I had heard a movie was coming out about one of my favorite rocker's life, but unfortunately I think the movie is stalled out right now. I hope it gets made because I would love to learn more about Janis Joplin. She had a unique style that I have always admired. Her voice is the perfect mix of gravely, soulful, and rich. She could really rock out. One of my favorites is Me and Bobby McGee, but I also like the song I chose for tonight. I chose Piece of My Heart because I think it shows off her vocal range the best. Is there a better female classic rock singer than Janis? I don't think so...
Piece of My Heart (1968)

I used to hear the Rose was loosely based on her life.. Also loved her "Mercedes Benz" don't know for sure if that was the name of the song...
I also really like her. Piece of my Heart is on my list of upcoming what's plyaing on my ipod Mondays.
hey! i'm taking some time to catch up on blog reading. john is sitting on my lap as i clicked on the youtube of janis j. john took the headphones away from me (our speakers are not working) and has yet to give them back. i guess we can now add janis to his list of faves that include the beatles and bob marley. great song!
