Sweet Jane 61 Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Today is the 35th anniversary of her tragic death and she is still rockin' and singin' the blues with us!

edna Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Yestreday I spent at least three hours listening to Janis Joplin. We were driving and we found some Janis tapes ("Cheap thrills" and some compillations)... she´s one of the greatest. I still remember when I learned she died... I was reading the newspaper in the schoolyard and I told my friends... we were astonished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katie_sane Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 I remember my friends giving me a bottle of Southern Comfort for my 16th birthday My uncle gave me 'Pearl' for my 19th birthday two years ago. I loved it then and I love it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonJonSurfer Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 The lady could belt out a song like no female rocker before her. She paved the way for many who came after her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 There was a documentary/movie released in the early or mid seventies, with the Dick Cavett interview in, excellent performances, etc. It´s also on an album... tittle is just "Janis". It must be on DVD and I really would recomend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Jane 61 Posted October 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Janis was a lost soul...she longed for real love and looked in all the wrong places trying to find it, and drugs killed the lonliness and pain. Funny thing is, if she hadn't of been so deep with pain maybe she would have not been the singer she was. You know with Janis every word comes from within her, deep in the soul. And who can't identify with that at a point in their life? She was a gift, too bad she never realized it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When people talk about the blues, they tend to leave her out, a lot of people identify her with the late 60's San Francisco sound, but that was psychedelic/electric, not really Janis' style at all. Even her upbeat songs were really sad, looking back, cause you know she was stoned out of her mind. Her personal life was so sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Jane 61 Posted January 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Happy Birthday Janis!! I know you aren't here with us but I bet you are rockin' out wherever you may be!! Here is a quote I found... "In the words of biographer Myra Friedman, “It wasn’t only her voice that thrilled, with its amazing range and strength and awesome wails. To see her was to be sucked into a maelstrom of feeling that words can barely suggest.†She was a dynamic singer who shred her vocal cords on driving psychedelic rockers like “Combination of the Two†and then deliver a delicate, empathetic reading of George Gershwin’s “Summertime.†Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
