Piece of My Heart has Janis' raw, belting vocals. It's a banger. ☮✌ ~ Julie

Ball and Chain at Monterey Pop Festival was her big debut and she blew everyone away.

This is tame for Janis Joplin. You need to see her perform "Cry Baby", live. She goes from 0 to 100 mph in intensity, in the first bar!

Love this song. She was good friends with Kris Kristofferson who wrote the song. He didn't know she's recorded it until after she'd passed. and was gobsmacked by her version.

"Me & Bobby McGee" is my favorite song by Janis Joplin & she recorded it a few days before her death. It was written by the late Kris Kristofferson. Janis 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 "Summertime", "Down On Me", "Maybe", "Little Girl Blue", "Try (Just A Little Bit Harder)", "Get It While You Can", "Bye, Bye Baby", "Move Over", "Mercedes Benz" etc.

This is one of Janis's softest, gentlest songs. Mercedes Benz is fun!

Live at Monteray singing Ball and Chain shows her going all out. Backing band was rough but she was amazing. And, her version of Summertime is lovely.
