Died 40 years ago; Janis Joplin

Hard to believe she died forty years ago. What a loss, I always believed she had so much more to give.

Song Saturday; Janis singing Summertime

Janis Joplin - Summertime

(Live Gröna Lund 1969)

The sun is shining, every thing in the garden is looking good……………oh what a voice this woman had

 

Song saturday; Janis Joplin

The first video is Janis Joplin singing
 ''Me and Bobby Mcgee''

The first recording of Me & Bobby McGee in the studio. Janis sounds amazing and completely nails it in one take. Is raw and unedited - features studio conversations at beginning. Enjoy!

The second video is Janis singing  
''To love somebody''

And the last one is
''Cry Baby''

Paintings by contemporary American artist Connie Tom


   

Song Saturday, ''Freedom is just another word for nothing else to lose''

On this weekend it just had to be one of my all time favourites from her 'Pearl' album...............
