Janis Joplin was a one of a kind singer with a unique voice. Sadly we lost her too soon. She was only 27 when she died. She had a lot of great songs such as "Me & Bobby McGee", "Piece Of My Heart", "Cry Baby", "Ball & Chain", "Down On Me", "Maybe", "Little Girl Blue", "Try (Just A Little Bit Harder)", "Get It While You Can", "Bye, Bye Baby", "Move Over" & her original song "Mercedes Benz".

“Move Over” is possibly my fav - it makes no sense since this song and “Ball and Chain” are at least two that immediately offer a reasonable claim to stand aa more obvious choices because of their respective greatnesses, but something about “Move Over” just resonates with me.

Same here, and true with a lot of artists. That generation laid down the bedrock of what we call "popular music", which drew together the multiple strands of music, jazz, blues, ragtime, classical, folk etc and created 90% of its canon. Popular music was itself a genre and is, in my opinion, over, in the same way that classical, jazz, opera etc are over. It fragmented into new, isoteric strands with niche appeal, some of which can barely be described as "music" at all.

Funny enough, you happened to post this on my birthday. I love Janis' soulful singing. It's nothing you'd expect. Well, at least I didn't. It is a bit of a stretch, but perhaps you would also like Thin Lizzy's "Johnny The Fox"? I find myself listening to that song and album sporadically. Sometimes I find myself saying "I need more Phill Lynot in my life". Ergo, I play one of his best albums to myself.

The rasp in her voice was forced when she was in college friends ran her voice through an oscilloscope and discovered she produced 7 distinct tones when she did it. Watch her live performances & interviews on The Dick Cavett show they had chemistry She was always at her best on his show. Dick Cavett himself is as they say "real". He had a way of putting most of his guests at ease because he didn't play dirty by dropping bomb questions. Both he and Janis had exceptionally brilliant minds.
