I complain that singers today just sound generic,like they were all cranked out from a clone farm someplace.
No mistaking Janis' unique vocals!
I enjoyed hearing the studio conversation as well :)

Of course she was great. She was a rock & roll singer. Not like most of the packaged people who stand there and play star now a days.

That's the one song I might attempt to sing karaoke, but I never will since I couldn't do justice to it. She was awesome.

Thanks for posting this link. I almost got thrown out of the house for bringing a Janis Joplin record home when I was in high school. My father didn’t want drug addict records in his house. Little did he know I was drinking, getting high and taking speed on a regular basis.

A songs with all great memories. It's been too long since I've heard this.

Janis Joplin died before I was old enough to listen to music (without the parental screening - who would have poo-poo'ed listening to her) so I've not heard much of her music.
