplin when I was about 5 years old in early 1970s. She'd sounded great looked great.

If this song isn't the definition of true love I don't know what is. Break my heart take my heart. Over and over again

Janis For Ever!

She definitely was a trailblazer, just like Janis Joplin and Joan Jett & the Blackhearts. This is probably the best rock song ever recorded in history!!!

Hard to believe if things went differently she could still be alive today. Our time is fragile and precious. I hope she knows she helped us enjoy our precious time on this earth.

I voted for her in the finale. Her Piece of My Heart was over the top good.

Wow the first 30 seconds of this song is like a time machine for me.. I wore this album out. She made natural curly wild hair popular in the 60s when straight hair was the thing. Thanks for saving me and my long Natural curly red hair in high school Janis, .. Wish life had handed you a better deal.

I've been listening too Janis for many of years. I loved her beautiful song. Gone way too soon R.I.P Janis Joplin ❤

Janis Joplin left us way too soon-This is an outstanding song!

Yes. God bless Big Brother and the Holding Company; BEST back up ever for Janis

Gone forty-nine years ago today. RIP, Pearl.

Absolutamente irrepetible.❤❤❤❤❤❤

Happy Birthday Janis Joplin. Today is January 19th and she would have been 81 today. You will as always be one of my few favorite female singers from my era ''60s' and '70s. No one can sing like you sang, or sing your songs like you did. I will still say this today when one is being lauded as your reincarnation. The young lady I am speaking of has a powerful voice and I like her. But Janis, no she is not. I say that without prejudice. JMO Happy Birthday Janis.

I really like how Janis Joplin sings, even though she's not in my era as a younger generation. Her demeanor on stage really inspires me as a singer. She is one of my favourites.❤❤❤

Janis, will be forever! All the best from Romania!

I'm 72 and I loved her songs. There will never be enougher Janis Joplin.

She had a piece of her heart with an extra piece of soul for excellence.

Ms Janis has such great strength in her voice She took big brother and holding comfort the top and Ms Janis own montery pop WHAT a beautiful Talent I love you sister Janis Joplin now rest in peace and with love and mercy I'll see you heaven

Me too. Love Janice Joplin. Love her songs❤

Her voice was unique and impossible to duplicate.

I'll never forget!❤0❤0

Her voice is so powerful. I have goosebumps when I hear her voice.

💕 You Honestly You Are Legendary! Authentic Soul., Amazing 🤩

Wonderful living in the SF Bay Area when Big Brother & T.H.C., with the down and dirty J.J. were doing live shows. And a big hats off to Robert Crumb for his most excellent interpretation of what a boss album cover should be like. May not be fully welcomed in the 2020s, but who cares.

Best female rocker of all time bar none

A true rocker in an age when female rock artists were much fewer than now.

Esta canción es legendaria.

greatest female singer in rock history

I live in Austin Texas and Janis would Go to a venue called Threadgills someone Spray painted JJ was here on the Building and JJ is still here with us in spirit
