Poor Janis. such a short tormented life. I'm 79 and loved her back then. She could have never imagined people listening to her decades later, let alone inducted unto the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Too bad she couldn't know.
Yes, Janis is sadly in the 27 club. This song was released after her death. All of her songs are fantastic, but she's probably most known for Ball and Chain, Piece of My Heart, Summertime, and Me and Bobby McGee. The best Joplin video you can react to is her doing Ball and Chain at Monterey. She walked into that show a nobody (like, seriously - they didn't even record her first performance because she was an opening act but then they made her do it all again after they realized how special she is). So she walked into that show a nobody and left a legend.
Janis grew up in Port Arthur, Texas and was a fan of the black female singers of the 1920s and 1930s, i.e. Bessie Smith, Big Mama Thornton, and Ma Rainey. She also tended to dress like Bessie Smith, who was known for her flashy clothes.
I'm living for BP to hear 'Ball and chains' . But it doesn't matter what she sings because as soon as that girl opens her mouth to sing, I'm living it. She pierces to your soul. RIP Baby Girl, thank you for existing and helping me through some very hard times.🙏❤️🙏💔🖤
You should watch her "Ball and Chain" live at the Monterey Pop Festival. A lot of people saw her for the first time there, and she simply blew everyone's mind.
I’m so pleased younger generation is appreciating our music. I used to play this record and stand in front of mirror with a hairbrush pretending to be her. Me and Bobby McGee is her most famous song. Piece of my heart was my favorite.
I had the privilege of watching her from backstage when she performed in 1969. A few swigs of Southern Comfort before the set and she was on fire! I've never seen an artist put so much of their heart and soul into a performance. Its still my favorite concert after 50+ years.
In 1970, I was a 16 year old in Ohio. My step-sister and I ran away to California with plans to see Janis at the 1970 Monterey Pop Festival. Got to LA, hung around a while. The fest was scheduled the middle of Oct. and we planned to be there.... However Janis was found dead in a chalet in LA on Oct. 4th., 2 weeks before the festival. We were so bummed! We did make it to Monterey in spite of Janis' loss. What a trip! RIP to all the members of the 27 Club. Janis, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Curt Cobain and Amy Winehouse are the ones I know of.
We discovered Californians in the 70's were another breed entirely! Strange, strange trip!! We met up with an engaged college couple, very preppy. They went to Monterey with us. Along the way we met a little, dirty biker dude and this guy convinced the bride they were together in a previous life. She dumped her fiancé for him! Stepsister's boyfriend got poisoned on the beach one night. I about fell off a cliff on the beach. 2 Hell's Angels were scheming something on me, friends and step sister pulled up in a car and rescued me. Oh, to be young and dumb again!! lol
Janis had a very turbulent life. She was very disliked in her teens by her classmates. She never fit in. You can tell by her clothes. But boy when she made it famous she went back to her high school reunion and rubbed it all in their face. A Little Piece Of My Heart and Bobby McGee were my favs.
That's an incredible story. I bet it was an intense time to be there. I was in London when Princess Di died and that was intense, too....the closest I can imagine....not the same but----
We sure had the talent back in the 60’s and 70’s. Now you know why we 65 plus people think there’s no talent in todays so called music industry. But….there is lots of great independent artists I’ve discovered. Great reaction.
She was a legend and she was at Woodstock. She bought blues and soul to the Rock and roll audience. She also took an Erma Franklin song Arethas sister Piece of my Heart to the mainstream.
Great choice for your first listen. Songs you might know: A Little Piece of My Heart. Me and Bobbie McGee. Yeah man go watch any live recording of hers. I’m thinking there is a Woodstock performance that’s of pretty decent quality.
Try the Monterey Jam festival with Mama Cass watching her in amazement. Watchng Janis is like watching Joe Cocker Tough to look at but you can't turn away.
a true female GOAT!!!!! A one of kind will never be another one like her!! I am 75 & have loved her since she 1st came on scene in late 60's - Big Brother & Company - . Her last boyfriend/lover was Kris Kristofferson who broke with her due to her drug/alcohol dependence that was ruining her talent & hampering her future. Little did he know she had recorded "Me & Bobby McGee" - which was released after her death!!! So glad she made it to the R&R Hall of Fame - she so deserved it!!! RIP Janice - we still listen to you & love you!! The reaction folks are introducing you to a whole new generation of listeners!!! Check out her Woodstock Festival performance - it is mind-blowing!!!
She was one of the greats and I know many of us miss her. RIP, My most favorite song is "Try" What a soulful song and she does it like nobody can. I hope one day you'll play it here. Thanks for sharing.
Janis Joplin ...without words the best love all her music. She has so much soul and her voice makes you feel every note she sings. Thanks for the reaction to janis
I bought this album when it came out in 1971. I was 16. I played both sides many times repeatedly. She sings the kind of blues I like, but as a singer, she is still one of a kind. I remember being very sad when I found out she died. I wondered what the world would miss because of it. RIP Janis Joplin.
I think Peace of my Heart, Bobby McGee, Ball and Chain, Summertime (Gershwin) and Mercedes-Benz are her most famous songs. Bobby McGee and Mercedes-Benz probably the likeliest radio hits, the others a bit more to chew on.
“Piece of My Heart” (from the 'Cheap Thrills' album with Big Brother & the Holding Co.) was her biggest hit till (Kris Kristofferson's song) "Me and Bobby McGee" came out after her death on the 'Pearl' album, which also included "Cry Baby" "Move Over" "Mercedes Benz" and "Get It While You Can" all personal favorites👏✨
I’m of the belief that reaction channels can go both ways you react to things you haven’t heard but then show us the stuff you love and if you feel the need to elaborate tell us why, show us your favorite parts. To me reaction channels are like listening with a friend. We show each other things and chill. I’m here for it. Going to check your new track after this.
Yes , this is like whe. I was a teen , and we used to go to each other's homes and play the albums together and for each other. We would get so excited when one of our favorite artist would drop a new album . I think that is the same feeling I get with my favorite reactors
Piece of my Heart, Summertime, Me and Bobby McGee, Cry Baby and for me a Song from the Album that never got big because it was a Cover: Cripple Creek. I used to fall asleep hearing this from the living room. My Dad worked graveyard and my Mom stayed up Late. Janis was one of her favorite artists.
I remember as a little girl about 5 or 6 seeing Janice on TV and I asked my mom, "Who is that crazy screaming woman?" and she said "Janice Joplin, one of the greatest singers in the world." Momma was right. 👌😊
She is my all-time favorite female singer ever, and there will never ever be another Janis Joplin!!! if autotune had been invented back then it would have ruined her, her raw raspy soulful voice is one of a kind!!
Welcome to the world of Janis as you can see she is much beloved, you got over 4600 views in 3 hours and ~400 while I was watching!. There has never been anyone like Janis; she had grit and soul. Kudos to the band’s excellent performance. You’re in store for more great listening from Janis! She's got lots of wonderful songs and you must watch her live performance of "Ball & Chain" at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival!
I was a teenager when Janis hit. I've listened to this song uncountable times and I STILL get chills, every time. She was unparalleled, totally unique, irreplaceable. She sang her soul.
I am almost 50 years old and have been listening to Janis Joplin all my life and I still get chill bumps sometimes. Please react to a live performance. You'll be blown away.
Janis Joplin does not have any bad songs. Many have tried to emulate her, but there is only one Janis Joplin. When you react on Ball and Chain, the woman with the sun glasses spotted in the crowd is the late Mama Cass of the Mamas and Popas of the ’60s.
Indeed she does not and not only was Cass going to be the headliner of the show but she and John Phillips of the Mama's and the Papas were sponsors of this early 3 day iconic summer of love rock festival where so many huge acts got a huge boost.
@@acehays Janis and her band almost did not make it into the movie. They refused to sign the waiver that Philips and Lou Adler required in order to be included in the planned movie. Apparently, they played a second show so that the promoters could record their performance. That's probably why Cass is sitting in the audience. She already had an idea what was to come. And the rest is history.
I'm 76 and boy we had some fantastic music and musicians and singers! We lost them too soon!😢 I love that you are expanding your music knowledge! We were do lucky! We had Motown,blues rock and classic rock! I miss those days!❤❤❤ New to uour channel and love it,!
Please I have to tell you how wonderful it is as a 62-year-old woman to watch someone discover the music that I grew up with, the best era for music ever. We had the beautiful sounds 60s harmonies to the grungy hippie 70s with some country and Bluegrass sprinkled in between. We had rooms that were better than the originals, guitarists who sounds went through your the veins in your body through to your soul. We had voices that didn't need Auto-Tune would just as amazing as guitar solos and then we had drum solos that would just pound inside your body like a wonderful reminder that you're alive. Enjoy your journey and I want to give you so many ideas of other songs. But being that I'm on a Joplin reaction I think I'll leave you with, try her singing summertime, from the Play Porgy and Bess. Please enjoy. Love you
I was in high school in the 70's when "Me And Bobby McGee" came out, and I fell hard. Had to go back to her early music, and that was it. Definitely keep down this journey, and yes, watch the live videos when you can. She didn't just sing, she testified, 200% percent every performance. So glad you've found her, and are helping keep this phenomenal talent alive. Thank you,
Janis was the real deal. Look for her live performance of Ball And Chain at the Monterey Festival in '67. And watch for Mama Cass sittin' in the audience enraptured. Thanks for sharinf this one. 🙂 Oh, Cass Elliot died early as well, in '74 at the age of 33 I think?
Man you killed that in the song never met that was my favorite verse. Oh, I did like when Anthony Ray said something about throwing the keys in the water that was funny.
She was a force of nature - maybe one of the original screamers but possibly did some damage to her vocal chords (not sure - maybe one of the other listeners would know).
Janis is one artist I can never get enough of! She is someone who always gave 100%! She became known by the world at The Monterrey Pop concert, in 1967. Unfortunately she passed in 1970. Yes, she is one of the 27 Club, along with Hendrix and Jim Morrison…. She was poorly treated in Port Arthur, Texas, and continued to have her progressive views on race, etc. She had been singing the blues since age 14. I love this woman…raw, all out talent! Janis loved Aretha, Otis Redding among others and didn’t live long enough to see that people loved her just as much as those icons!
I like her live rendition of Ball and Chain at the Monterey Pop Festival, and you’ll see the reaction of Mama Cass in the audience. Then she was signed by Clive Davis. Janice grew up in Texas but she liked to go to New Orleans and listen to jazz in the clubs.
No one has ever been able to even come close to copying the raspy wailing beauty that Janis was able to bring... She really had an ability that is unmatched. Amazing vocals with "soul". She was one of a kind for sure. Thank you BP for exploring her sound. I really appreciate your reactions... you are "real" dude and I'm always looking for what you're going to bring next.
I know very little of Janis Joplin's catalog of music. But I have heard bits and pieces. Thank you for this reaction and allowing me to hear a full song by her...WOW, just WOW! She is truly unique and what an amazing vocal artist. Time for another rabbit hole for me.
She has a natural raspy voice so she has her own sound that is unique and yes she is quite ecsentric on stage with her feather boas she wears and beaded necklace and hippie style clothes. Mercedez Benz is a catchy tune.. Ball & Chain, Someday, Piece of My Heart is legendary, Me & Bobby McGee also legendary, Move Over very up beat tune, One Night Stand, A Woman Left Lonely....
You can never have too much JJ. She grew up in Port Arthur Texas. She ignored the racism and would listen to the great black artists that she would drive across the state line into La to hear. She literally grew up in those "Juke Joints".
I love that you and Anthony Ray are on this journey of discovery. I was in high school 1968-1972 and it blows my mind that Janis, Led Zeppelin, Hendrix, Beatles, Stones, etc etc were what we listened to on the radio! And the concerts!!!!! So enjoy reliving this with you guys.❤❤❤❤
Nobody can touch Janis Joplin. She was taken way too soon. Don't get me wrong as I have a lot of respect and love for many female artist. Something just came from deep inside of her and that something came out full force when she performed. She was painfully shy and bullied in her school years. I wonder what these bullies have thought these past decades. I'm so sorry you weren't turned on to Pearl long ago but the great thing is you are now. This is so good it hurts. I just Thank my Lord I was able to exist in the music decades I did. PEACE.
I really enjoy watching your reactions to the music of my life. She has the dubious honor of being one of the OG's in the 27 club. "Cry Baby" is a song originally recorded by Garnet Mimms and the Enchanters, in 1963, and later recorded by rock singer Janis Joplin in 1970.
Got goosebumps didn't ya? I did too when I first started listening to Janis. I still do, in fact. LOVE her... such a beauty, inside and out Definitely check out her "Kozmic Blues", "Get It While You Can", "Little Girl Blue", "Ball and Chain", "Maybe", "Summertime", "Me and Bobby McGee", "Mercedes Benz", and To Love Somebody and DEFINITELY "Work Me Lord!" ALL absolutely phenomenal. And DEFINITELY check her out live. She is a firecracker. Shy and laid back in interviews, a hurricane on stage.
Big Brother and The Holding Company, with Janis Joplin, their main singer. A must with the little flower Janis Joplin. I'm 70 yr's old and do miss her ever so. May she have found peace in the after-life. A raw, heavy, hallucinogenic San Francisco rock band (Big Brother and The Holding Company) who featured Janis Joplin and hit it big with 1968's "Piece of My Heart." "Bye, Bye Baby," A MUST LISTEN-TO: "Down on Me."
Yes, Sir - she poured EVERYTHING OUT onto THE STAGE, when she performed. I would've LOVED to have seen what she came out with: had she lived. SORELY MISSED! RIP, JANIS - YOU ARE MISSED!!! ENJOY, BP!! One of the best rabbit holes to dive down into, as far as I'm concerned!! You ought to see her performance at the Monterrey Festival - SUPER- ELECTRIC PERFORMANCE!!! HUGS!
Check out her live performance of the old blues classic" Summertime". Exceptional! Also recommend her cover of Me and Bobby Mcgee.. Saw her live in 1969 at the West Palm Beach Festival..
Very good choice, nice and honest reaction. How happy to see young people interested in the artists of the sixties, seventies and eighties who were the ones who wrote the book of modern music that was white and empty.So Congratulations. Janis is an example of pure energy, pure feeling, an inimitable force of nature, surely there will be better singers but never one who comes close to her. Such a deep soul her heartbreaking voice that makes you feel everything and make your skin crawl ,goosenunps and mind blow. The Queen of Blues was, along with Hendrix and Jim Morrison, one of the first members of the 27 club. Check any Joplin track , for sure you gonna love her . Maybe Summertime blues Piece of my heart Ball of chain Bobby MaGee Try ( litle bit harder) And much more !!! Keep on rocking guy !!! Greetings from Barcelona and excuse my english 😅
